Nutrient intake disparities among public distribution system beneficiaries in the Bundelkhand region
There is a consistent association between dietary diversity, both in terms of quantity and pattern of food consumption, and inadequate growth, development and long-term health outcomes. A total of 16 villages in the Bundelkhand region were chosen to evaluate calorie and nutrition intake using a 24-hour recall time. Caloric and nutrient intake in Chitrakoot district deviated from the recommended dietary allowance, with insufficient dietary diversity. This deficiency, excluding protein and phosphorus consumption, adversely affected the under-nutrition status among beneficiaries of the public distribution system.
