Key Findings from NFHS-3
The 2005-2006 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3), the third in the NFHS series of surveys, provides information on population, health and nutrition
in India and each of its 29 States. The survey is based on a sample of households which is representative at the National and State levels. NFHS-3 provides
trend data on key indicators and includes information on several new topics, such as HIV/AIDS-related behaviour and the health of slum populations. For the
first time, NFHS-3 also provides information on men and unmarried women. In addition, HIV prevalence is measured at the national level and for selected
states.
These Fact Sheets presents provisional information on key indicators and trends at the national level. The NFHS-3 fieldwork was conducted by 18 research organizations between December 2005 and August 2006.
State Reports of the following States have been released and key findings disseminated in their respective State capitals.
The Seminar Presentations of the key findings for different states are also available online.

The great Vitamin A fiasco - World Nutrition - May 2010
Michael Latham
This commentary challenges the wisdom and validity of the current practice
of providing to children between 6 months and 5 years, regular supplements
of massive medicinal doses of vitamin A. Every year, roughly half a billion
capsules are made to be distributed and to be given to around 200 million
children in over 100 ‘targeted’ countries (1,2). One standard method of
dosing of younger children is shown in the picture above, which appears on
the cover of a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) working paper issued
in 2005 (1). In most cases, this medicinal dosing is now being done in
countries and areas where the vitamin A deficiency diseases xerophthalmia
and blinding keratomalacia are now rare, and any clinical signs of vitamin A
deficiency are now uncommon.

Vitamin A saves lives. Sound science, sound policy
Keith P West Jr, Rolf DW Klemm, Alfred Sommer
Vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness, impair health, and be an
underlying cause of death, in young children. Therefore, responsible debate
about its public health importance, and the value of prevention, should be
based on reliable evidence of the extent and severity of deficiency, and on
the impact of interventions.

20 Million US Dollars on Vitamin A Procurement : Out of 32 Million US
Dollars of Annual Budget 2009-2010
The Indian scientists have raised their concern on over emphasis of Vitamin
A supplementation to children. The recent research communications from Prof.
Michael Latham and Prof. C. Gopalan have raised this issue with scientific
evidence. These excerpts from the Annual Report of Micronutrients
Initiatives India an International Non Government Organization, according to
which out of 32 Million US Dollar available in the Annual Budget 2009-2010,
more than 20 Million US Dollars were spent on Vitamin A Procurement and
Interventions. A meager sum of 2.5 Million US Dollars were spent on Iron interventions.
Anaemia is most common nutritional deficiency disorders in the country.
Almost vulnerable age groups have anaemia in the range of 60-90%. The health
consequences of anaemia are highly detrimental to Maternal and Child Health.
The prevalence of Vitamin A deficiency is less than one percent and is
limited to selected geographical pockets in the country. The Keratomalacia
and Nutritional Blindness have disappeared.
It is unfortunate but true that the agencies are trying to implement
interventions for prevention and control of micronutrients disorders
according to their mandate rather than the magnitude and health consequences.
