The Malnutrition Removal Campaign

  • Complete (100%) survey of all children in the 0-6 age group. 
  • 100% registration of all such children. 
  • 100% weighing of all such children. 
  • On the basis of weighing, classification of all children into normal/grade 1 to 4 categories (as appropriate).
  • Special concentration on children in Grade 3 & 4 stages of malnutrition; regular weighing, providing for health & nutrition measures for these children. 
  • Initiating measures for ensuring health and nutrition of pregnant mothers to reduce incidence of low birth weight children.
  • Greater attention to children in the 0-3 age group given the greater incidence of malnutrition in this age group and its implications for the future development of the child. 
  • Analysis of data to bring out the relative incidence of malnutrition based on age, gender & social status (scheduled caste/tribe) etc.
