Malnutrition among schedule caste school going children is an important concern for the health authorities in India.

Strengthening public health interventions for mild malnutrition cases and vulnerable groups, effective implementation and evaluation of the strategies at regional level, research on overweight, obesity and its etiological factors and steps for improving socioeconomic development are the prerequisites for tackling malnutrition among schedule caste school going children in India.
