Healthy children grow into healthy adults. A healthy and
productive population is an asset to any nation. The
children below 16years of age constitute almost 40%of
the population in our country.
The school age period is nutritionally significant because
this is the prime time to build up body stores of
nutrients in preparation for rapid growth of
adolescence. This period is quite vulnerable and
considered to be special risk group.

The present study reported a high
incidence of malnutrition as revealed by
their anthropometry. However increment
in height and weight were more in girls
than boys although intake of foods and
nutrients did not show large variation
among boys and girls. Study reveals gross
deficiency in dietary intake of school
going children of urban slums.
