Description :
The most important segment of the population from the point of view of quality
of future generation is today’s young girls who are just on the threshold of marriage and
motherhood. Adolescent and College going girls constitute nearly 1/10th of the
population and form extremely important part of the community. Anemia is important
nutritional problem among college going girls. So, the study is to assess and detect and
remove anemia from the sufferer group. The college going girls have significant effect on
nutritional status after the supplementation of dietary iron and medicinal
supplementation. The Hb level of students is ranged between 6.7 to 10.8 gm/d and
after supplementation the Hb percentage ranged between 8.8 to 12.9 gm/dl. So, there is
a need to implement such health programmes to remove anemia of college going girls
group from population.
