Adolescent Population in India

Adolescent Population: Adolescents are population aged from 10 to 19 years. They currently comprise about 20% of India’s population and are an important future resource for the country. Their nutritional requirements are more than that of either adults or younger children, but in our country the diet available for them is usually inadequate for their requirements, which leads to deficiency and stunted growth. Many adolescent girls suffer from anaemia and they must be made aware of their requirements through better education and literacy they confront.
