Dr. P. Kumari

Abstract :

 Present School children are the future citizens whose care is of major concern especially in nutrition to maintain good health. For this purpose, understanding their attitudinal perspective may be helpful to adopt best nutritional attitudes and practices. The survey was conducted among school going children of three local schools and one central both in two classes of 8th and 9th.   The results indicated that central school children were far better than the remaining schools studied. However, the mean scores of central school were also less probably due to the associated false attitudes on the relationship of food, nutrition and health. The findings thus highlighted the need of appropriate nutrition education to the school children and incorporation into the regular curriculum which would be beneficial to develop positive attitudes on nutrition and health.
