AUTHORS:

ABSTRACT:
Less intake of off taking by girls is very harmful because as we know that girls in future need good health to give birth to young ones. If their diet will not good their all work activities will be poor and will stop responding properly about their studies .They will not be able to give proper attention toward their studies. This lack of food or malnutrition is seen most in those girls who are school or college going. Where they spend whole day and they did not take plenty of food to increase level of nutrients in their body. So to check out the overall ratio we make a study report about this going condition of malnutrition. We visit them and ask different questions about their diet which they take in whole day .And in this period of time which type of food they take and how much. We take 145-150 respondents When we get answers and we make report it was concluded that the results we have seen was mainly the income of that family, if her mother father both are doing jobs or his father is doing a good job or business their intake of food will be healthy but if they have lack of food they will show malnutrition. Another thing which we have seen in this report after asking question was about the education of mothers. Either mother was educated or not. Because if mother will be educated she will take care of their children n and will have knowledge about nutrients level. By checking their weight we see different results with different ratios. Key Words: Educated mothers, Lack of nutrition, Lack of knowledge about food, income.
