BACKGROUND: The effect of helminth infestation on the nutrition, growth, and
physiology of the host is still poorly understood .Anthelmintic treatment of children
in developing countries has had varying success in terms of growth improvements.
OBJECTIVE: Hie objective of this study was to assess the effect of regular
de worming on clrildgiowlli, (fiysioloey. and lioclienical status. DESIGN: The
study was a 12-mo longitudnal intenention in 123 Bangladeshi childr en aged2-5

BACKGRt L ND: School-based devrorning programmes have been p onioledas
a cost-efl'ective sti ategy for control of nematode infection in developing countries.
While nnmet ois efficacy’ strides have been conducted. there is little information on
actual prog amme effectiveness in areas of intense transmiss on. METHODS: A
randomized trial of a school-based ctewormi 11g pt og anime was conducted in 12
pimray schools on Pemba Island, Zanzibar. Four schools each were randomized to
control, twice a year deworming witli sinsje dose mebendazole or tliree times a

the Kato-Katz techiiique, demographic irifonnalion raid nutritional status were
collect ed on 3028 cliilden irom March 1994 to May 1995. RESULTS Intensity
of infection measured as eggs pur gram of faeces (cpg) declined significantly fa

In recent yeai s significant progress has been made in understanding the ecd ogy,
epidemiology andrelated moth city and development of now tods for the control of
soil-transiiitted helminths. Such knowledge has recognized the imjMct of helminth
infections on the health of infected groups and has created a rational basis for their
control. School chi 1 den binbour some ofthe most intense hdmintliic infectious,
which produce adverse effects on healtlr, growth and scholastic performance.
However, although great elici t lias been put into targeting school-age cliilci’en,
women of chi id-1 taring age and pre-school chilcken are two othei groups at high
risk of morbi rfty die to intestinal nematode infections. Hiejilv effective and

UDISHA SUMMARY
April 6, 2001
Introduction

The objective of UDISHA- the WB assisted ICDS Trg Programme is to develop all the

functionaries of ICDS into agents of social change (From April 1999 for 5 years). Additional funds
have been provided for staff honorarium including provision for guest speakers.

The staff

honorariums have been raised. Training teams for field trg of AWW will be constituted from
members of AWTC, DIET, Health Dept., ICDS, Mahila Samakya/FNB/WDP/DWCRA, DPEP

Gender Trainers
The training infrastructure is being upgraded- AWTC, MLTC. A State Resource Unit is

Adolescent Health
The Karnataka Government provides facilities for improving health of adolescent youth
through its various departments viz. Health & Family Welfare, Women & Child
Development. Education, Women’s Development Corporation, Sports & Youth Affairs,
Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, etc. The main interventions are School health
programme. Health Education, Nutrition, income generation and other schemes. This
project will aim to strengthen the implementation of all these schemes. A sub committee
will be formed consisting of one member from each of these departments and with a
rotating he'ad. The sub-committee will be responsible to the project to implement the
various schemes which will have a positive impact on the health of adolescent youth.

Health &Family Welfare
Under the RCH Programme adolescent girls are being provided Iron supplements (to
combat Anaemia > 60%) and also deworming once a year (Albendazole 400 mg) to

Under the IPP VIII (India Population Project urban) and IPP IX (rural) Health
promotion is provided to adolescent girls. The training covers the changes during
adolescence, nutrition, family planning and sex education, personal hygiene,
environmental sanitation and school health. It encourages enrollment in schools and
also targets school dropouts. These activities are organised through SHE (Social Health
and Environment) clubs. The SHE clubs (covering 5000 population) in urban areas also
provide vocational training like in radio repair, electrical and electronic work, and
tailoring.
The GOK has recently launched a pilot project in a few selected districts of supplying
sanitary pads for rural girls/women at subsidized rates (Rs 20/- for 10 pads).

Under a Border Cluster Programme covering few pockets in the border districts like
Gulbarga, Bidar, Bijapur, etc. UNICEF also through the health infrastructure is

There are no specific schemes addressed to adolescent boys at present by the health
department, except for health promotion and school health program organised with the
education department.

Education
The education department focuses on improving health through education of girls.
It provides free education for all girls’ upto PUC in all government schools, along with
free uniform and books. It also has schemes to reach the school dropouts.

Under the World Bank DPEP (District Primary Education Programme) the backward
districts of the State have been covered to provide better education facilities to children
in primary schools (half the state covered).
The non-DPEP districts have also been recently covered under the Janashala scheme.
Under the School health programme all school children are medically examined once
in four years i.e in Std I, Std IV and Std VII. They are also given DT or TT
immunization.. These are done with the close cooperation of the Health department. •

Schemes to include life skill education, sex education and fortify the existing health
education/promotion activities are also being planned.

Women &Child Development
The WCD department has many programme targeting adolescent girls.

Under a scheme called Jagruti covering 15-18 years old girls in school the adolescents
are taught about health, nutrition, family planning, family/home making (home
science), vocational support, preparation for parenthood, and more about family life
skills. Each girl is given a first aid kit to take home and if she completes her education
upto VII Std is given a cycle and a NSS certificate of Rs 1000/-.
Under Vikasini girls above 18 years (<Rs 10000/- annual family income) are given
loans of Rs 10000/- with 25% subsidy (Rs 5000/- only can be spent on infrastructure
and the remaining used for rotation).

Child Labour Rehabilitation covers children under 14 years of age and the Deputy
Commissioner of Districts have been asked to strictly implement the same.
Rural girl child attendance scholarship provides Rs 25/-pm from Std V to VII and Rs
50/-pm from Std VIII to X as an incentive to the parents (<Rs 10000/-annual income)
to send their girl child to school. The child must get 40% marks to continue her

Rural Development & Panchayatiraj
Since more than one-third of the panchayat members are women, they have a
major role to play in the health of adolescent girls. They will be trained / sensitised on
adolescent health issues during the project period in a phased manner.

Role of NGOs
Since the government does not have the capacity to implement most of the above
mentioned schemes and neither has given adequate publicity for the same, the quantum of
beneficiaries has been abysmally low. The NGOs could play a proactive role in making
the beneficiaries aware of these various schemes and to bridge the gap between the
people and the government. Many NGOs are actively involved in providing specific
health interventions to the adolescent youth in rural and urban areas.

A Proposal for strengthening
the

Public Health Institute, Bangalore

Public Health Institute is an important arm of State Healtli Servmes.

Any Healtli problem affecting the community is the business of Public Health

Institute. Hence it is necessary that the Institute should develop skills U gather Health

intelligence, forewarn epidemics, diagnose diseases, find source of infection, suggest
methods to prevent the spread of the disease.

■To achieve these aims the Public Healtli Institute should have following three
wings.

1. Department of Epidemiological studies.
2. Diagnostic Laboratory and
3. A Surveillance set up
Department of Epidemiological studies: At present there is no meh wing under

Health Services. Whenever there is an outbreak of an epidemic an official of the rank
of Deputy Director / Joint Director is deputed to the area to make a study which is

hardly useful in containment of the disease in real terms. This is main}} due to the fact
that Epidemiological investigative skill can be developed only after a few years of

constant work in the field. The work has to be backed up by clinical studies by a

person who is preferably qualified in tropical diseases and by laborator, investigations.

Recommendations:- The Epidemiological Training Institute, Mindya (which is

defunct now) may be attached to Public Health Institute.

Diagnostic Laboratory: It should have facility to analyse Biological samples

and also non-biological samples like food, water and chemicals.
•’-*w

Under the NSPCD programme of Central Government a Regional lab for

communicable diseases is being established at PHI., during the curren year. Proposal
i
has already been submitted to establish a leptospira and Brucella lab and also Viral
diagnostic laboratory at PHI under this programme^
Ann I AdmtRept_Kmt

Constitution of Rapid Response Team: at Public Health Institute, a RRT will

have to be constituted for Rapid deployment to epidemic affected areas.

A field lab will have to be developed to assist the Rapid Response Team.
Personnel required:

A. Technician
B. Epidemiologist
C. Entomologist
D. Clinician
E. Group ‘D’

Laboratory kits for rapid diagnosis of the diseases will have to be made

available to the field lab.

A diesel vehicle with the sufficient space to carry the personnel and also act as
the laboratory will have to be provided.

The field lab should be equipped with the rapid diagnostic kits, florescent

microscope sample collection and transportation kits.

The Institute should constitute as rapid response team as envisaged by the
NICD, Delhi at its earliest.

Further, mechanisms for rapid control of vector population, rapid water
purification facility etc., should be available for rapid deployment to the sites of

epidemics. Such facilities should be developed and established for deployment, at

Public Health Institute.

Posting of Microbiologist to this Institute. The Health laboratory is another

name for Microbiology laboratory. There are two posts of Bacteriologists in this

institute and both of them are vacant. The work of the institute is hamstrung by the
absence of microbiologists. It is requested that two microbiologists be posted

immediately to this institute. There.is an urgent need for another two microbiologists
with sufficient experience in leptospira, Brucella, Viral Diagnostic procedures. These

two Microbiologists can be hired on contract basis immediately.

HUMAN LACTATION - SOME FACTS.

Asst.Prof. of Peadiatrics, Bangalore Medical College, B,lore-2
City Co-ordinator, Breastfeeding Promotion network of India
Phone:-6693173

A Landmark resolution recommending that infant be “ Exclusively
breastfed for 6 months” was passed by the full assembly at the 54 th
world assembly last May(WHA-54.2)
Exclusive breastfeeding is defined by WHO as no other food or
drink, not even water, except breast milk for 6 months of life, but
allows the infants to receive drops & syrups(vitamins, minerals &
medicines).
The resolution settles a seven years controversy over at least two
aspects of the baby food issue- the optimal duration for exclusive
breastfeeding and the marketing of complementary foods for infants.
It provides more clarity on the scope of the code: a breast milk
substitute is any food marketed for use before the age of six months,
ie. all milk, including infant formula, cereals, juices & teas
recommended for an earlier age may not be promoted.
The resolution recommends the introduction of safe and
appropriate complementary foods with continued breastfeeding from
6 months to 2 years of age or beyond. This means that, while
complementary foods may be promoted for after 6 months, the liquid
part of the child’s diet should still be breast milk. Any replacement is
a breast milk substitute ie. follow on formulas are substitutes and
may not be promoted.

20th national nutrition week
1-7 SEPTEMBER ?001
THEME : BREAK THE CYCLE GF MALNUTRITION AND IMPROVE
WOMEN'S HEALTH
One of the major problem that India is facing today is the problem of
matnutrition. The latest National Family Health Survey 2 (1998-99) reveals that onequarter of children in our country are born with low birth weight, half the children
presently suffer from protein energy malnutrition, one-third of adults suffer from
chronic energy deficiency and three quarters of the population suffer from various
nutritional and micronutrient deficiencies. India has a high infant mortality rate of 67
per thousand live births and an extremely high maternal mortality rate of 437 per
100,000 births.
Women and children are the worst sufferers of the ravtiges of various forms of
malnutrition because of their increased nutritional needs and low social power.
Various achievements in other sectors like agricultural production, food sufficiency
and industrial capabilities do not seem to have influenced the nutritional status of
these vulnerable groups. Low literacy levels, lack of awareness about nutrition and
health, and poverty contribute to this dismal situation.
Nutiition ot women throughout their life cycle is not only important for their
own health but determines the nutrition and health of the future generations also. A
u-m.ik' ini.mt born with low birth weight, that is birth weight less than 2.5kg, is
already malnourished and hence starts life with a disadvantage. Intrauterine growth
retardation (IUGR) during pregnancy is the main cause of low birth weight, and
maternal malnutrition and nutritional anaemia during pregnancy is the major
determinant of the IUGR. Gender discrimination within home is often manifested in
uni'qtial access to food and inferior quality of food provided to girl children as
companxJ to male children in the family throughout the childhood.
The effects of years of neglect become visible during adolescence. A girl, therefore,
generally grows into a malnourished adolescent girl.

For various socio-economic and cultural reasons, girls are' married early,
invariably in their teens. The NFHS 2 (1998-99) reveals that the median age of girls
at marriage in India is 16 years and 61% of all women were married before the age
of 18 years. Thus, a large percentage of adolescent girls are forced to enter into
reproductive life even before they are adults themselves. Early pregnancy further
aggravates both under-nutrition and anaemia and results in adverse outcome of
pregnancy including a low birth weight baby. Under-nutrition and anaemia among
pregnant women and adolescent pregnancies are the main contributory factors for
low birth weight babies. A low birth weight baby girl will be subjected to similar

conditions and attitudes and will repeat this cycle, thus making the problem of
malnutrition an inter-generational cycle.

Thus, for preventing the low birth weight and breaking the inter-generational
cycle of malnutrition it is important to ensure nutrition and care of women
throughout their life cycle. Ensure nutrition, health and care of the girl child right
from birth through adolescence and adulthood by adopting the following measures:


Give the girl and the boy child equal nutrition.



Educate the girl child as much as possible.

'□

Give her adequate nutrition during adolescence as this is the second and last
growth spurt in her life.



Give her basic knowledge of food, nutrition and health to enable her to take care
of herself.



Do not mam/ her before 19 years and give her family life education.



First pregnancy should be after the age of 21 years.



Provide good nutrition, health care and family support during pregnancy and
lactation.



Encourage women to breastfeed immediately after birth so as to feed ''colostrum"
to the new born and to adopt proper infant feeding practices.



Reduce the workload of women by sharing the manual and household work and
adopting appropriate rural technology for making her work easier so as to
improve her nutrition and health.

Some nutritional guidelines for ensuring care of the low birth weight baby,
infant's nutrition through appiopriate feeding practices, nutrition of adolescent girls,
pregnant and 'actating mothers are annexed.

SOME NUTRITION GUIDELINES

Care of Low Birth Weight Baby

f'.-.v .01-11 baby with less than 2.5 kg weigh! is a low birth weight baby
w birth weight makes the child start lite with disadvantage as the child
.:, Trendy malnourished and requires extra care. Mothers milk is the only
food a low birth weight baby should be given
V In rural areas where the facility of the incubators may not be available,
mothers should be advised to keep the low birth weight baby close to the
chest, under a woolen garment in winter. This helps the baby in two
wavs, (i) the child gets warmth of the mother’s body and (ii) the baby can
suck the milk as and when he likes. In other words, he may not be strong
enough to suck the milk like a normal baby continuously for 10-15
mintties and may need to suck more often for shorter duration.
w birth weight baby should be given breast milk and nothing else for
first six months. Any other food, if introduced during early stages,
max cause infection in an already under weight child and may prove to be

Pre-lacteal feeds arc harmful and should be discouraged
Skin to skin contact between mother and child immediately after the

INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD NUTRITION
Infant Feeding: Breastfeeding arid Complementary Feeding

Breastfeeding

I

••• A child requires both exclusive breastfeeding for first six months and
complementary feeding from six months’ of age with continued
breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond for good health.
••• Eariy initiation of breastfeeding, that is’within half an hour of birth in
normal deliveries (and 4-6 hours in caesarean deliveries) is important to
establish successful lactation and feeding of “colostrum” (mother’s first

milk) to the baby.
<• Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six moths of life is important to
prevent infections in early infancv and reduce infant mortality,
particularly in low socio-economic strata.
<• Prolonged breastfeeding upto two years and beyond provides all the
benefits of the mother’s milk to the child like high quality protein, vitamin
A mid anti-infective properties.
World Health Assembly 2001 has passed a resolution adv eating
exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life for all segments of the
population. Complementary feeding with home based foods introduced from
6 months of age alongwith continued breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond
has also been recommended.

Complementary Feeding
Complementary feeding is extremely essential from six moths of age to
meet the growing needs of the growing baby.
Roasted Hour of any cereal mixed with boiled water .and sugar should be
the first complementary food for the child and should be started on the
day the child becomes six months old. An ‘Annaprashan’ ceremony is an
Indian tradition. 'Annaprashan Abhiyaan for promoting complementary
feeding should be taken at anganwadi level and in the community.
Family food without spices can be mixed and made into semi-solid
consistency suitable for the child. For instance, half a.roti soaked in half
katori of unspiced dal when mixed thoroughly, can serve the purpose of
khicheri for the young child, which is a nutritious food for the baby.
<• Leafy vegetables are important for the child as they provide iron, beta
carotene (vitamin A), folic acids besides other nutrients. Boiled and
mashed leafy vegetables should be given to the child atleast for 3-5 days
in a week.
Seasonal fruits like banana, papaya, mango should be mashed and fed to
the child.

••• Roasted cereal and pulse mix like satin can be prepared and stored for a
month and fed to the child by reconstituting with boiled water or milk
whenever required.
A tea spoon of oil and sugar must be added to the food of the child so as
to make the food energy dense as child can not consume bulky foods but
requires more energy per unit of body weight.
••• Mixed foods alongwith breast-feeding should be continued upto two
years.
Ensuring adequate and frequent complementary feeding of infants will help
prevent onset of malnutrition during the period 6 months to 2 years.

Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP)
❖ Weighing the child regularly and plotting the weight on the health card is
an important tool to monitor the growth of the baby
Hygiene

v Hygiene in preparation of foods for the baby and in feeding is extremely
important to prevent infections.
F<• i'ding During Illness

v Continue feeding during illness as child requires more nutrition to make
up for the loss of nutrients during infections

Include green leafy vegetables in daily diet right from the beginning as all
foliage provide “folic acid” much needed during early months.
Consume one seasonal fruit daily
Milk, curd, butter milk, egg, meat, fish are helpful
Iodised salt should be consumed as pregnant women requires sufficient
iodine for brain development of the child in the womb
Take plenty of fluids/water
Take small and frequent meals

Heavy work should be avoided throughout the pregnancy

Visit to Anganwadi Centres of 1CDS
near Hanur of Kollegal Taluk.

The Anganwadi centre of Chamaraj Nagar District in Kollegal was visited on the 26th of March.
The main purpose was to observe the supplementary feeding programme in operation at the
Anganwadi the quantity served and the ability of the children to consume the served portion, as
well as the issues related to the preparation of the food. I am thankful to Dr.Sr.Aquinas and
Sr.Anice who welcomed us and made arrangements for me to visit the Centre during the
operation of the feeding programme. The Holy Cross Comprehensive Rural Health Project covers
this village which was visited, and they have women's groups, Self-help Groups and the women
trained under Women and Health Project.
The Village visited was K.Gundapura. This village has two Anganwadi centres and both the
centres were visited by me one at the time of the preparation of the food and serving of the same
to the children present. The other centre was visited to discuss with the worker her routine and
the support services available..This village comes under Basappana Dotti Panchyat.

Though Sr.Anice and self reached the village at 10 30,giving time for the centre to start the
activities, the teacher had not turned up,but few of the children were there with vessels in their
hand clutched closely, to take the cooked food home.The children were moving and running and
the helper Parvathi was not able to manage or even start the programme with them, utilising the
time we enquired about the food that was cooked by the helper and the supply made to the centre.
In the meanwhile Smt Suguna arrived and she had some personal problems to reach on time from
about 3-4- km away. The information gathered from the teacher are as under.

The Food Supply:

The Centre is supplied with Bags of Poorvaka Ahara (Energy Food)
and Rice, The ready mix ahahra and the rice are to be served alternatively.
The lable on the bag reads that this was designed by CFTR1 and the
composition of the Poorvaka Ahara is: Wheat, Groundnut cake ,Soy
Powder, Bengal gram dhall, Jaggery, with mineral mix and salt added. The
ratio with which these were mixed was not shown on the bag.This had
been produced by Agro-Kendra
The nutrition Factor
100 g of this Ahara has 12-14 g Protein
and 350-380 Cal.

Rice is also supplied along with Palmolein Chillies Mustard salt.

The fuel supply was supposed to be the responsibility of the Panchayat
but this is not being met by the Panchayat.
Suit Suguna informed as that for some time she personally paid for the fuel and now
along with the ration 2 1/2 maunds of fuel is being supplied by the CDPO. Whether this
is the latest policy and not pursuade the Panchayat to take up the responsibility is not
clear

This monthly ration had been fixed based on the number to be fed.

-3The shortage is not felt by the Worker as not all children attend the class every day and they can
easily adjust l.The design is to feed the children in the class and make them take the cooked food
for the sibling and another quantity if the mothers included. Mothers do not come to the centre

as they cannot and the children do take the food and some time the helper goes to the door
step and provides.

The actual observation of the children : Amongst the 20 and odd atleast 12 of them were
between 1-3 yrs and very few were the 3-6 yrs.Evidentally the mothers sent them to collect
the food. 1 was there when the rice bhath (rice chithra anna) was being prepared, rice
cooked and seasoned. Office had supplied new plates and glasses for the children to eat Yet
the children were clinging on to their vessel and eagerly waiting for the food to be served in the
vessel.The serving portion appeared to me as 40g of raw rice only.Even this portion was too
much for the children of 1-2 yrs. Children were advised to start eating after the serving and they
were pecking at the food perhaps keen in taking the food home The teacher said that after serving
she would concentrate on record maintenance and children would ea by themselves. Obviously
she does not find it necessary to observe them eating and the quantity they can consume. It is
the helper who gives the additional serving
The helper had prepared , according to her, 4 kg of rice for that particular day.

I requested the helper to prepare the laddu which she normally prepares with Energy food of the
quantity of 40 g (weighed from the store near by) The resultant product was in the size of cricket
ball. The taste was of mild sweet. The Workers informed that the mothers do not eat the energy
food and give it to the children when ever the child wanted at home. The mothers thought that
they could well if the centre supplied uncooked flour for them to make rotis, almost demanding
the supply of flour for the week. It is also doubtful whether the mothers do consume the rice or
again give it the children.

Suguna had maintained the records of supp;ly and it was upto 23rd of March.the following two
days were holidays. While we were observing the children we wanted her to teach and it was the
normal pattern of saying some rhymes and the children repeating.

Growth Charts of the children

A thick booklet had been supplied to the centre as per the
pattern ! doubt whether the purpose of the growth chart
had been explained to Anganwadi worker or not.lt
appeared like routine plotting of the reading. This centre
has no weighin scale but takes from the other one, which
is understandable.She first notes down the reading on a
notebook every month along with attendance. When time
permits she plotson the chart.She had no time to look at
the growth trend of the children. But this is done regularly
every month
I was aurprised to see the pencil marking on the chart. When I enquired the reason she said that
she was asked to do so so that these recording could be erased and make a clean chart for the new
entrant in the class. When I checked with the weight of the child and the child that was present
it was found that the child was a healthy child to start but constantly had been on the grade II
status. Suguna could not answer our question on as why the child lost the weight. She could only

-4-

say that the child was sick but now she was eating.. The growth Chart had no meaning for the
Anganwadi worker, as it really takes a lot of time and effort to weigh all the childrne with only
the helper to assist. The Children appeared to be anaemic and stunted growth could be seen in
some of the children. I could not stay there to see the quantity that the worker would be
distributing to the mothers, as it would mean spending another hour or two with the worker,
as mothers do not come to the centre.
There are many related issues to be discussed and this will be done after the report on the second
centre. In the meanwhile we met few of the women of the sangha and the expectant mother.

This discussion was too find out as to why the mothers rejected the Ahahar Mix. According to
the women the laddu is prepared with cold water and they would rather have the atta to be given
to prepare their own roti. I donot give much weightage to their remark as there would always
some complain or other but still whether this mix is suitable for the adults is to be questioned.
The name itself sugggests that it is weaning diet. Mothers keep their share and give it to the
children when ever they are hungry.This also means that the children do not get any whole some
food at home. Are we not defeating the purpose of feeding at the Institution ?
THE SECOND ANGANWADI CENTRE in the same village. Actually this is the original centre
and the first visited was started later, This centre is equipped with weighing scale and the teacher
is much more experienced.

The attendance at the centre was not full as the day was after Ugadi.The children were very
cheerful and Nagalakshmi has good relationship with them Apart from the ration amout that the
centre gets it was a news to us that the PHC at Ramapura supplies the iron tabs to be given to
the children.The strip contained Folic acid and ferrous sulphate and the Vitamin A is in the form
of liquid and concentrated. The teacher regularly gives these to the children before the food is
served. I requested the teacher to weigh a child to see the calibrations and the method of
weighing.She has n hook to hang but some how manages., the children were fairly healthy
Nagalakshmi expressed full cooperation with the Healthe department.She is an expereinced
teacher and is confident about her work. When we returned to the first centre to observe the
children being served, Sr.Anice asked about the medicine supply.Then the teacher pulledout the
carton from the store. Obviously this is not being utilised by the teacher ..
There are many question that came as a result of this visit and these need to be discussed
carefully.The intention of the Government is quite obvious but lack of supervision and entire
dependence on the teacher need todiscussed.

Addressing Adolescent Malnutrition to Improve Women’s Nutrition

Dr Farhat Saiyed, UNICEF, Hyderabad.

Adolescents form the largest and an important segment of our society,
with one-fifth of them constituting the total population. As per WHO
(1986), defines adolescence as the period of transition from childhood to
adulthood, in the age range of 10-19 years. Thus, it is the largest ever
generation in human history. Globally, they account for one-fifth of the
population and, in India, 21% of the total population comprises of
adolescence. (National Youth Policy, 2000).
is
Thiswise the period when second and the last growth spurt occurs in an
individual and therefore, their nutritional and health needs in particular
cannot be ignored. There is now data available, which shows that the state
of adolescent boys is equally vulnerable as the adolescent girls, from
nutrition, stand point. However, girls are at a greater nutritional risk due
to the added demand of reproduction. For a girl, especially from poorer
segments, low socio-economic status of the families compounds the
problem of under nutrition, with consequent effect on growth. In addition,
under nutrition reduces the reproductive, physical and mental capacities
of girls and continues to result in low birth weight and fetal loss. Thus, it
is quite evident that if India whishes to achieve the goals of Health for All
and adequate Nutrition for All, it must attend to the problem of under­
nutrition among the adolescent girls. In this regard, the nutritional status
of a girl should be of a particular concern. The cycle appears simple but
the consequences are serious.

Nutritional status of a girl child will affect her own nutritional status
when adolescent and attains puberty. This in turn will influence the
nutritional status whenqs an adult woman of child bearing age. As she
enters into pregnancy and early childhood in this nutritionally deprived
condition, not onlyTier ability to perform the tasksa mother are affected/
but also the growth and development of the child are equally affected.
t
Thus^Tie girl child, whose growth is retarded in uterus and early years of
life, arrives to the stage of motherhood with poor nutritional status. And
the cycle continues. We must therefore, closely examine the outcome of
the intergenerational malnutrition cycle by understanding and analyzing
each of its components.

-2-

Food Intake: An important aspect of nutrition of adolescent girls is the
increased nutritional requirements during their growth spurt and also
during their reproductive age period, to account for the additional
function of child bearing and child rearing. Adequate nutrition during
adolescence implies adequacy of dietary intake and or body stores of both
macro as well as micronutrients. There is ample data to show that the
dietary intakes of nutrients of a majority of rural and underpriviledged
population of both sexes are below the desirable levels. However, women
and adolescent girls are much worse off than their male counter parts.
Thus-a girl continues to grow poorly with inadequate nutrient reserves.
The situation precipitates with the onset of menarche.

Menarche: Menarche is a physiological phenomenon, which marks the
onset of puberty. Menarche is generally delayed in girls from the poor
families and who are under nourished. In fact, this is Nature’s
compensation for growth-retardation suffered by these children during
their early childhood, because of under-nutrition. One important nutrition
consideration during menarche is in meeting the extra demand for iron
which, it imposes due to the loss of iron during the monthly cycle of
menstruation. When these demands are not adequately met it results in
iron deficiency anemia. With other nutrients also not being met, the
situation worsens to result in more serious future consequences.
Gender: It has been found that gender discrimination in intra-household
food allocation may limit the food intake of the adolescent girls. Gender
discrimination needs to be examine^ with a broader perspective. Inrlndia,
gender differences are mostly unfavorable to girls, and are far more
glaring with respect to, literacy, school enrolment and dropout, and
opportunities for vocational training. This is not so in case of health and
nutrition care, morbidity and mortality. Sporadic reports do point out that,
parents seek institutional medical attention more frequently for their sons
than their daughters. Severe malnutrition is more prevalent in girls than in
boys. The data also concludes that mortality rates in females throughout
childhood and reproductive periods are higher than in males. .
Thus, an adolescent girls nutritional status is influenced by these factors
and the situation deteriorates with the social stigma of a large percentage
of girls are pushed into early marriage, after menarche in India. We must
remember that the growth process in undernourished girls continues for a
longer period of time than those from the affluent classes.

-3-

A girl of 15 - 16 years is still a child, she enters adulthood only after she
crosses 18 years and her growth is complete only between 18 and 20
years. Therefore, it is even more important that conception is delayed till
about 18-20 years. These issues of early marriage and followingly early
child bearing are of concern because they affect a young mother’s
nutritional status a great deal, either directly or in directly. They thus
influence her education and employment which in turn exerts
considerable influence on household nutrition. In Andhra Pradesh, the
age at marriage is lowest with mean age of 14.9 years (MICS,2000).
Thus, considerable proportion of adolescents is of greater obstructive
risk, due to malnutrition and chronic illness during there early years of
life. As of now, there is little evidence to suggest that the growth
retardation suffered in early childhood can be compensated for, in
adolescence. Also, there are known studies to determine whether
malnourished children with growth-retardation, respond to nutritional and
health interventions, during adolescence.

Anemia: Adolescent is yet another vulnerable period in human life cycle
when nutritional requirements increase due to the adolescent growth
spurt. Recent data from UNICEF, Hyderabad, shows that 72% of rural
and 80% of urban adolescents suffer from varying degrees of anemia.
Anemia in severe forms is associated with increased maternal deaths
especially during pregnancy. It is also associated with an increased risk of
premature delivery and a higher incidence of low birth weight infants.
These in trim are at a greater; risk of perinatal and neonatal morbidity and
mortality and substandard growth and development in later life. .
It is becoming increasingly evident that control of anemia in pregnancy
may be more easily achieved, if satisfactory iron status of the adolescent
girls can be ensured prior to marriage. It is evident that growing
adolescents are likely to give birth to smaller baby than mature .women of
the same nutritional status. This is probably due to the competition
between! growing adolescent andthe ( growing fetus for nutrients.
Adolescent pregnancies also confer q higher risk of maternal and infant
mortality and preterm-delivery.

This discussion clearly indicates that while most direct interventions aim
at reducing young child nutrition, they may fail to prevent in early years
when it predominantly occurs. Prevention should start much earlier. An
increasing understanding of the importance of women’s nutrition is
important- both for the quality of her life as well as those of her children.

Evaluation of effectiveness of good growth monitoring in south
Indian villages
Sabu M George, Michael C Latham, R Abel, N Ethlrajan, EA FrongilloJr

Summary
We conducted a community intervention trial in 12 villages in
Tamil Nadu, India to evaluate the benefits of growth moni­
toring. The villages were divided into 6 "growth-monitoring
package" of intervention villages (GMP) and 6 "non-growthmonitoring package" of intervention villages (NGM). A func­
tioning primary health care system was in place in all 12
villages. One village nutrition worker in each of the 12 villages
implemented a set of interventions including health and
nutritional education. About 550 children under the age of 60
months were studied over 4 years in GMP villages and a similar
number of children in NGM villages. The interventions were
identical in the two sets of villages except for the use of growth
charts in education in the 6 GMP villages. The nutrition worker
In the NGM villages had the same contact time as in the GMP
villages but advisdd mothers without the benefit of growth
charts. The research team, independently of the nutrition
worker, did anthropometric studies on children in all villages
every 4 to 5 months. Comparisons were done by calculating
monthly gains in stature, and weight, and the significance of
differences observed was adjusted for age and sex. After 30
months of interventions, similar improvements in growth were
seen in GMP and NGM children. The interventions seemed to
have improved the nutritional status of young children in both
groups of villages. In view of the lack of additional benefit from
growth monitoring over other educational interventions, we
question Its use as part of child survival programmes in India.

Introduction
The use of growth charts in developing countries was
started by Morley about 35 years ago in Ilesha, Nigeria.1
Morley now admits that the charts were useful for health
workers in the clinic but that mothers failed to understand
the growth curve.2 The Ilesha chart, and what later became
known as growth monitoring and promotion, was taken up
by others,3 and became part of UNICEF’s growth moni-

toring, oral rehydration, breast feeding, and immunisation
(GOBI) strategy.4 Growth monitoring was advocated as an
effective, simple, and inexpensive way to prevent most
child malnutrition, but this view has recently been ques­
tioned because of the lack of evidence that growth charts are
a better educational tool than health and nutritional
education without growth charts.5,6 Our research was
influenced by this concern. We studied the additional
benefit of growth monitoring (regular monthly weighing
and use of growth charts) conducted under the best possible
conditions. 12 villages were divided into 6 “growth­
monitoring package” of interventions (GMP) villages and 6
“non-growth-monitoring package” of interventions
(NGM) villages. NGM villages received the same interven­
tions as did GMP villages except for growth monitoring, ie,
education without growth charts.

Subjects and methods
This 4-year field study was conducted in the K V Kuppam block in
die state of Tamil Nadu, India. We describe here only the 12
intervention villages, but we also obtained limited data from 4
comparison villages where no interventions were introduced. The
complete study design is described elsewhere.7 For several years,
the Rural Unit for Health and Social Affairs (RUHSA) of the
Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, has provided
primary health care in this block through rural clinics in each of the
18 peripheral service units. The 12 study villages were non­
adjoining, poor agricultural communities that were distributed
among 10 peripheral service units. Each had a population of about
13 000. Growth monitoring had not been conducted in the villages
before. Our data showed that 70% of families lived in mud huts
with one or two rooms, about 99-5% defaccated in fields, and fewer
than 0-5% used kerosene or petroleum gas as the primary cooking
fuel (the rest used bio-mass).
Extensive field work was done over 9 months from September,
1986. From the data collected, 6 pairs of villages were formed so
that villages within each pair were similar with respect to caste
composition, access to a main road, cropping practices, and
distance from rural clinics. Some villages were served by more than
one clinic. GMP or NGM treatment was randomly allocated
within each of the 6 pairs so that villages served by a given clinic
received the same intervention. This ensured the independence of
the two treatments. One mother from each village was selected as
the village nutrition worker after consultation with community and
local primary health care workers. The nutrition worker was
responsible for the educational interventions. There were two
supervisors, one for GMP and one for NGM villages. We do not
believe that this was a source of bias because the performance of the
supervisors was similar. Preschool children in the 12 study villages
were eligible for inclusion and all children bom after initiation of
the interventions were offered enrolment in the study? Children
were dropped from the study at 60 months of age. Children with
severe congenital abnormalities (identified by a paediatric surgeon
who examined all children in the last year) were excluded from the

data analysis? This exclusion did not affect the outcomes of our
study.
Data, including anthropometric measurements, were obtained
by trained field workers, not by the nutrition worker responsible
for the interventions.’ Baseline data are presented from interviews
with 1115 mothers who had 1634 preschool children bom between
April, 1982, and May, 1988. Children were weighed in all the
villages in April, 1987, to ascertain the willingness of the
communities to accept weighing. Baseline and final
anthropometric measurements were done in July, 1987, and
December, 1989, and intermediate anthropometric assessments
were done every 4 to 5 months. The take-up rate was about 90%.
Information on socioeconomic status was collected in August,
1989.
The following interventions were provided to both GMP and
NGM groups:
o The nutrition worker visited homes twice a month to provide
education on health and nutrition. Educational films were shown in
the villages.
o Immunisations were provided in the village, antenatal ser­
vices at the rural clinic, and family planning services, at the rural
hospital.
• Curative care was provided at weekly rural clinics. If needed,
patients were referred to the RUHSA rural hospital or to the
reaching hospital in Vellore.
• Children aged between 1 and 5 years were dewormed with
albendazole or pyrantel pamoate about every 4 months.
• Vegetable and fruit seeds and saplings were distributed to
home gardens.
In GMP villages, growth monitoring was done by the nutrition
worker every month. Growth charts were used to educate mothers.
Growth monitoring was done in the child’s home to ensure high
take-up rates and the best possible understanding of the growth
charts by mothers. We have described elsewhere7 that growth
monitoring was successfully implemented in GMP villages, and
resulted in correct use of growth charts, good understanding by
mothers, and improved growth of children. Nutrition workers
visited the households the same number of times and spent the
same amount of time with mothers in NGM and GMP villages.
The content of educational messages in both groups was identical
but it was imparted to mothers in NGM villages without thc-use of
growth charts. The anthropometric assessments for research
purposes were done by an independent set of workers. Neither the
nutrition worker nor mothers in NGM villages were informed how
their children were growing with respect to weight.
The nutrition workers had 2 months of training from RUHSA
health educators. The interventions were started in July, 1987.
However, growth monitoring was not started when planned
because many community members were unwilling to allow their
children to be weighed. From July, 1987, to January, 1988, each
nutrition worker visited homes and weighed children with the
supervisor. These visits were used to motivate mothers to

appreciate the significance of weighing. During this interim period
the nutrition worker imparted education without using the growth
charts in GMP villages. In January, 1988, the supervisor distri­
buted growth charts to all mothers in GMP villages. Over 50% of
the charts had at least four weights already plotted and so most
mothers could see the growth of their child from the first month of
growth monitoring in February, 1988.7
Statistical analyses were done with SYSTAT (SYSTAT Inc,
Evanston, Illinois, USA) and SAS (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, North
Carolina, USA). Changes in nutritional status were analysed by
dividing the study children into three age groups: 3 to 23 months,
24 to 44 months, and 45 to 59 months, according to the age of the
child at the time of each assessment. These age groups were used
because the World Health Organization growth standards have a
discontinuity at 24 months,9 and the three age groups are
characterised by different growth rates. Infants under 3 months of
age were excluded because some were temporarily absent and
because prenatal factors have a major influence on their growth.
Comparisons were done by calculating monthly gains in stature
and weight at consecutive intervals. The significance of differences
in changes observed per month between the two treatment groups
was calculated after adjustment for age and sex. The above analyses
were done on the assumption that the child and the village each
contributed to random variation. These analyses were done with
the mixed-model procedure in SAS, which estimated the variances
and adjusted for the village effects.’ The inter-village variances
amounted to only 8% or less of the total variances. This sample size
of younger children is adequate to detect a mean difference of 22 g
per month in weight gain between the two treatment groups and of
0-8 mm per month in length gain. This study has the potential,
therefore, to detect differences that are of public health signifi­
cance.

Results
The GMP and NGM villages were similar with respect to
caste, percent of nuclear families, mean birth order of the
study child, and mean number of preschool children per
mother (table 1). The study families in the two groups were
also similar with regard to consanguinity of the parents and
landlessness. The use of pre-existing services such as
antenatal care and childhood immunisation was 5-8%
higher in NGM villages, but use of family planning services
was higher in GMP villages.8 The duration of breast

feeding was longer and weaning was later in GMP villages.
GMP villages also used more traditional weaning foods and
less infant formula than NGM villages. The age distribu­
tion of children measured at baseline and at the final
examination was similar (ub>; 2). The groups of children
were similar with respect to mean weight for stature, but the
mean suture for age and weight for age measurements were
lower in GMP villages.’ Consistent seasonal patterns in
growth’(attained suture and weight) in GMP and NGM
villages indicate the similarity of the two groups of villages
in terms ofresponse to seasons (figtires 1 and 2). The weight
gains were twice as large in the good growing season (last
interval of the year) compared with the poor growing season
(second interval of the year, figure 3).

months

Figures 1 and 2 show the attained weights and sutures of
children aged between 3 and 23 months measured at regular
intervals during the intervention. These figures indicate
that there were similar improvements in both treatment
groups over 30 months of intervention, and that improve­
ments in GMP villages started even before growth moni­
toring. Figure 3 shows the relation between monthly weight
gain and the duration of intervention. What is nouble are
the improvements in weight gain (figure 3), weight for age
Z-scores (figure 1), and suture for age Z-scores (figure 2) in
younger children of both GMP and NGM groups in the
period after the baseline examination and introduction of
interventions in July, 1987. The weight gain for younger
children in GMP villages was marginally greater than in
NGM villages between April, and July, 1987, before the
initiation of other non-growth-monitoring interventions.
However, the weight gain of young children in GMP
villages in the first interval after the initiation of non­
growth-monitoring interventions was significantly less
than in NGM villages. The differences.in weight gain
between the two groups for other intervals were not
significant (p > 0-05, figure 4). The monthly gain in stature
showed similar patterns (uble 3).
Improvements in nutritional sutus of younger children
occurred in all 12 intervention villages. There were
improvements in children of both caste groups, especially
in Harijan children. In GMP villages the improvements in
mean weight for age Z-scores of younger children from
baseline to the final assessment were from - 2-20 to -1-82
in Harijans and -2-27 to -1;97 in other castes, and in
NGM villages were from -2-24 to — l-88 and —1-98 to
- 1-78, respectively. Similar changes were also observed in
suture for age Z-scores. In older children aged between 24
and 59 months the patterns of attained weights and suture,
and of monthly weight and suture gains, were similar in
both groups of villages but, as expected, gains were much
smaller than in younger children.7

The observation that the gains in stature between
December, 1987, and April, 1988, in GMP villages were
significantly less than those in NGM villages, and the fact
that this followed the pattern of inadequate weight gains in
GMP villages for July to December, 1987, is consistent with
reports by others, which suggest that children need to put
on adequate weight before they gain much height.10 The
weight gains in the first interval after the initiation of
non-growth-monitoring interventions in July, 1987, were
significantly less in GMP villages than in NGM villages
because a substantial amount of the time of the nutrition
worker was spent convincing the families to accept weigh­
ing. The finding that there were improvements in GMP
villages even before the introduction of growth monitoring,
Vol 342 • August 7, 1993

and that the gains were similar in both groups after die
initiation of growth monitoring in GMP villages (figures 3
and 4) over the entire duration of interventions, suggests
that no additional benefit resulted from the growth­
monitoring component. The growth charts in our field
conditions did not seem to be a better educational tool than
education without charts. Doubts about the usefulness of
growth charts were raised in 1988 because of the marked
seasonal changes in the growth of older children in Nepal.11
Our data in young children support this observation. Even
with our optimal field conditions, the successful growth­
monitoring efforts could not overcome the marked seasonalimpact on growth. This finding challenges the usefulness of
growth charts to promote growth of children in areas where
seasonal changes may have a substantial impact.
Until recently the main criticism of growth monitoring
was the appropriateness of the technology.12 Our study is
the first to evaluate the effectiveness of growth monitoring
with GMP and NGM villages. Why did the growth charts,
which mothers understood and used appropriately, not lead
to even better growth than nutritional and health education
without weighing and charting? Growth monitoring is
conceptually a very simple and attractive idea. Further­
more, mothers’ perceptions of growth are inadequate.
Although it seems very plausible that sensitising mothers to
the faltering growth of their children (by looking at growth
patterns) could stimulate them to provide additional care,
child care is only one of the many responsibilities that a
mother has. There is also the assumption that mothers have
access to more resources (including time) and have more
decision-making powers to reallocate these limited re­
sources towards providing better child care than they
actually possess. Our experience is that almost all mothers
desire to provide better care but are overwhelmed by their
workload and are often discouraged by the apathy of other
family members towards the well-being of their children.
In these villages mothers felt helpless on many occasions
because of frequent verbal abuse and, not uncommonly,
physical violence, alcoholism, and/or promiscuity of their
husbands.13 Our experience suggests that growth moni­
toring can become an additional burden to an already
overwhelmed mother. Mothers do not seem to need such
visualisation to be persuaded to take necessary actions to
improve the growth in their children. The mother responds
to the worker’s suggestions and attempts to change her
practices when she is convinced that the worker does care
for her child. In our study area the mother gets additional
support from the worker to persuade the decision-making
members of her family to take action. The mother’s
improved self-esteem coupled with the confidence that she
can get support to provide better child care appeared to be
gained with or without the use of growth charts. These
improvements in self esteem of women seem to have
facilitated better growth in children belonging to the lowest
caste (Harijans) despite the higher socio-economic status of
families ofother castes. This appears to be due to the greater
autonomy Harijan women have compared with women of
other castes.14
In a centre-based nutritional programme the interaction
between mother and worker may be minimal and rather
impersonal with little or no participation from the mother.
In our study the entire community was involved because of
the home visits by workers. The practicality of a village
worker spending one hour per month with the mother of
every child in the home can be questioned. With our field
conditions, however, this seemed to be the least amount of
Vol 342 • August 7,1993

effort necessary to get the mothers and the community
really involved in growth monitoring.131'' Furthermore, the
effort of initiating growth monitoring in GMP villages
resulted in substantially lower weight or length gains in
younger children of GMP villages in intervals of the first
year (figure 3 and table 3).
Until now, claims of successful growth monitoring have
not separated benefits of the growth chart from benefits of
other interventions that have been implemented with
growth monitoring.17 Furthermore, the claims of successful
growth monitoring, as in the Tamil Nadu Integrated
Nutrition Program, have been based on anecdotal and
impressionistic evidence.16-18 Our study suggests that one of
the ways of achieving a greater sense of “community
ownership”*123456’ of government nutrition programmes is to
facilitate the transition from the “centre” to the home­
based approach. In many parts of India this home-based
promotion of the growth of children without growth charts
and monthly weighing will be more acceptable to the
community because cultural prejudice against weighing is
recognised. Home visits can also influence the decision
makers in the family to provide better child care.
The effectiveness of growth monitoring in other coun­
tries needs to be established. In other cultures where the
status of women may be better, where families have more
resources to take care of their children, where there is
greater community cohesiveness than in rural India, and
where there is a well-developed primary health care
infrastructure, growth monitoring may be effective.

Deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
John Black

The differential diagnosis between myocardial infarction
(MI) and pulmonary embolism (PE) is rarely discussed in
textbooks. My experience suggests that this is a serious
omission. PE should be considered, as well as MI, in any
patient with dyspnoea or atrial fibrillation of recent origin
for which there is no obvious cause.
In 1968, about 10 days after a transatlantic flight,
I experienced an aching pain in the left buttock and lumbar
region. 2 days later my left leg swelled up over a matter of
minutes, and the lumbar pain disappeared. I can find no
reference to lumbar pain as a premonitory symptom of
deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) but have since come across
another doctor with an identical history. The lumbar pain
may have been due to venous congestion from thrombosis
of a pelvic1 or lumbar vein, and this may have been relieved
when the venous return diminished, due to extension of the
thrombus into the femoral and great saphenous veins. After
initial treatment with heparin followed by warfarin the
swelling gradually subsided, leaving only some dilated
veins in the calf and round the internal malleolus.
Nothing further happened until 1987 when I noticed
mild exertional dyspnoea with a regular pulse. The same
night I was woken by a grossly irregular heart beat which
was confirmed as atrial fibrillation by a general practitioner
the next morning—and by an electrocardiogram when I was
seen in the afternoon by a cardiologist. The fibrillation was
intermittent, each attack lasting 2-3 hours. The provisional
diagnosis was paroxysmal atrial fibrillation due to an MI,
though the ECG showed no evidence of infarction. A
normal rhythm was rapidly restored by digoxin, and I
returned to London where I was seen by another cardio­
logist who also thought an MI to be the most likely
diagnosis. Both resting and exercise ECGs were norm,al, as
were a chest X-ray and an echocardiogram. There had been
no change in the veins in my left leg.
Over the next two weeks I maintained normal rhythm but
the dyspnoea varied unpredictably in severity. At its worst,
usually after mild exertion, I experienced a bursting pain in
the precordium. One morning, after running for a bus, I

suddenly felt cold and clammy. Unwisely I continued with
my journey, but on the way back I felt so ill that I
abandoned the bus and took a taxi home, where I
telephoned my wife at work and our general practitioner’s
surgery. When she heard that I had taken a taxi my wife
knew at once that something was seriously wrong. The
doctor I spoke to was not our usual one and needed to be
convinced that I was not suffering from influenza before he
agreed to visit me. By the time my wife and the doctor had
arrived I was feeling better, and my pulse and blood
pressure were normal. An appointment was made to see the
cardiologist and I was admitted to hospital. Chest X-rays,
ECGs, and a coronary angiogram were normal, but a
pulmonary arteriogram revealed occlusion of the upper
branch of the right pulmonary artery. After a short course of
heparin I was given warfarin for 6 months.
2 months after stopping the warfarin, I went on holiday
on an overnight flight, with very little leg room. A week
later a small area of venous thrombosis on the dorsum of my
left foot developed. On my return to London I noticed
frequent extrasystoles, and after a few days I once more had
mild dyspnoea on exertion. A ventilation-perfusion scan
revealed three areas of hypoperfusion in the right lung. A
recurrence of PE was diagnosed and I was admitted and
given heparin for a week and warfarin indefinitely.
Lumbar pain as a presenting symptom of DVT may be
more common than its absence from published work
suggests. Aeroplane journeys, especially overnight flights,
are a well-known risk factor for DVT and PE. For some
weeks before the first episode of PE I had been editing a
book while seated on a wooden slatted chair. This probably
initiated a venous thrombus which lodged in the pulmonary
artery. The initial diagnosis of MI was justified though it
could be debated whether ah infarct severe enough to cause
dyspnoea and atrial fibrillation would have failed to
produce any ECG abnormality up to 3 weeks later. Atrial
fibrillation, and less commonly, atrial flutter occur in
7-10% of cases of MI2 but in only 3% of episodes of PE3 and
in many textbooks the association of PE with arrhythmias is
not mentioned. The development of extrasystoles during
the second episode may well have been an indication of
strain on the myocardium since it is well recognised that
extrasystoles often precede atrial fibrillation. Although

Know these facts about breastfeeding

Ideally
Breastfeeding should co Initiated Immediately
after child birth (within half an hour).

BUT only 15.8% infants get breast-milk
within an hour of birth In our country.

This helps In establishing successful
lactation;
Enables feeding of 'colostrum' to the
baby, a concentrated source of vitamin A,
protein and antl-Infectlve constituents
that provides natural immunity to ths child; .
It benefits the mother also in several ways' ■’
Breast milk provides all the nutrients that a
baby ncods during tho first 6 months.

infant should bo breastfed exclusi vely for
first 6 months.

Any liquid or solid food othor than breast milk 7' .
given during this period causes diarrhoea
which may sometimes be fatal.

BUT only 19.4% infants ara exclusively
breast fed for first 6 months In India.

Any feed other titan breast milk suppresses lactation.
Infants should bo given homo baood complamsntary
feeds (dalla, khlcheri etc.) from 8 months of age
while continuing breastfeeding.

A growing infant's increasing requirements
can not be met by breast milk alono after 6
months.

\ '

I .

BUT only 49.4% infants aro given soma
complementary foods from 6 months of age In India.

Infant requires adequate and frequent
complementary feeding alongwith breastfeeding
for optimal growth and development.

Breestfasdlng should bo continued upto two yoara
of .r.ge and beyond.

Breastfeeding is the optimal way to feed an infant. It greatly/improves quality of life by pro­
viding unique nutritional, immunological, economic, ecological, psychological and child spac­
ing benefits. Breastfeeding also enhances maternal health.
Breastfeeding saves lives. Infant mortality continues to be very' high in India and artifi- •
cial feeding contributes to a major part of this. Malnutrition is rampant among infants
and this can be prevented to a significant extent by breastfeeding.
Il IV transmission ami infantfeeilinj;

Transmission via breastfeeding to uninfected infants born to women with HIV infection is
estimated to occur in I in 7 cases. The risk of III V transmission through breastfeeding is
highest among women who become infected whilst breastfeeding.
Mothers, health woikets and organisations such as Bl'NI ate faced with a dilemma concci ning
decisions about infant feeding. Given (he evidence regarding the risk of IIIV transmission
through breastmilk, it is \ ital for policies to be developed with regard to breastfeeding, by 11! V
positive mothers.

Recommendations
I. Priority should he given to policies and programmes, which aim to prevent women of
childbearing age and their partners from becoming infected with 1IIV in the first place. Ap­
propriate preventive measures should be taken to reduce mother to infant IIIV transmission.

2. The genera! principle “irrespective ofl II V infection rates, breastfeeding should continue
to be protected, promoted and supported" as enunciated by UNAIDS1 should be followed.
?. Women should be "empowered to make fully informed decisions"1 about infant, feeding
and supported in their decision.
I

• I. Voluntary anil confidential counselling and IIIV testing should be made available lor women
of childbearing age and their partners. l;or those women who arc aware of their ill V status,
inlormation should include the heiu-lits of bre.i.'.lfeeding, additional risk of transmission of
1IIV via breastmilk, risks and possible advantages and disadvantages associated with other
methods o( (ceding. I his should he done in a supportive environment, which minimize.'; any
possible discrimination or stigmatization.

1. Research Needs
Ci) There is an urgent need for more research on HIV transmission through breastfeeding, and
interventions that may permit breastfeeding to be available to the infants of HIV infected
women in Indian situation.

(b) Research should be funded and conducted in a transparent and independent manner by
those who do not have a commercial interest in the outcome,. I'itimicitil support for research
and information ofHIV anil infant feeding matters should not create conflicts of interest.

PARENTING
CARD IA
The first three years after the birth of the child are times of rapid growth and
development. The foundation for future health and intelligence are laid at this time.The
care given by the family at this time will determine whether the child will live a
successful life or not.
Even as a child needs food for the body to grow .food is needed for the child’s mind to
grow . For the small child this food is made up of.

Love and affection
Being Talked to
Play

Love and affection
A baby is the greatest gift a family can have. Bringing up the baby is both a joy and a
responsibility meant to be shared by father, mother, grandparents and other family
members living in the home. In return the infant will learn to love and respect all those
who took part in caring for the infant**
The birth of a baby is a community event and a source of happiness. Elders may have a
great deal of wisdom to impart in helping you care for your baby, (picture of a naming
ceremony).
Use a lot of laughter and praise in encouraging your baby to do the things you want. A
child who grows up with love will also be loving and will have a good opinion about
herself or himself. This positive self esteem will prove a valuable asset in meeting the
difficulties of future life.
When correction is needed never beat your child. A firm “no” will serve the purpose.

Play
Play is the natural inclination of every child. Children learn through play. Play helps the
child develop concentration, vision and hearing .touch, imagination, concepts, movement
and expression. Parenting is fun and joyful. Playing together is a good way to enjoy the
company of your child. The precious days of early childhood never come back. Use them

well.
Play must be supervised to ensure safety. What does a small child play with ?
Everyday items in the house can be used as toys. Expensive toys need not be bought.

Talking to your child
Why should you talk to your child?
A child learns to speak by hearing others speak to him or her, the more you talk to your
child the more the child will learn to talk.
Language helps the child to develop understanding and will later help in studying well.
As family members your efforts in talking to your child give the child this special
advantage ***
When can you start talking to your child ?

Soon after birth a child will find the sound of the mother or father’s voice very
comforting.
How do you speak to a new born baby ?
Talk very gently when the child is lying quietly with eyes open and smile at the child.
You can say pleasant words.which will not have meaning but which sound loving.***
Softly sing the songs traditional for babies and small children
Later when your child begins making sounds or saying words, praise your child so he/she
may say the words again.

CARD IB

Birth to three months
G
o Being held securely gives the child great comfort .The feel of the mothers skin when
given the first feed soon after birth helps in creating the first bond between mother
and child . *As other family members become involved by carrying, talking and
playing with the infant, the infant learns who his or her own people are and begins to
smile at them and recognize them .
o Develop a regular routine for your baby. Have meals, baths, naps and bedtime at
about the same time everyday. (Picture with a clock)
° Respond immediately to your baby’s cries. Crying is the only way a baby can tell you
something is wrong.
o Gentle rocking or walking with the baby will soothe the baby. Carry the baby around
with you .**
(Picture)
T
8 Talk very gently when the child is lying quietly with eyes open and smile at the
child. Say pleasant words which will not have meaning but which sound loving like
telling the child how special the child is.
o Softly sing songs.
• The infant will respond to the tone of the voice and by the second month will be
smiling back at you.
8 By the third month the child may say ooh and aah sounds*.
P
® Tie a small colourful object on top of the baby’s bed. It could be made of colourful
cloth, ribbons or paper or a bought toy You will often see the new bom gazing at the
object and if you move it the child will follow its movement.**
o Place a small rattle in the hand and the child will hold it and shake it from 3 months
onwards***

M
0 The infant at birth has spontaneous movements of both arms and legs.
° Place the infant on the stomach and show the child a toy, the infant will be able to lift
his head up.*** Hold the baby in your lap in a sitting position. At 3 months the head
is held steady when in a sitting position.

Recommendations from Consultation on:
Developing a Communication Strategy for ECC SGD for the Northern Region and
Consideration of a Home-Based Card
Consultation of NIPCCD and UNICEF
28-29,h Nov., 2000 Delhi

A meeting was held on 2S-29th of November, 2000 in Delhi with representatives of
5 states to define the role of communication in the ECC SGD framework. The
meeting vzas designed to sketch out a communication strategy, define the role of
a mother-held growth monitoring card in the process, evaluate whether it would
be useful or not, and develop plans for next steps.

Consensus items:
There should be some form of mother- or family-held card as tire core part of the
ECC SGD communication strategy. The card should define key elements of the
intervention. It will result in immediate feedback to being given to caregivers,
resulting in to use triple A in counseling them.
2. The format of the card can vary from state to state. However, each should meet
certain quality criteria, such as being field-tested and locally adapted, and should
be directed to all decision-makers.
3. Elements that should be added to the home-based growth card in use in several
states include the following: psychosocial care, feeding style, and care for girls and
women, plus sanitation/hygiene messages.
4. Growth monitoring and promotion and use of the card should be a part of the
regular work of the AWW and it should be positioned that way; it should not be seen
as a “new job” or additional burden for her1.
5. In order for this strategy to work, the supervisors and CDPOs need to be in
agreement (to be “on board.”), and advocacy efforts are needed.
6. The card has to be part of a larger communication strategy.
7. The card should be used as a support for communication and be a part of a normal
program, subject to programme monitoring from field to center and vice versa.
8. Training for the AWW is needed to strengthen the capacity of the AWW worker to
use the card. All functionaires need to be trained. The AWW cannot do it alone,
where needed, teams should regularly visit the villages to support these efforts
(within existing programmes).
9. States may decide whether or not to use the milestones, but all cards must contain
the Care for Development messages. States which choose not to use them in the
card may use them for materials for the AWW.
10. Implementation should be at least for one block. Cards should be given to all
children in the AWC, not just those receiving the supplement, as outreach of the
program is intended to be broader than just those with supplementary food.
Materials should be accessible for non-literate women. These issues will be dealt
with in pretesting.

1.

1 The home-based card will eventually replace the current growth chart (blue book) used by the AWW, the
Family Welfare immunization card, and the Antenatal Care card.

Recommendations for Actions:

1.

2.

3.
4.

5.

6.
7.

8.

NIPCCD will constitute a communication working group at NIPCCD HQ, including
other sectors and partners, including Family Welfare, DWCD, and UNICEF, World
Bank (add CARE since they have worked on cards in the past?). FEBRUARY 26"’ is
proposed as the meeting of the task force, to be called by NIPCCD.
NIPCCD will gather existing materials related to the use of a card that can be used
for developing communication materials, and will adapt these to the purpose of
supporting the card with information and training.
UNICEF/NIPCCD will support the setting up of communications working groups in
each state. States may develop resource centers and a state resource group.
NIPCCD/UNICEF will help organize 2 regional workshops or state workshops on the
communication strategy for ECC SGD.
NIPCCD/UNICEF will support the field testing of the card, as part of the
communication strategy, in 4 Hindi-speaking states (UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, and
MP) as well as Delhi. A protocol will be developed by NIPCCD with UNICEF input.
NIPCCD/UNICEF will support an evaluation study of the current Mamta and Dular
card strategy, in order to derive lessons learned.
NIPCCD/UNICEF to initiate the process for development of an ECC SGD card
prototype that can be adapted locally.
This effort must be done quickly; a timetable must be prepared for the first six
months of 2001 to complete the field testing. Field testing will be done in the three
stages: face validity, assessment of functioning in the field, and programme trial.

Components of a communication strategy:

°
o

o


«

o

Identification who one should communicate with - mother, parents in law, etc.
Information and materials that the AWW has that explains the card, with
specific recommendations for each milestone that are related to the care for
development recommendations.
Refresher training for the AWW, supervisor, and CDPO on how to use the card
and support materials.
Training in interpersonal communication for the AWW (as well as supervisors).
Advocacy for the importance of the Care for Development component: all have to
be convinced of its benefit and the risk of not using it.
Social mobilization strategies for increasing community involvement.
Folk plays, print, pamphlets, mass communication

Specific Recommendations on the format of the Card:
Many individuals, both at the conference and at other times have made (these
comments).
Page 1:

Title should be “family growth card” and include a picture of a father on the first
page.
2. Include sub-center/clinic/hospital address on card
3. State should have flexibility to incorporate local practices on this page.
4. This card should be a birth registration card and as such be launched by the
PM!!!
1.

Page 2: “regular check-up is essential during pregnancy”
1. Color code the boxes to indicate what it is that she should do - e.g., outline three
boxes for ANC check-ups to indicate that this is what she should do.
2. Indicate what normal blood pressure is, or at what level one should be concerned
3. For weight, indicate what the weight ought to be, and amount of weight gain per
month (1 kg per month)
4. Indicate when the TT injections should be done by color coding the box
5. Indicate how many iron tablets should be taken by color coding the boxes when she
should take them, and show the maximum number she should take (30 per month
for 3 months)
6. Add iodized salt intake to the chart (not clear how).
7. Instead of Place of Delivery, title this section Preparation for Delivery. Change the
items as follows:
List the five cleans in some way (show them all).
Triangle was not clear (family welfare)
Show some form of transport for safe delivery.
The heading over the picture with the purse should say ANM, not TBA.

Danger Signs:
Heading should say, “If you or anyone in your family sees these danger signs, rush
to the hospital”
Need a picture of Edema

Growth Chart Page:
1. Use colors to indicate grade 1, 2, 3, and 4 (or lines)
2. Question the value of the “record of illness: - would it be used? Could just have the
descriptions without the chart. Descriptions need more pictures, fewer words.
3. Instead of the risk factors listed under the “Special Care Is Needed” section, list key
newborn care practices. Some of these are:
» Weigh your child at birth.
» Keep the child warm.
° Begin breastfeeding within an hour of birth. (Show picture of good
attachment?)
= Do not bathe the child for the first 2 days.
» Protect the child from people who have coughs, colds, or are ill.
» Give no other foods or fluids except breastmilk.
4. For the milestones, the team in Bihar added color bars for each year, and the form
is much clearer. However, it becomes even more evident that there is a need for an
indicator that goes from 2 to 3.

5.
6.

Use only three dots instead of four (red, yellow and green) to indicate milestones.
Need a milestone that goes into the third year.

As children grow they need more food:
" Use bullet points instead of writing it out - too many words.
' In 6-9 month period, indicate need for consistency of purees.
= For micronutrient intake, in two places, indicate that the child needs green and
yellow vegetables. Perhaps here use the image or background of the Indian Flag as
a reminder?
*

The breastfeeding picture is still a bit troublesome.



The child from 6-9 months, and 9-12 months, is not shown being fed. Better to use
the picture of the child being fed for the earlier periods of time.
/

Playing and talking with the child helps her grow well
Change “her” to “the child”
A few of the Care for Development messages could be changed. The chart below
shows the relationship between the care recommendations and the indicators on the
other side. There is a pretty good correspondence except for some indicators, primarily
tire motor ones. With the card, one could make up a series of recommendations for
each indicator by turning to the care recommendation for that age group.
Pictures to change:
o Help your child to count - should have a series of pebbles, etc., to count.
» 6-12 months: child with pillow behind looks like he is in a sickbed - can you
have him sitting upright (common for 6-12 months)
» Add one more father in the pictures? Four mothers, the back of one father.

Care recommendations in italics are different from the ones shown on the chart. I
would recommend changing the first one.

CHETNA, which means
'awareness' in several Indian
languages, is an acronym for
Centre for Health Education,
Training and Nutrition Awareness.
It was established in 1980 as a
project to improve rhe impact
of supplementary feeding programmes for women and
children, in Gujarat, India.
Mission : CHETNA's mission is to
contribute towards the
empowerment of
disadvantaged women,
an* pjscents and children so
thK-rney become capable of
gaining control over their own,
their families' and communities'
health.

and strengthening the work of
functionaries of Government
and Non-Govemment
Organisations (NGOs),
Individuals and Educators,

working to Improve the health of
women, adolescents and
children.

CHETNA's Ideology
o Strengthening existing efforts
prevents duplication.......

CHETNA supports ongoing efforts
of Government and Non­
Government Organisations,
health professionals and
community groups to Improve
their work related to health and
development concerns of the
community.
o Information leads to
empowerment.....
CHETNA realises that Information
is an indispensable input in the
process of development and is
critical In terms of policy making
and programming.

CHETNA makes efforts to bridge
the communication gap that
exists between the grassroots
and policy makers, funders and
programme implementors
ensuring that information on
experiences of innovative, viable
and relevant development is
disseminated widely.
• A participatory approach Is
the cornerstone of
empowerment and It Is
particularly essential at the
field level...
Participation enables people to
take greater control over their
lives, over the problems which
confront them and the solutions
which challenge them.
Community based development
requires that people define their
own health needs, and that
solutions come from their own
context. Focusing on health and
nutrition, CHETNA uses
participatory methods to
empower women and children.
• Drawing from the knowledge
of the community...
CHETNA makes efforts to
demystify modern health
knowledge and share factual
information with the community.
Strengthening existing health
systems, it also draws on the
richness of traditional health
knowledge and practices and
encourages people to use the
knowledge they already possess
to address their health concerns.
• Need-based education
respects people’s
differences...
CHETNA plans and develops
need-based education and
training modules and materials
which are responsive to priorities
of the people themselves. Every
training session, each
information package, and every
activity Is tailored to meet
people's felt needs.

learning...
Curious and creative, children
quickly grasp health and
nutrition messages and can be
assisted to take control of their
own health, that of their families'
and communities'. Using a
’cafeteria approach’ to health
education, CHEITAN encourages
children to select the
Information most useful to them.

e Learning by doing...
Through games, puppet shows,
songs, drawing, painting, story
telling, children are encouraged
to take part in shaping their own
health and nutrition messages.
To make learning interesting,
CHEITAN develops and uses
activity-based, innovative
approaches.
» Children as partners In
health...

9. Risks

a)

The root causes of malnutrition in India are complex and
deeply
entrenched..
They- include
environmental,
cultural,
educational,
technological and political factors in addition to conditions of poverty, poor
health and illiteracy. The process of altitudinal change may be slow.

b)

Although tlie ICDS program has many accomplishments to its credit, its own
evaluations have pointed out many problems diat need policy and
institutional reform to be overcome. These might have repercussions on die
performance of die project.

c)

Failure to obtain die necessary approvals and clearances on timely basis
from DEA and Ministry of Finance may result in delays in project
implementation.

d)

At die community and district level, die project must continue to receive
strong community and political support'and participation if die SHGs and
NRUs are to function effectively. This to a large extent depend on local
leadership, IEC, political and administrative commitment.

The first three risks will best be managed by ensuring the active support and
involvement of die Government of Karnataka and die Zila Parishads, and by close
and harmonious working relationships between DWCD and MOFHW, with odier
government agencies and NGOs. The best way to make diis happen is die smoodi
functioning of the PSC, an effective IEC component and careful monitoring and
evaluation. The fourth risk will be managed by encouraging comm uni cation and
participation of local panchayat and community. Enabling die district core groups
and nutrition committees to develop and manage dicir own strategics and activities
to meet their local needs will also be helpful. However, die

the child and child’s family would be paid follow up visits by the Lady
Health Visitor to prevent relapse.. She will monitor tlic progress of the child
and give practical advice. She will weigh and examine the child clinically
and refer the child bach to the unit if necessary, using specific referral
criteria. She will be assisted by ANM/AWW during the visit

6.6 Monitoring and Evaluation: Monitoring and evaluation of any
intervention programme is necessary to assess the progress and impact of the
project, to check if tire objectives are realistic and appropriate or if they need
be revised, whether the interventions being implemented as expected and
accepted by target population and having no undesirable side effects.
If the monitoring and evaluation is done together with the community it will
serve two purposes : Firstly, it is a management tool that helps people
improve their efficiency and effectiveness. Secondly, it is also an
educational process that helps participants increase their awareness and
understanding of tlic various factors that affect their lives. In so doing it
increases people’s control over the developmental process.
Proposed strategies: i) Baseline survey to assess the nutrition situation both
quantitative as well as qualitative, ii) mid term and end evaluation to
measure the achievement, iii) regular monitoring of the process and the
achievements. The existing monitoring formats of 1CDS may be reviewed
and modified if required for making them result oriented. A small number of
key indicators may be identified to help monitoring and management at each
level.
iv) A system of collating the information received from tire grass root area at
the district and state level for taking corrective actions
v) Introduction of community based monitoring.
Active community members can be part ofs the monitoring teams.( This
responsibility can also be given to SHGs ) In participatory monitoring
methods and indicators are simple and are designed to provide timely
information required for taking action at community as well as government
level. CDPO /supervisor can organize a monthly monitoring meeting where
problems and their possible solutions can be discussed. This information can
also complement the data collected by ICDS functionaries for MPRs and
will be collated at District level

7.0 Project Management
a)

Responsibility for the project within the Government ol Karnataka will lie
with the Department of Women’s and Child Development (DWCD/SW).
The Secretary' DWCD will be assisted by the PMU to ensure that the project
receives the necessary resources and facilities etc., authorizations, and
cooperation of the Karnataka government agencies.

b)

Overall direction of the project will be provided by a Project Steering
Committee (PSC) headed by tire Secretary, DWCD (GO1) and consisting of
Secretary DWCD (Karnataka Government); Director WCD GOK; the MI
Director/South Asia Region; Chief, CDN UNICEF-India; the Project
Manager; representatives of the four District Councils. The PSC will meet
every six months to consider and approve the strategies and work plans for
the project, review' and accept tire regular reports of tire Project Manager,
approve reports to the Government of Karnataka and the funding agencies,
and resolve issues that can not be settled at the working level.

c)

The project will be managed by an independent Project Management Unit
(PMU) established within /outside ???? DWCD/Kamataka and headed by a
Project Manager reporting directly to the PSC. The Project Manager will be
accountable for tlie implementation of the Management Strategy and
Workplan of tlie project, for the smooth functioning of tlie PMU and die
efficient administration of project resources, and for the preparation and
timely submission of narrative and financial reports to tlie PSC.

d)

Upon approval of tlie project and engagement of tlie Project Manager, tlie
Project Manager will prepare a detailed Management Strategy and a Project
Workplan for consideration and approval of the PSC. The Management
Strategy will set out the specific roles and responsibilities of all project
stakeholders, the management and decision-making systems, and a Work
Breakdown Structure for the various project components. The Workplan will
be reviewed and updated at each meeting of tlie PSC.

e)

The Project Manager will submit to tlie PSC quarterly financial reports,
semi-annual narrative reports, and a comprehensive annual report.

Uiat horticultural interventions can motivate families to produce some
vegetables and consume them too. Large scale production of vegetables and
fruits in Karnataka also makes it imperative to take simple techniques of
food processing, especially drying, to people so that vegetables can be dried
and preserved when are in glut. This will reduce post harvest losses as well
as ensure consumption of vegetables during off-season. Cash return may
also be obtained from the sale of surplus produce, which would make
horticulture a sustainable enterprise. Therefore the objectives of horticultural
intervention in the project are: (i) to develop nurseries in a cluster of villages
(ii) to supply saplings and seeds to SHGs at subsidized rates (in) to
encourage growing of at least one perennial and one seasonal crop in tire
homes, community, AWCs, schools (iv) to ensure consumption of fruits and
vegetables by community using nutrition counselling, and (v) to generate
awareness about home based food processing and use of low cost cool
chambers for preventing spoilage of food
Methodology: (i) SHGs and AWWs will be provided training in raising
fruits and vegetable plants suited to the taste and climate of different project
districts and in preservation of vegetables and fruits with the help of District
agriculture and horticulture extension centers in collaboration with
Horticulture Research Institute, Bangalore (ii) Seeds and saplings of plants
will be distributed to the community free of cost, (iii) Awareness generation
among community about preservation of fruits and vegetables in season and
use of low cost cool chambers. This responsibility can also be given to
SHGs which can work under the supervision of AWWs and Supervisors.

6.5 Health Services
6.5.1 Strengthening Linkages with Health System: Health and nutrition
arc strongly interlinked. Hence it is necessary that intervention for
prevention and management of tlie two sectors be delivered as a combmed
package at tlie community level. To do this, it is essential that functionaries
of health and ICDS work together as a team. They can work together to
empower families and tire communities to choose appropriate practices to
meet their health and nutritional needs at home and use appropriate facilities
when required.
The Border Cluster Strategy-Under GO1.0NICEF MPO has tlie objective of
strengthening RCH services in clusters of 4-5 districts located on tlie inter­
state borders of 16 States with the goal to demonstrate a significant impact in
tlie reduction of IMR,MMR, and malnutrition. It is envisaged that clustering

will enhance tlie impact and cost effectiveness of activities that address
common problems in these districts. Gulbarga and Raichur districts of
Karnataka wliich are the project districts also have been identified for
implementation of this strategy. The following mechanism will be adopted
for building and strengthening teams:
-joint training of AWWs, ANMs, TBAs and SHGs
-joint communication drives
-AWW as depot holder for ORS, IFA tablets
-joint household visits for problem cases
-joint updating of records, immunization register or weight
records
- support of ANM in GMP sessions
-joint meetings with MSS or SHGs
-joint review meetings at block district and state level
Some more innovative activities can be identified at district level.

6.5.2 Setting up Nutrition Rehabilitation Units: In Karnataka 2.6% of
children suffer from severe malnutrition^ -3 sd weight for height criterion)
The presence of oedema or wasting indicates severe malnutrition. The
cliildren may or may not have conditions like dehydration, severe anaemia,
life threatening infections, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, severe vitamin A
deficiency, apathy and anorexia. Malnourished infants under 12 months of
age have a greater risk of dying than older malnourished children.
Residential care is essential for initial treatment and for the beginning of
rehabilitation of a child with severe malnutrition. The child should be
admitted to the hospital (CHC) with facilities for special nutrition care.
When child starts eating satisfactorily and gaining weight he or she can
usually be managed at non-rcsidcntial rehabilitation centre which can be set
up at a PIIC. Close cooperation between hospital and centre is necessary to
ensure continuity of the care. It may be relevant to point out here that it is
better to prevent severe malnutrition than., drain precious resources on
management.
Services to tackle severe malnutrition will be initiated at CHC/PHC level as
a pilot project in one block of each district. After a minimum stay in the
health centre, the mother will be taught about appropriate feeding, how to
adapt family foods , give frequent .feeds, continue breastfeeding to provide
enough energy and nutrition for rapid catch up growth. After the discharge,

form of either laddoos or bars. Food will be enriched with vitamin and
mineral premix. 100 grams of this food will provide 400 calories. For
infants die mixture can be reconstituted in warm water before feeding and
would not require any cooking. Acceptability trials of food will be done on
the local community before taking a final decision on die type of food. One
kilogram of food can be purchased from SHGs for Rs 15, which includes the
transportation cost also.
Since it will be logistically appropriate to provide the entire monddy quota
once a month as take home ration, die food mix may be packed in one kg
packets. Severely malnourished children will be fed at die site. Non
compliance can be checked to some extent by strengthening 1EC to mothers
and families
Production of food by locally placed SHGs will be cost effective due to
reduction in transportation cost of locally available raw food and distribution
of processed food. The food production units managed by SHGs will be
established in the accommodation provided by village panchayat. Except for
grinding of food, all otiier processing of food will be done by women of
SHGs. Grinding will be done at village flour mill which will have the
provision of mixing the vitamin and mineral premix also ( wherever possible
chakkis will be modified for mixing vitamin and mineral premixes to four.
Otherwise women will be trained to mix the premix manually). Extra food

produced in the food-producing units can be sold out in the market at an
agreed rate. This will be helpful in improving the economic situation of the
SHGs.
(The value of anything given free is not adequately appreciated. Therefore it
will be considered whether a nominal cost, say 2.00 p per kg for
supplementary food may be recovered. Having paid for the food, it will
directly ensure consumption by the beneficiaries. 77?e funds so collected can
be utilized as additional working capital for the SHGs. However, this
decision may be taken al the forthcoming meeting of Secretary WCD, GOK,
UNICEF and Ml.)

Fortification of Local Cereals: The rationale of fortification of flour
( cereals and millet flour ) is that it is widely consumed in fairly large
amount everyday. It can be fortified with lower levels of micronutrients

(;25%t'df;;RDA-‘),;'\yhich-,helps]hi., preventing any discolouration or quality
problem. 'As ‘80% 'of/villages''in'project Districts have electricity operated
flour mills and most of the villagers get grinding of the cereal done from
those mills; this will be- a cheap and effective method for preventing
micronutrient malnutrition. It will also not require any change in food habits
of the people. The premix' ( containing iron, folic acid and vit A ) will be
mixed with,the flour at the end of milling process by a specially designed
mixer. Fortification of flour in the initial phase will be supervised by an
official designated by the Zila Parishad C.E.O, and later this responsibility
can be overtaken by SHGs.The consumer will be made aware of the
fortification and acceptability trials will be carried out.

6.3 Supplementation

6.3.1 Distribution of IFA supplements to under threes, adolescent girls,
pregnant and lactating women: IFA tablets are distributed to infants and
pregnant and lactating women under the govt programmes. Li order to
improve the health status of girls even before they are pregnant, tins project
envisages to include adolescent girls also in the beneficiaries of this service.
This also plans to improve efficiency and effectiveness of existing delivery
mechanism and counseling of women for better compliance. Pregnant
women will get IFA tablets for 180 days instead of 100 days.
6.3.2 Strengthening and support of the coverage of the current Vitamin
A supplementation programme for children upto the age of 6 years: The
present coverage which is about 80% at the first dose is not sustained later
particularly because the later doses are not linked to immunization. It is
therefore planned to strengthen IEC and educate SHGs to extend die
coverage and sustain die later doses.

6.4 Dietary Diversification
Intervention on Micronutrient-rich Horticulture Produces: A long term
and sustainable solution to combat micronutrient deficiencies is regular
intake of foods rich in diese nutrients. Efforts aimed at dietary
diversification can be sustainable only when die food sources of iron and
vitamin A are locally available. Food and agriculture policies thus need to
accord higher priority to improving production, preservation and distribution
of vegetables and fruits. It has been observed in different parts of die country

A consultant will be hired for preparation of IEC material specific for
Karnataka.

6.1.3 Training: Key to tire implementation of strategies of the project is
AWW and support to them is augmented through SHGs plus ICDS
supervisors CDPOs and District level officials will be a major component of
the project’s early stages. It is expected that ICDS functionaries, even
though have knowledge, will need to be introduced to community based
participatory activities. They also need to develop counseling skills.
Therefore, along with orientation to project interventions focused on the life
cycle approach they will also be provided training to develop counseling
skills. Other influential change agents who are in contact with women and
their families are ANMs, TBAs, primary school teachers, NGOs, PRI
members and rural development workers. Empowered with tire correct
information and communication skills, these change agents can play an
important role in changing tire nutrition situation. Teachers have the oilier
special role of influencing the young minds. Therefore combined training of
all key personnel will ensure transmission of the same information to the
target group, reinforcement of advice being given and minimal
contradiction.
The following training programmes will be organized for tire different
categories:
(i) Two days training of trainers for CDPOs, AWTCs, MLTCs,
DPOs, MOs, ICDS and health supervisors,NGOs
(ii) Joint training for 3 half days for AWWs, ANMs, MPWs,
school teachers, TBAs rural development workers, and NGOS
(iii) 5 days training of women of self help groups

Characteristics of training: All training should be participatory, on-going,
process oriented; skill oriented and practical; community-based and multi­
targeted.
Four CFNEUs of FNB placed in Karnataka and Hyderabad will provide
training at block level. Training to grassroot level workers and SHGs will be
provided by 23 AWTCs of Karnataka and NGOs in die State and nearby
places.

6.2 Food Fortification
6.2.1 Distribution of Fortified Supplementary Food to Vulnerable
Groups-During Ihe last three decades a number of research studies and
evaluations of supplementary feeding programmes have been undertaken in
many countries. It has been shown that supplementary nutrition has
immediate as well as long-term effect on growth and development. Nutrition
care to pregnant women was found to be the most cost-effective means of
preventing perinatal deaths. Supplementary food is being distributed under
tire ICDS scheme for tlie last 25 years. However, tire quantum of
improvement in tlie nutritional status of women children is below tlie
intended level. Attrition could be due to irregular and poor supply of food,
poor participation of the beneficiaries, monotony of supplementary food
provided, or sharing and substitution of food in the family. It has been
planned to overcome some of tlie problems in tlie project so that tlie
beneficiaries get tlie advantage of supplementation.
gk
Supplementary food will be distributed to all tlie beneficiaries of ICDS
e.,children between tlie age group of 6m-2years, pre-school children,
i.
pregnant and lactating women for 365 days of tlie year. As tlie project is
adopting the life-cycle approach to address malnutrition, adolescent girls
will also be included in tlie beneficiaries of the programme. Pregnant women
will be entitled to tlie supplements from their first prenatal consultation and
12 months after delivery. More attention will be paid to children below 2
years as this age group is in chronic state of starvation for both macro and
micronutrients.
Type of food : The supplementary food to be distributed in the project
district will be carefully planned keeping in view tlie required nutrition
density, taste preference, low cost, cultural acceptability. Ready to use
precooked fortified mix based on locally available raw material would^p
used. This hygienically prepared RTE will be a combination of cereal, pimse
in tlie ratio of 3:1 with tlie addition of nuts, sugar or jaggery and oil.
However, the choice of raw material can be left to tlie Districts. A single
food mix will be prepared for all categories of beneficiaries initially.
However, it can processed later on according to local preferences for
different age groups. Different recipes will be suggested for adding variety
to the food for infants and small children. In order to improve tlie
acceptability by mothers and adolescent girls food can be supplied in tlie

strategies for working of SHGs can be worked out at Distt level as tire
strategy cannot be the same for the entire district and would depend on a
number of factors including geographical location of villages.

Each group can be provided a seed capital of Rs.15,000 for establishing the
units. Recurring expenditure needed is expected to be raised from sale
proceeds of products processed.
«,
Women of SHGs will be provided training in purchase of quality raw
ingredients, economy of wholesale purchase, safe storage, food processing
and fortification, hygiene and sanitation control and packaging. They will
also be oriented towards nutrition and health needs of vulnerable groups and
good cliild care practices. Hands on skill training for raising of annual and
perennial vegetable and fruit plants will also be provided. They will also be
provided skill based training in preservation and drying of fruits and
vegetables.
6.1.2 Information Education and Communication (IEC)
Many good practices are operationally simple and do not require heavy
expenditure or extra labour, but require change in behaviour of people. For
example, initiation of breastfeeding immediately after birth, feeding of
colostrum, timely introduction of complementary feeding for infants, minor
changes in food preparation methods and addition of some locally available
greens in the daily diets and care of girl cliild can bring about observable
changes in nutritional status of people.

Desirable behavioral changes related to nutrition and cliild caring practices
at household level and in the community can be initiated and sustained only
through effective communication support and demonstration of some
positive results of good practices adopted by tlie conununity. This broadly
aims to stimulate demand for the services, improve feeding and child caring
practices, encourage pregnant women for early registration and for availing
MCH services, prepare adolescent girls for safe motherhood and promote
community participation.
At present most of tlie programmes emphasize on awareness generation or
providing information only. Most of tlie field level workers are lacking
counseling skills and have weak communication skills; they also lack IEC

4

tools (e.g. counselling cards) to help them conduct EEC sessions more
effectively. IEC strategies in the project can be creative and can help in
taking advantage of all opportunities that present themselves to integrate key
messages into, ongoing events, '.including everyday unprogrammed
(opportunistic) encounters in tlie villages. These can be weekly markets,
health melas, specific health education days, religious functions, mahila
mandal meetings, home visits, baby shows, literacy programmes etc.
All the field level workers, formal and informal service providers can be
closely involved for enlightening the community and bringing out
behavioural change. Joint training programmes will be organized for
AWWs, ANMs, school teachers, rural development workers, SHGs,
members of VECs and TBAs. Additionally AWWs and ANMs will be
provided training in development of counseling skills so that they will help
tlie mothers to adopt nutrition friendly behaviour. They will also receive
training in PLA techniques which can help in moulding people’s behaviour
in participatory maimer.

Another strategy for establishing good nutritional .practices is to promote
sound nutritional practices in tlie young children. Nutrition topics will be
included in school syllabus after reviewing tlie existing one. Young children
can also become very responsible message carriers to the families and
community.
Interpersonal as well as mass media channels will be used for IEC. It is alsc
proposed that the roles of Supervisors from 1CDS and health sectors bi
further strengthened in interpersonal communication to support the efforts o
AWWs, ANMs, TBAs. For all communication themes to be addresset
interpersonal aids will be developed or selected from the already existing
ones and translated in kannada. These will include a set of counseling cards
meant to be used for one to one communication, a set of demo teachii^aids
Short messages for radio broadcasting will be developed to communicat
key behavioral issues to people. Cassettes of these massages can b
distributed at the block level also. Metal stencils with pictorial nutrition
messages will be prepared at District level and distributed to all CDPOs fc
painting messages on tlie walls of villages.

Based on community needs assessment and decentralized planning process,
it will lead to simultaneous improvement through these groups.

The project will be implemented tlirough the development of community
level teams of SHGs, AWW, ANM and school teacher for improved
outreach to ensure that beneficiaries of all the groups are receiving
counseling about appropriate nutrition, health and care.
SHGs formed in the Stree Shakti project will be established to produce
appropriate supplementary food, generate awareness and disseminate
messages to the community for developing healthy habits and monitoring.
The women panchayat members at village as well as taluk level will be used
as resource persons for advocacy and community mobilization.
The AWW, supervisors and ACDPOs will extend their help and cooperation
to the groups and liaise with them. At taluk level the programme will be
coordinated and monitored by CDPOs.

A District Nutrition Committee headed by C.E.O./ District Collector and
consisting of district level officers of the concerned departments, would
implement and monitor the progress of implementation every month.
A Programme Management Unit (PMU) at State level headed by Secretary
WCD and assisted by a Consultancy firm will have the responsibility of
management of the project.
It is very important to mention here that the project will require
strengthening, initiation and coordination activities including DWCD, Health
and Family Welfare, PRJ, Rural Development, Food and Civil Supplies,
Education, Horticulture, Agriculture and Forestry.. This can be handled best
at District Level. This project can also very well complement the Border
District Cluster Strategy in Gulbarga and Raichur districts in terms of
nutrition and childcare at family level.



6.0 Project Interventions

6.1 Information, Education and Communication

6.1.1 Support Women’s Self Help Groups (SHGs)
Experiences have shown that when a community is fully involved in design,
implementation and monitoring of nutrition and other development projects,
using a triple-A process (asscssment-analysis-action), these arc likely to be
more effective and sustainable. Such participatory efforts more often meet
the real needs of die people and achieve results diat can be continued witli
minimum external inputs. The prcsent<, project also envisages organizing
SHGs of women from the community and improving tlieir knowledge and
practices regarding health, nutrition and infant care and reduce die load of
AWWs. These women will play a critical role in carrying out die main
nutrition activities including:
(a) Setting up self-sustainable nutritious food production units ai^k
production of fortified supplementary food. Food produced in these units
will be distributed amongst beneficiaries of 1CDS scheme.
(b) Educating community about raising vegetables and fruits even in
landless households and the mcdiods of home based preservation and
drying of vegetables and fruits.
(c) Nutrition and healdi education. Acquired knowledge and skills related to
nutrition and infant care will empower them to- solve the local problems
and provide support to women and families. They will be able to identify
and optimize existing resources and solutions within the community to
solve community problems.
(d) Supervision of regular GMP sessions.These groups will also regularly
monitor the nutrition situation of the community.This will include home
visits for monitoring G-I and II malnourished children and counselling
care givers to prevent G-III and IV malnutrition.
Karnataka government has declared a programme called stree shakti w
rural women with a view to give special impetus to the empowerment of
rural women through SHGs. Under the programme each AWW will form
tliree SHGs in the limits of her centre. Each AWW will be given an
incentive of Rs 50/- p.m. for each group formation and supervisors an FTA
of Rs 200/- pm under the project. For production of supplementary food and
nursery development women can be selected from these SHGs. The

4.0 Summary Project Description
Concerned about tlie grim malnutrition situation in Karnataka amongst all the
southern states and to ameliorate the nutritional level of population, the Govt of
Karnataka has planned to initiate an IntegratedJNutrition Project (INP) in four
districts namely, Raichur, Gulbarga, Tumkur and Chikmagalur. The project will
address the problems of malnutrition including micronutrient malnutrition by
adopting intergenerational life cycle approach to reduce morbidity and mortality
due to malnutrition amongst the most vulnerable groups of the population namely:
children 0-2 years, adolescent girls and pregnant and lactating women.

An analysis of the causes of malnutrition reveals that the problem is the result of
multiple factors and no single sectoral programme input can address it effectively.
The programme, therefore envisages bringing in better intersectoral coordination
of various ongoing activities at all levels.
The total cost of tlie project will be Rs. 565 crores ( approx ) over five years. The
project will consist of seven components, organized as follows:
a) Information, Education and Coininunication(IEC)

support to women’s SHGs who will be educated and trained on (a)
promotion of child care at family level; (b) preparation of supplementary
food for infants, pre school cliildren, adolescent girls, pregnant and nursing
mothers; nutrition and health education; (c) growing fruits and vegetable
plants;(d) preservation and drying of .fruits and vegetables in peak season;
and (e) monitoring of nutrition situation in tlie village.

1EC and nutrition counseling, including nutrition-related topics in school
curricula

joint training of local Government and non-governmental functionaries

b) Food Fortification

distribution of fortified supplementary food to vulnerable groups

fortification of local cereals

c) Supplementation

distribution of Iron Folic Acid supplements to under-threes, adolescent girls,
pregnant and lactating mothers

Vitamin A supplementation to children from 9 months to tlie age of 6 years

d) Dietary Diversification

intervention on micronutrient-rich horticulture produces
e) Health Services

strengthening linkages with the health sector

establishing Nutrition Rehabilitation Units in each district for management
of severely malnourished cases
f) Project Management

establishment of a Project Management Unit and its efficient operation

establishment of a Project Steering Committee and support for its activities

g) Monitoring and Evaluation

on-going performance monitoring and feedback, and periodic external
evaluation

community-based monitoring and feedback, using the triple-A approach

5.0 Project Strategy
The strategies of the project will be on the lines of National Nutrition Mission,
that is,

a) Vigorous awareness campaign on malnutrition to reach all sections of the
society
b) Direct interventions for preventing onset of malnutrition among 0-2
years, adolescent girls, and reduce LBW and micronutrient malnutrition
c) Nutrition Mapping and Surveillance for monitoring tire nutrition situation
regularly.

The project has been designed based on assumption that it will support and^
strengthen government’s ongoing programmes for improving nutritional
status of the community. Local women of the Self Help Groups will be tire
key players in the project. Technical support will be provided to SHGs to
build up their own capacity to perform the required tasks. The project also
envisages to strengthen abilities of ICDS and health functionaries working at
field level as well as their trainers to actively support and assist SHGs.

An individual’s nutrition is determined by a number of factors acting
directly or indirectly. The causes of malnutrition are complex and include

®

0
®

°

Inadequate cliild caring practices, often governed by cultural and religious
beliefs and status of women in the families
Poverty and household food insecurity
Inadequate access to health care services and poor sanitation
Constraints to the physical and social development of tire girl during
childhood and adolescence
Heavy workloads, social and economic barriers compounded by gender
discrimination in the community and within tire family that influence
access to healthcare, intra-household food distribution and access to
information.

Malnutrition is transmitted across generations. LBW infants bom to severely
malnourished women, remain malnourished in the childhood and adolescence.
These effects are especially devastating in tire case of girls who are neglected
during infancy and childhood. Chronically malnourished girls are therefore, even
more likely to remain malnourished during adolescence and adulthood, and when
pregnant, to deliver low birth weight babies. Early marriage and teenage pregnancy
further deteriorate her nutritional and heal th status.

Household food insecurity also perpetuates across generations. Diminished work
capacity and work output result in low family income and household food
insecurity, thus perpetuating the cycle of household food insecurity and
malnutrition. Therefore, protection and promotion of health and nutrition of
women can be achieved through a combination of strategics involving concerted
actions by various sectors at different levels.

A depressing cliild nutrition and health scenario is common feature for most of the
states in the country. In Karnataka, it is estimated that 54 % of children below 4
years of age are underweight and 48 % are stunted or short for their age. Wasting,
which is the most serious nutritional problem, affects 19% of lire children in
Karnataka. According to NEHS I (92-93) about 22 % of the children in the state
were low birth, weighing less than 2500 grams at the time of birth. This clearly
indicates die poor nutritional status of modiers. Over 40 % of women suffer from

anaemia due to iron deficiency and close to 30 % women are suffering from severe
and moderate grades of CED. The degree of iron deficiency anaemia is highest in
12-23 months old children (78 %) in Karnataka (NFHS II)

Some of the contributing practices to this dismal-sitnation in Karnataka are:

• Intake of dietary energy, proteins, calcium, iron, vitamin A by children are
well below the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA).
• Cereals constitute tlie bulk of diets of women and children. Type of cereal or
millet varies with the region.
• Diets of women and adolescent girls are also deficient in most of nutrients especially iron and vitamin A. Tills is mainly due to tire reason that average
intake of GLV by women (15 grams) is far below tlie RDA, which is 100
grams.
• Only 27 % of rural women in Karnataka initiate breastfeeding on tire first
day. About 60 % of mothers discard colostrum and 85 % women give
prelactael feeds to infants. Tills practice which deprives tlie newborns from
getting benefits of colostrum, exposing them to dangers of infection.
• 22% of urban women introduce complementary food before 2 months of age
and 84% introduce it above 6 months of age.
Integrated Child Development services (ICDS) Scheme is implemented in all of
tlie Slates of India including Karnataka to improve nutrition, health and
psychosocial status of young cliildren and women. Services provided to local
population under ICDS are: distribution of supplementary nutrition to vulnerable
groups, immunization, health check upS, pre-school education and referral services.
The focal point of delivery of services is the Anganwadi Centre (AWC) - childcare
center in the village or urban slum. The centers are run by local community based
women childcare workers - tlie Anganwadi workers.

Child health is also addressed by Reproductive and Child Health Programme
which aim to reduce IMR, CMR & MMR. This programme is an extension of
earlier Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Child Survival and Safe Motherhood
(CSSM) Programme. However, tlie improvement is not of tlie intended level,
which is quite apparent from the data discussed earlier.

Integrated Nutrition Project — Karnataka

1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this project is to support and strengthen tire Government of
Karnataka’s on-going programs for improving the nutritional status of the
community by reducing all forms of micronutrient malnutrition among vulnerable
population.

2.0 Objectives
The objectives of the project are:
To improve the quality, coverage and use of nutrition related services
namely, provision of supplementary nutrition and nutrition education
at AWCs in collaboration with and support from tire health sub-centre
• To create awareness education to the community for development of
proper nutrition habits with the use of low cost locally available
resources.
® To empower women through participation in Self-Help Groups. This
is intended to increase ownership of the project, and improve
knowledge and practices regarding health, nutrition and infant care.
• To establish Nutrition Rehabilitation Units for management of severe
malnutrition
3.0 Background

o

Malnutrition and morbidity are twin problcips affecting a major part of the
country’s population - especially women and children. They are undoubtedly tire
most crucial segment of the population, due not only to their sheer numbers, but
also their special physiological demands. Malnutrition is often associated with
morbidity and mortality thus adversely affecting life expectancy. Additionally, it
causes growth retardation and leads to functional impairment, disability,
diminished productivity and reduced resistance to diseases.

An individual’s nutrition is determined by a number of factors acting
directly or indirectly. The causes of malnutrition are complex and include

MIXI TES OF THE HNP DISCUSSION WITH DHO’s HELD ON 25™ JANUARY,2001
AT NEW CONFERENCE HALL, HEALTH COMMISSIONERS OFFICE.
The Commissioner H & FW briefly described the salient features of the HNP project.
He emphasized that the project covered the important aspects of Integration, Women’s
health (not just reproductive health), equity, Regional Disparities, Nutrition (which had
long been neglected) and other issues. He then asked the DHO’s (starting from the
category ‘C’ Districts) to give their suggestions/ views on the project proposal (which
had been distributed to all the 27 DHO’s the previous day itself). All the DHO’s
expressed that the Project proposal was well prepared and covered a large range of issues.

DHO’s of Koppal, Raichur and Gulbarga felt that in their districts there was no
requirement of new PHC’s.
DHO’s of Bagalkot and Bijapur felt that a few new PHC’s would be required as some
of their PHC’s were covering a population of above 45,000. Health Commissioner
advised them that they should review the distribution of population with all their PHC’s
and see if by re-distribution of area of responsibility could they avoid asking for new
PHC’s. (He felt that asking for new PHC’s posed a problem as Government, may
sanction PHC’s on political lines).

DHO, Bidar stated that 11 PHU’s in his district needed to be upgraded to PHC’s.

DHO Gulbarga stated that out of his 11 PHCs there was management problems and
also large number of vacancies in staff still required to be filled. He felt that government
should provide accommodation for health staff and staff should stay at their
Headquarters. Health Commissioner emphasized that it was left to the DHO to ensure
that staff resided wherever staff quarters existed.
DHO Koppal also emphasized the shortage of staff due to vacancies not being filled up
especially Lab Technicians and staff nurses and also the problem of having only 3 jeeps
for 43 PHC’s. Health Commissioner clarified that though some of those issues were
important they did not require a project to tackle them. He urged the DHO’s to come out
with concrete suggestions for the HNP project.

Dr. Krishnan stated that not having adequate vehicles definitely affected supervision of
health activities, but if vehicles were provided then MOs should ensure that these were
not taken over / misused by Zilla Panchayat staff.
DHO Raichur also reiterated that vehicles could definitely influence health indicators
positively. He pointed out that about 86 SC’s in his districts had no buildings, large
number of vacancies and the requirement of same funds for day-to-day maintenance of
PHC’s. Commissioner Health stated that under the PMJY for infrastructure these SC’s
could be tackled in a phased manner. He agreed that an annual maintenance fund of Rs.
20,000/- per PHC could be worked out for simple repairs but the exact modalities needed
to be worked out. Some of the DHO’s were in favour of a Junior Engineer under DHO’s
to carry out such works, (as ZP’s were busy with large projects more than Rs. 5 lacs).

Some DHO’s felt that Disposable Dai Kits needed to be provided to Dais so that aseptic
home deliveries could be conducted. Many felt that ANM’s found it'~dTff7cult to perform
deliveries without an assistant. It was felt that the Dais from the village should be
encouraged (through Health Education, IEC etc.) to bring cases to the SC and assist the
ANM in conducting the deliveries. An incentive of about Rs 50/- per case could be
given to the Dai and ANM for every delivery conducted in the SC’s. This would not only
bring down the incidence of home deliveries (with likely complications) as well as give
on the job skill based training'to the Dais in the villages.

One of the DHO’s agreed with the project proposal statement that the under 2’s were not
being reached in the Nutrition programme. It was stated that earlier under CARE ANM’s
were distributing tinned milk / powder to the under 2’s. Some felt that Nutrition
Education to mothers was adequate, others that SHG’s in villages could be involved in
preparation and distribution of weaning foods. PHC doctors and ANM should conduct
well-baby clinics during immunization days and actively monitor the nutritional status of
children. Also during these clinics once in a while nutrition demonstrations could be
conducted.
Regarding partnering with the private sector a lot of discussion was generated. Some
DHO’s felt that it would result in encouraging quacks to practice.
Health
Commissioner stated that whether the medical fraternity accepted it or not, 75% of the
patients in rural areas accessed private practitioners first. Some felt that Health Societies
could be formed at the village level with PP’s, NGO representatives, etc. and meet
regularly. PHC MO’s should have linkage / liaison with local PP’s (atleast once a month)
and they could be briefed about the National Health Programmes as well as inform about
disease outbreaks (surveillance).

There being shortage of time the discussion was concluded. The participants were asked
to read the project proposal in detail and submit written suggestion I strategies within a
week.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 07 MARCH 2001
AT THE OFFICE OF
THE COMMISSIONERATE OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION ON
INTEGRATED HNP PROJECT

Mr. Vijay Bhaskar initiated the meeting by congratulating Dr Kurtakoti for the excellent
performance in the School Health Programme during the previous year.

Mr. Sanjay Kaul briefly touched upon the HNP project and CHC’s role in preparation of the
project proposal. He stated that the project was for about Rs 800 crores from the World Bank and
that a Project Preparation Grant had also been sanctioned. The main focus was on Primary
Health Care that should provide integrated services, and converge initiatives especially in
collaboration with other sectors on nutrition, health of children and women and other related
issues. He mentioned about the responsibility of the Dept of Health m provision of Nutrition
through the ICDS scheme of WCD Dept and similar commitment to the health of the children m
schools. While accepting the good efforts of the Chief Medical Inspector of schools and Dr
Kurtakoti in the School Health programme, especially where documentation is concerned, he still
felt that the school health programme was neglected. He commented that though the education
dept, had printed beautiful and useful health cards for the school children, these were not being
filled up while conducting the medical check up of children. Also the school registers were not
being updated. The components of Health Education and Education of Adolescents, especially
girls, (Life skills/ Sex education) was not being linked to the school health programme.
Coordination between the Health Dept and Education Dept had been initiated through joint
circulars, but this needed to be improved. He emphasized that counselling of adolescents (or
even post-pubertal girls) needed to be intensified. He felt that the health gains of the ICDS
programme, which covered children upto 6 years, should continue for the children in schools
also.

Dr Kurtakoti briefly described the school health programme achievements and gave handouts.
He stated that in 1998-99 only 25% children had been medically examined and this has steadily
increased from more than 80% in 1999-2000 to 95.23% in 2000-2001. He stated that he was
convinced of the validity of the data as they were reflected by the DHOs. The medical
examination was earned out for children of I, IV and VII standards (once every 4 years), as per
the guidelines of the Government of India. He also stated that DT was given for I Std students
and booster dose of TT was given to Std IV and VII students and almost 79% coverage had been
achieved. About 22% of children have defects of which majority were dental and malnutrition(5%). He felt that most of these could be avoided by simple health education alone. He also
submitted a proposal for about Rs 55 crores for improving the implementation of the School
Health Programme. Regarding training of teachers, he stated that this depended on the budget
received by each district, which varied from Rs 80,000/- to one lakh per year.

Mr. T.M. Kumar was skeptical that such a large number of school children had been medically
examined and expressed doubts regarding the validity of the statistics presented. He was of the
view that only a campaign mode was suited for carrying out medical check ups. He also stated
that ideally 3 days of training for teachers was required but only about one day training was
being given. Also modality for referral of school children to Taluk and District hospital needs to
be worked out.

1

Mr. Vijay Bhaskar briefed about the UNICEF project in Mysore District where schools were
being provided water supply, toilets, sanitation and training of school teachers on Health and
Environment. He also stated that the department has approached NABARD for assistance for
toilets and water supply to schools in all districts.

Mr. Sanjay Kaul stated that life skills training (including sex education) was required for
adolescents and felt that NCERT had a good booklet on life skills with practical tips.

Dr. Kurtakoti commented that students in the schools could take up tree plantation and the other
batches could maintain the trees. He also felt that this would help in Nutrition education. He said
that all schools would be provided first aid kits.

Ms. Jalaja stated that more than 80% of girls in schools suffer from anaemia. Since there were
roughly 4 million school girls, mechanism should be worked out to deworm them once a year
and provide elemental Iron weekly to them, as well as out of school girls. She also felt that
small doses of Vitamin A could also be administered rather than the mega doses being given by
ICDS.
Dr. C.M. Francis felt that as malnutrition was more in boys than girls, this problem also needs
to be tackled. He cautioned about the dangers of excess Iron administration. He disagreed with
Dr. Kurtakoti’s statistics (5%) and felt that malnutrition was a major problem in Karnataka.

Mr. T.M.Kumar was critical of nutrition education, as he felt that the ground reality was quite
different making it difficult for poor families to follow such advise. He stated that even in some
places in Kolar district, no vegetables were available for half the year.
Ms. Jalaja explained that even in poor families green leafy vegetables were always available.
Also nutrition education was necessary so that within their constraints they could provide a low
cost balanced diet to their school children.

Mr. T.M.Kumar expressed that as the text books for Std. I to V had already been revised, any
changes or incorporation of Health Education material would not be possible. However,
textbooks for the other classes could be suitably modified. Also the inside covers of the text
books could be used for printing Health Education messages. He felt that monitoring of school
health by school teachers needed to be strengthened and that DDPI or others should review this
regularly.

Mr. Sanjay Kaul clarified that the major part of the medical examination was done by the health
workers and only the children with defects were examined by Medical Officers. He projected the
requirement of mobility and also of referral of the school children. He also stated that additional
drugs would be catered for in the PHCs.

Mr. T.M.Kumar felt that there needs to be a curriculum review in the TCH programme. Also
over 2 lakh teachers would require to be trained in the Block Resource Centres. He commented
about the success of 'chaitanya' (in-service 1 days training) which had a package that included
what ailments teachers can handle, which cases they should refer, and also covered disabilities,
autism, slow-learning, etc.

2

Mr. Sanjay Kaul also emphasized a tighter monitoring of the school health programme. He
requested the Education Department to work out the modalities of monitoring at District, Taluk
and Village level, through DDPI, DPER and others. He felt the necessity of feedback for
identifying discrepancy in data. He also felt the need for closer cooperation between Health and
Education departments and said that already he and the Commissioner Public Instruction were
issuing letters under their joint signatures. Also joint review meetings once a month (like with
the WCD department.) should be organised at all levels.

Dr. Thelma Narayan emphasized on the implementation mechanism. She felt the necessity of
proper training of teachers, ANMs and health workers (male). Training of trainers (TOT) would
be a strategy of the HNP project. The need for screening of children on pre-fixed days, and
treatment and follow up of children with medical problems was important to make the school
health programme effective and credible. The issue of mental health in school age children was
discussed as were the possibilities of involving resource people from NIMHANS (such as Dr.
Malvika Kapur, and others).

Dr. Sampath K. Krishnan suggested that out of school children could also be reached through
the schools if the teachers understood that the school was the focal point to reach all children in
the village (Dr. Ravi Narayan’s concept). This was readily accepted by all the participants who
felt that medical examination, deworming and distribution of Iron supplements could be carried
out for all children in the villages (and not restricted to children within schools only).

Mr. Sanjay Kaul while agreeing to these suggestions wanted these to be budgeted for in the
HNP project. He wanted CHC to meet with DPI (Primary Education) and Jt. Dtr. DSERT to
work out the finer details of the school health programme and also with Jt. Dtr. Nutrition
regarding the Iron supplements. He then closed the meeting after thanking all the participants for
a meaningful discussion.
