Abstract : Anemia, indicative of inadequate nutrition and insufficient dietary iron intake, poses a significant public health concern among pregnant women, infants, young children, and adolescents. The data from the National Family Health Survey 4 (NFHS 4) underscores a heightened prevalence of anemia, particularly among children and women of reproductive age, within our country [1].
