Tribal Plan :

• In Tribal areas due to geographical circumstances and the combination of food scarcity, imbalanced diet, poor purchasing power, monotonous food habits and ignorance about locally available nutritive food values is major reason for this widespread malnutrition. This is the critical age bracket where the inadequacy in the complimentary feeds directly affects the weight of the child leading to acute malnutrition. Due to that the Children living in Tribal areas are required high daily calories/protein/RDA than the children of plain areas.  Further even after providing supervisory feeding food model to the SUW children for 6months it is observed that the children are again falling back  normal to MAM and MUW and to SUW. Hence it is proposed food models given under “Special care and Supervised Feeding” to be given to the all children in tribal area projects to ensure children being healthy.
• Under S.R.Sampoorna Poshana plus Scheme the Supervisory feeding programme was given to the SUW, SAM & MAM Children in all ICDS Projects for 180 days with special care in this programme one egg per day, 100ml milk and  one extra mini meal was given to the children.
