Abstract

Supplementary feeding programme (SFP) forms an important target oriented nutrition action programme in India, benefitting mainly pre-schoolers, school children, pregnant and lactating women. These are named differently depending on the beneficiaries, sponsoring agency, type of food and the way it is delivered. In principle they aim at providing additional food to the target group to fill an observed gap between their intake and requirements. The ultimate objective is to improve nutritional status and main, tain it. These programmes are viewed as part of the overall development and fit well into the Government of India's 20 point programme.
