Summary, etc. The study entitled “Impact of drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) supplement on the nutritional status of school children” was conducted at the Department of Home Science, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, during the year 2012-2014. The major objective was to study the impact of drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) on the nutritional status of primary school children.
The study was conducted at St. Antony’s school of Mararikulam Panchayath in the coastal area of Alappuzha district. The survey was conducted among 300 children of the age group 7- 9 years. Clinical assistance from the physician of Alappuzha medical college was aided in conducting medical camp to screen fifty children with low nutritional status in the age group of 7-9 years. The children were divided into experimental and control group of 30 and 20 respondents respectively. Moringa soup supplement which was formulated by Saranya (2012) in the Department of Home Science and provided at the rate of 15g/child/day to experimental group for sixty days for impact study.
The findings of the socio-economic survey, revealed that majority of respondents belonged to the age group 8 years.
Dietary surveys revealed an absolutely ill balanced diet with an uniform pattern comprising of rice and fish. All the respondents were non- vegetarians and fish was the main non-vegetarian food in the diet. However consumption of vegetables, green leafy vegetables, pulses, egg and milk products were less.
Nutritional status revealed that 66.6 per cent children were below the standard weight and 50 per cent children were below the standard height for their age. Clinical examination after feeding trial indicated that there was decrease in the number of children suffered from lack of hair lustre by 46.62 per cent, dispigmentation by 28 per cent and easy pluckable hair by 33.3 per cent and vitamin A deficiency also decreased to 28.99 per cent. Data on height for age profile, weight for age, mid upper arm circumference ratio, blood haemoglobin and clinical record indicated favourable progress in the case of children belonging to experimental group. Meanwhile in the control group there was no variation. An assessment of anthropometric measurements of the children of experimental group indicated a significant increase when compared with the control group.
Hence, it can be concluded that the Moringa oleifera based supplementary food tried in the above feeding trial is found to be a suitable one for popularizing as a supplementary food for the children and it is recommended to provide in the mid-day meal programme for improving their health status.
