The double burden of malnutrition is characterized by coexistence of undernutrition along with overweight and obesity. Despite a fast growing economy, substantial global and national mitigation strategies, India faces double burden of malnutrition, which is still inclining.

Health and nutrition education intervention programmes were found to improve food choices and dietary habits, which further persuaded health promotion and disease prevention among the subjects. The findings of the study strongly endorse the need to implement supplementation intervention programmes to prevent undernutrition and anaemia among adolescent girls.
