“…Studies employing DD and DDD estimation commonly use multiple survey rounds. However, studies focusing on India (Muralidharan & Prakash, 2017) and particularly those estimating health and nutrition impacts (Chari et al., 2019; von Haaren & Klonner, 2021) often rely on four or fewer rounds due to limited survey data availability.…”

“…The Mamata Scheme's cash benefit of INR 5000 (∼USD 61) forms 5% of average annual per capita income in Odisha (Odisha Economic Survey, 2020) and is similar to the transfer size of another Indian maternal cash transfer program introduced nationwide in 2018, the Pradhan Mantri Matritva Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) (von Haaren & Klonner, 2021). The transfer size of INR 5000 per child is small compared to means‐tested maternal cash transfers in other countries.…”

“…To overcome malnutrition in tribes, various national-level programs are continuously running such as the “ Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana” ( 66 ) and the Scheme for Adolescent Girls under the umbrella of the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme (ICDS) ( 67 ). Recently, the POSHAN 2.0 Abhiyaan (Prime Minister’s Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nutrition) has also been initiated to curb malnutrition and improve nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health problem among the Saharia community, an underprivileged tribal group in the west-central part of India. There are several challenges for India’s TB control program to curtail TB in the Saharia tribe. Malnutrition, poor health sector facilities, lower socio-economic status, and substance abuse are interconnected and synergistic factors contributing to a high burden of TB in the Saharia tribe. In this review, efforts are made to collate the findings of previous studies discussing the causes of high burden of TB in the Saharia tribe, social gaps for mitigating these preventable risk factors of TB in the Saharia tribe, and the plausible solutions for closing these gaps. The concept of Health in All Policies and intersectoral co-ordination is needed for the reduction of TB in the Saharia tribe and to make India TB-free by the year 2025.

Background:The triple burden of malnutrition (TBM) presents a significant threat to the health of mothers and their future generations, particularly in low-and middle-income countries. Though having adequate macro-and micronutrients and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for all, pregnant women require special attention. However, their nutrition status and dietary requirements are not focused upon during their clinical visits. Methods: International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) nutrition checklist was administered to 714 women for the first time in selected private healthcare facilities in 3 states of India. A descriptive analysis of data was done to assess their nutrition status and dietary pattern. Logistic regression was done to evaluate any significant association of their dietary and supplementary intake with the hemoglobin (Hb) levels. The feedback on FIGO checklist administration from 50 healthcare providers (HCPs) was also collected using a survey questionnaire. Result: The analysis of FIGO checklist data has shown that a significant proportion (48%) of women are overweight or obese and 33% are with low Hb. The increased Hb levels were significantly associated with supplement intake. However, the associations observed between any other dietary intake and Hb levels were insignificant. Healthcare providers considered the checklist as an important tool to encourage nutrition-related dialogues with women and recommended its use during clinical visits. Conclusion:The FIGO checklist holds promising potential as a nutrition intervention to curb the increasing burden of malnutrition by keeping health, nutrition status, and weight management in check. However, the challenges associated with its administration should be addressed to have a greater impact.
