Abstract
The present research is an attempt to generate awareness on importance of nutrition for women from the selected tribal areas of Visakhapatnam. The major hitch of our society is to discriminate women; girls are discriminated from the birth. The discrimination results in an attitude of abandon towards girls and correspondingly they receive inadequate nutrition right from childhood. Anemia ruins the health and well-being in women and increases the risk of maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes. Anemia affects half a billion women of reproductive age worldwide. In 2011, 29% (496 million) of non-pregnant women and 38% (32.4 million) of pregnant women aged 15-49 years were anemic Anemia is the most prevalent nutritional deficiency in women especially in the rural and tribal women. This research investigates the prevalence and determinants of anemia among tribal women in Visakhapatnam. The study will be concentrating on women at reproductive age, pregnant women, and lactating women. Under the present study, ignorance is been identified as main cause for anemia; create a colossal impact amongst women about the threat of being anemic., it is essential to advocate nutrition in terms of foods, rather than nutrients to reach the masses.
