Anaemia is the most common nutritional disorder worldwide. According to WHO adolescent age group is defined as life span between 10-19 years1 .In India the prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls were 56% and this amounts to an average 64 million girls at any point in time2. .The Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS) 2016–2018 is the nationally representative survey to measure hemoglobin, haemoglobinopathies, biomarkers of micro-nutrient deficiencies, diet and social factors in Indian adolescents aged 10–19 years. Using CNNS data, it was found that 28.5% of adolescents (girls: 39.6%, boys: 17.6%) were anemic, with variation by region or state. From 2005~2006 to 2019~2021, National Family Health Surveys NFHS estimates indicate that anemia prevalence among Indian adolescents aged 15~19 years has slightly increased (girls: 55.8% to 59.1%, boys: 30.2% to 31.1%) as per the International Institute for Population Sciences (2022). India's Adolescent Anemia Control Program was initiated as a pilot program in 2000 in five states with three interventions targeting girls aged 10–19 years: weekly iron folic acid (IFA) supplementation, monthly nutrition and health education and biannual de-worming prophylaxis (UNICEF, 2018). In 2018, the program added a ‘test and treat’ strategy with revised coating and dosage for the IFA supplements (aligned to WHO standards) and other selected interventions to tackle non-nutritional causes, re-branded as the ‘Anaemia-Free India Program3 .
