Anemia is a critical public health problem in India that affects women and children throughout the lifecycle. The Govt. of India took an effort by launching the programme called “12 by 12 initiatives- addressing the problem of anemia in adolescents. Under Rajiv Gandhi Scheme for Adolescent Girls SABALA programme initiated in 2011, adolescent girls are being received weekly supplementation of iron folic acid tablets and biannual de worming tablets. Recently another remarkable initiative to improve nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women and lactating mothers, “Poshan Abhiyaan- was launched in March 2018. Despite all these programmes, the prevalence of anemia among women and Adolescent Girls is alerting. Therefore, the current study focused on knowledge, attitude and practice KAP on anemia and socio economic characteristics of Rural Adolescent Girls’ in Odisha. A one group pretest and post test design was adopted for conducting the study. 508 30 of the population girl students from one school and two 2 colleges in Banki were selected as the sample for the study. Information on socio demographic profile, history of worm infestation, menarche, menstrual problems, personal hygiene and consumption of green leafy vegetables, diet history were collected through the questionnaire. Height and weight were measured along with hemoglobin status. Paired t test was used to know the difference between pretest and post test. ANOVA for Significant difference between the sources of information and gain score of KAP, correlation coefficient between KAP, regression analysis is used to know the relationships between multiple variables of the study. The present study reflects that the difference in the mean score of the Knowledge, attitude and practice are higher after the post test than the pretest scores. Hence, it is interpreted that the planned nutrition education programme on Anemia was very effective in changing the knowledge, attitude and practice among the rural adolescent girls in a positive direction. There is significant difference between Age group, Age at menarche, family type, mother’s educational status, personal hygiene and sanitation facilities and the gain score of knowledge, attitude and practice. There is a significant difference between the family income and the gain score of the knowledge, attitude and practice of anemia at the 0.05 level of significance. Thus, it is concluded that the demographic variables would have influence over the knowledge, attitude, and practice on anemia.

Health and nutritional status are two crucial and interlinked aspects of human development, which in to interact with demographic variables Malnutrition a condition that occurs due to intake of inadequate amount of nutrients leading to insufficient nourishment continues to be a problem of considerable magnitude in most of the developing countries in the world. Preschool children are one of the most nutritionally vulnerable segments of the population. Nutrition during the first 5 years has not only an impact on growth and morbidity during childhood, but also acts as a determinant of nutritional status in adolescent and adult life. Global comparative data indicate that contrary to common perception, prevalence of under nutrition is highest in South Asian children. India has the highest occurrence of childhood malnutrition in the world. Malnutrition is responsible for 55 percent of all deaths of children younger than 5 years of age globally. Malnutrition makes a child susceptible to infections and delayed recovery, thus increasing mortality and morbidity. It is therefore logical to direct attention to the quality of life of the survivors Bose and Das, 2010 .

Principally as a storage polysaccharide, inulin is widely distributed in plants and vegetables. It has been proven as a vital prebiotic which is available in more than 30,000 plant species on planet. The fermentation of inulin in large intestine result in the growth and improved metabolism of microbiota. Besides, its nutritional and therapeutic ability it imparts various techno functional and physical properties in food processing industry. In addition, it does evidently instigate techno functional and physical characteristics in food processing industry. Both long chain and short chain inulin are broadly used as fat replacer, foam foaming agent, sugar replacer and texture modifier. As a polysaccharide it improves the mouth feel property of processed food. It can be an important functional ingredient in processed industry This review article endeavours to explore various investigations done to employ techno functional properties of inulin to present an extensive recapitulation of related researches in past 10 years.

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized society. Various studies indicate the consumption of a vegetarian diet or a diet high in cereal fiber appears to be associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. Based on this, a product was developed which is not only high in fiber, low in saturated fats, high in PUFA and MUFA but also a good source of phytochemicals and antioxidant. The products were developed basic with sugar sample A, variations with jaggery sample B and artificial sweetener sample C using bajra, oats, wheat bran, flax seeds, whole green gram, almonds and walnuts. The nutritive value per 100g of the basic recipe energy – 389kcal, protein 13g, fat – 12g, fiber – 6.5g and variations were calculated. The pH and alcoholic acidity of the products were estimated using standard procedures. The products were subjected to sensory analysis through Hedonic rating test and the results revealed that sample B scored the highest. The cost of the products per 100g ranged from Rs. 9 to Rs. 14. From the results it is clear that the sample B prepared with jaggery was the most acceptable and hence, can be recommended for the patients suffering with cardiovascular diseases.

According to World Health Organisation, Adolescents are defined as the period of life spanning the age between 10 19 years. This particular period in girls has been recognised as a special period of transition from girlhood to womanhood. It is a vulnerable period in the human life cycle for the development of nutritional anaemia. Number of nutritional programmes, schemes and anaemia control programme in India had been implemented by the Government but still there is a need for prevalence. The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls and to study the socio demographic factors associated with anaemia. A Cross sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate of anaemia among adolescent girls in the urban area. The data was collected from the Thiruvalluvar School in Palani Block which is located in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu. A total of 40 school going girls between the age of 15 17 years were included in the study. Overall prevalence of anaemia was 77.1 N=40 . Where in 42.5 N=17 were mild anaemia followed by 32.5 N=13 moderate anaemia. Among the group only one student is suffering from severe anaemia 2.1 N=1 . From the selected samples majority of them were suffering from mild and moderate anaemia and fifty five percent of them revealed that four days they have bleeding in menstrual cycle history. Thus the study concludes that anemia were widely prevalent in adolescent girls. There is a need to initiate intervention actions aimed at this group in order to reduce the prevalence of anemia among anaemic girls.
