Retention of Nutrition and Health Knowledge and Practices-After an In-Service Training Programme

Systems of group care of pre school children are coming up throughout the country under various agencies. These are meant to provide opportunities for all round development of the children by providing supplementary feeding and other facilities for their general welfare. Education of children and mothers in health and nutrition knowledge and behaviour is also expected to be achieved through these programmes. The young children can be the potential prime mover-innovator in carrying the nutritional and health messages to their homes also.
