To determine the bmi of the school going children is it according to rdi

Malnutrition continues to be a major challenge in India 75 years after independence

and we need concerted action around it. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization�s
(FAO) report on Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022 puts the number of
undernourished people in India in 2019-21 at 224.3 million, i.e., 16% of a 1.4
billion population.(3)

Over 40% of children receive less food than they should, and almost a one third of
Indians are thought to be malnourished. The Indian government is raising�food
subsidies�to solve this issue; the government is running various schemes that aim
to curb the children malnutrition problem to improve their health status. (2)

Keeping this in mind we to find out health status of school children in mehrauli
city�.Anthropometric measurement will taken for children age (5-10) (height,
weight, waist and hip circumference) and children (Height and weight and MUAC). BMI
will calculated and categorized using standard methods (WHO global database on BMI)
and in case of children z-scores were calculated for weight/age, height/age,
weight/height, BMI/age, MUAC/age using WHO Anthro software(5)

Literature review

Government has taken much effort to reduce the incidence of child undernutrition
through ICDS programme. But in spite of the presence of ICDS and regular services
by AWWs and ASHA workers under supervision of ministry of women and child
development and health and family welfare, undernutrition scenario was much worse
in the study area. Therefore the positive deviance approach has been undertaken in
the present study to find out if there is any positive behaviour present in the PD
group which is creating difference in the nutritional status outcome. Positive
deviance approach proved to be beneficial as it helped in improving knowledge and
practices regarding child feeding, healthy eating, dietary diversity which in turn
resulted in decreased incidence of child undernutrition (Wasting and underweight)
in the study area. Longer intervention period can reduce the incidence of stunting
as well which did not occur in the study due to shorter time period, more weight
gain than height and a huge difference in the emic and etic views in the community.
For the sustainability of the programme positively deviant mothers and adolescent
girls need to be employed as well as community workers need to be encouraged to
continue the process. Implementation of ICDS scheme in the study area has been
improved a lot by empowering the community workers and beneficiaries through PDA.
