Nutrition Month Program
September is celebrated as National Nutrition Month (Rashtriya Poshan Maah) in India. The country not only has the maximum share of global hunger but also has a huge share of obesity. Malnutrition in India is not just about the unavailability of food. It is also about the consumption of incorrect kind of food, that does not meet the protein and nutrition requirement.
A large chunk of Indians follows a strictly vegetarian diet. This often results in insufficient protein intake by them. Vegetarian foods can fulfil protein requirements as long as the diet is planned in an efficient manner. According to India’s Protein Paradox Study 2020, even if the citizens are aware of their protein needs, there is low knowledge of protein sources which is causing poor protein consumption in Indian. This study also draws special attention to the responsibility of educational institutions in creating awareness among students and parents about adequate protein consumption.
