Abstract:
Rural women are major stakeholders in growth of agricultural sector for the New India. Considering the importance of rural women in ensuring the nutritional security of the rural farm families, various initiatives have been taken from both the Government and non-Government sectors namely the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), Development of Women and Child in Rural Areas (DWCRA) programme, etc. But, still more efforts are required to address the issue of nutritional security in the country. The concept of nutritional security emerged with the recognition of the necessity to include nutritional aspects in food security. Proper nutrition and balanced diet full of whole grains, fruits and vegetables will help to keep good health throughout life. Inadequate nutrition may lead to less efficiency of work among the rural women. According to a WFP report, about 21.25 percent of the Indian population lives on USD 1.90 per day, with a wide range of inequality and social exclusion. At the household level, the dietary intake of specific individuals involves two major issues – household food demand and intra-household food distribution. Other aspects like habits and knowledge about food processing and feeding practices influence the diet composition as well as their biological utilization. Other factors related to nutritional status may be availability and accessibility to household food, care, qualitative health service and a healthy environment.
