Adolescents are those who come in the age-group of 10 to 19 years. They constitute one-fifth of the total population of India.They need more attention because of the following reasons:
  1. Adolescents are the most important resource for the future.
  2. Nutrition requirements of adolescents are higher than those of a normal child or adult.
  3. Poor nutrition can lead to deficiency and stunted growth. But the diet available for the Indian adolescents is inadequate in all nutrients. A large number of adolescent girls suffer from anaemia.
