Abstract
This booklet for school children provides information while raising awareness about nutrition and a balanced diet, and aims at providing knowledge about the importance and use of nutritious small millets. The inclination of people towards the ready-to-eat and fast foods has contributed to the discard of nutritious millets in the Indian diet. Hence the “Handbook on nutrition for school children” aims at reintroducing small millets into their daily diet to promote healthy living. This book also introduces the importance of a balanced diet and nutritious millets among the farming community through educating their children.
