The Importance of food m 1ts relat10n to health was well recogruzed m anc1ent Hmdu Med1cme Sushruta Samh1ta m one of 1ts earher chap ters menttons that bodtly dtseases may be brought about by 1rregulanttes m food and drmk In Hmdu Memcme there ts an exhaustive hst of the nutntlve quahtles of each of the dtfferent types of foods Apart from a detalled treatment of met therapy m vanous mseases a good deal of m formatiOn has been gtven about mcompatl ble foods wruch If taken together are hkely to prove mJunous to health Records of further contnbuhon to our knowledge on food and metettcs tf made durmg the dark ages m Inma between Sushruta and the first ten centunes are not avatlable Books wr1tten m some Inman languages between the first and second mtllenruum A D g1ve an tdea of the culmary art as then pract1sed , such wntlngs also broadly mmcate the health gJ.Vmg properties of certrun foods Sctent1fic research tn nutnt1on can be sa1d to have commenced m Indta only m the 20th century Captam D McCay of the Indtan Memcal ServiCe was the first to undertake SCientific mvestlgahons on met phystque and health H1s researches wruch commenced apprOlomately m 1908 dealt w1th the mfluence of the protem element m Inman mets on the health of the people Dr Chumlal Bose Chem1cal Exarmner to the Government of Bengal also evmced keen mterest m the nutnttve value of foods and dtd much to attract the attention of sctentlfic workers to the SCience of food and nutnhon It IS dunng the last thirty years however that nutnt10n research has grown raptdly m volume thanks to the assiStance rendered by the Inman Councll of Med1cal Research formerly known as the Ind1an Research Fund Assoc1ahon Trus Assoctat10n was formed m 191 I w1th the object of 1mt1atmg and promotmg research m memcal and alhed sctences m lnma It 1s no exaggeratiOn to state that the present status acrueved by nutnhon research m the country has been posstble only on account of the cons1stent and generous finanCial support extended by the Inman Research Fund Assoctatton over a penod of nearly forty years Under 1ts ausp1ces S1r Robert McCarnson commenced h1s mvestlgahons on bertben at Coonoor m 1918 The scope of hlS mqwry soon mcreased and for a few years It was known as ' DefiCiency DISeases Inqu~ry' In 1926, the Royal Com m1SS1on on Agnculture pa1d a v1s1t to Coonoor to acquaint themselves With researches of McCarrison They were Impressed by the results acrueved till then and reahzmg the rmportance offundamental work m nutntlon m relat10n to the food and agncultut a! pohcy of the country recommended the formation of a Central Nutnt10n Research Institute Acting on these recommendations McCarnson subxmtted a proposal for the estabhshlnent of a Nutnt10nal Research Centre under rum at Coonoor The Govermng Body of the Inman Research Fund Assoc1at10n accepted the proposal and converted the mqwry at Coonoor mto the Nutnt10n Research Labora tor1es T1ll 1930 trus was the only mstttutlon prrmanly devoted to researches m nutntJ.on The generous assistance of the Rockefeller Foundation enabled the Government of India to estabhsh the All India Inst1tute of Hyg1ene & Pubhc Health at Calcutta The Institute commenced work m 1932 and mcluded among 1ts vanous departlnents one devoted to research. and teachmg m nutntlon At about the same t1me other workers m India were gettmg mterested m nutnt10n research From 1929 onwards an mcreasmg number of re search proposals were subnutted to the Indian Research Fund Association for financ1al support The Assoc1at1on at that time had no orgaruzatlon to adVIse 1t on these proposals nor did 1t make any attempt to co ordinate the work on nutntlon done m the country tlll the year 1936 The Nutntlon AdVISory Comnuttee of the Indian Research Fund Assoc1at10n was maugurated m 1936 by the then V1ceroy and Governor General Lord Lmhthgow A year later th1s Comm1ttee was recogmzed by the Government oflndia as the National Nutntlon Adv1sory Comnuttee The mam functions of the Comnuttee have been however to adVIse the lndmn Research Fund Assoc1at1on m planrung co ordination and promo t10n of nutntlon research Not mfrequently the Government have obtamed the adVIce of the Comnuttee m matters of nutrotlonal mterest Smce 1ts formation this Comnuttee has coiiSldered numerous proposals for mvestlga tlons subnutted to the Ind1an Research Fund Assoc1at1on It has also reVIewed each year the progress recorded m several enqumes supported by the Association and the work done by the ProVInCial and State nutntlon orgaruzatlons The growmg volume of such work led the Comm1ttee m 1943 to take stock of the results acrueved w1th a v1ew to co ordinatmg researches m nutntlon and drawmg up a plan for the future The work on nutnhon subsequently has followed m outlme the plans formulated m 1943 The Comnuttee was also called upon to adv1se the Health Survey and Development Comnuttee (Bhore Comrmttee) of the Government of India m 1ts task of planmng for post war development m medical rehef education and research and health orgamzatlon and serVIces The Nutn tlon AdVISory Comnuttee prepared and subm1tted a memorandum on nutntlon research proVIncial nutnt10nal orgaruzatlons long and short term measures for the 1mprovement of nutnt10n of the Indian people and population and food supplies It 1s gratlfymg to record that the memoran dum was accepted m toto by the Bhore Committee and was mcorporated m 1ts recommendations One result of plannmg for nutntlon research has been the estabhsh ment of ' regtonal nutntlon research umts under the lnd1an Research Fund Assoc1at1on to ensure contmUlty of work at certam selected centres and to proVIde secunty of tenure to workers engaged m nutnt1on research The research uruts were estabhshed at the centres wh1ch had a good record of earher work m nutnt10n and where fac1ht1es for further work and expansiOn were ava!lable Two umts were estabhshed m 1944--one at the Seth G S Medical College Bombay, and the other at the Uruvemty B10chenucal Laboratory Dacca Subsequently two other regtonal umts have been formed one at the Umvemty College of SCience & Technology Calcutta and the other at the Indian Institute of Saence Bangalore W1th the parnnon of the country the umt at Dacca had t~ be closed

2 The record of work done at these umts Js Impressive and although no specific mentiOn has been made m particular of the mdiVIduallaboratones their contnbutJon as also that of other workers m the field has been subs tanual m the advancement of knowledge of nutntJon m India "Even after the estabhshment of regional nutntJon umts the Indian Research Fund AssoCiation has contmued to proVIde financial support to enqwnes on vartous aspects of nutritional science undertaken by mdiVIdual workers from other mstJtutJons The work done on these enqutnes has also been mcluded m the general review of the nutntJon work done m India (Section III)

The formation of nutntion sect10ns m the provmCJal pubhc health departments after 1937 was a s1gmficant development Th1s had 1ts ongm m the desire on the part of the State Governments to translate and apply m practice the knowledge gamed m the laboratory The Nutrition Research Laboratones the newly formed Nutntion Research Umts the UmverSJtJes and other InstJtUtJOns m India were the seats of ongm of such knowledge and there was no doubt that the State Governments were best situated to apply It m pubhc health practice

Smce the year I 934 short term courses m nutntion are bemg g1ven annu ally at the All India Institute of Hygiene & Pubhc Health Calcutta In the year 1937 fac1hties were provided at the Nutntion Research Labora tones Coonoor for the trammg of medical and techmcal personnel The State Governments deputed sUitable candidates for tra.J.ntng at both these centres wtth a VIew to employmg them m the1r respective nutnt10n orgamzatJons It IS mdeed unfortunate to have to record that the lnttial enthusiasm shown by the State Governments did not last long enough to result m the establishment of nutnt1lln orgamzations m all the States Only m B1har PunJab and Hyderabad States were the tra.J.ned personnel employed and ut1hzed for pubhc health nutntion work In these three regiOns the newly appomted nutn!Jon officers provtded w1th fac1hties which were none too generous earned out much valuable work before and dunng the war The nutntJ.on sectiOn m Bthar was proVIded w1th laboratory facthtJ.es as well Durmg the war Baroda Central ProVInces Bombay Madras and Travancore orgamzed nutntJon sectiOns Recently nutrition sections have been formed m Assam Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal The staff funds and faCJhtJ.es proVIded m the vanous provmces and States have not been on a umform basts In most cases the proVISion of funds and fac1ht1es for work has been very meagre In spite of this the nutntton officers have turned out excellent work w1thin the hirutat1ons set by the above mennoned pauCity of funds and staff as can be seen by reference to Secnon II deahng w1th the work m the States These nutrinon orgaruzatJ.ons have been of great help to the1r Governments m tJ.mes of stress such as food shortage outbreak of deficiency diseases nutntJon of displaced persons m rehef camps etc It must be adrrutted however that most of the State Governments have not reahzed to the full the s1gm ficance of the preventJ.ve aspects of nutntJ.on In Indian laboratones much bas1c knowledge h¥ been accumulated Its apphcatJon for the benefit of the populatJ.on m general shouJd rest With those who are respons1ble for lookmg after people s health It has to be confessed that so far as nutnnon IS concerned this respons1b1hty has been only part1ally discharged Much rema.J.ns to be done m the field of pubhc health nutrinon and 1t 1S hoped that m future the States wJ!l not lag behmd m their spheres of actiVIty

ASSAM Pubhc health nutntJon work m Assam has been sporachc With the exceptJon of a chet and nutnt10n survey among tea garden labourers theie was httle to record till 194 7 In that year a temporary post of nutntion officer was created The newly appomted officer who worked for only a short peuod earned out a few chet and nutnt10n surveys The d1ets of the poor people were Inadequate and unbalanced the consumption of p10tec tive foodstuffs bemg partJcularly meagre Although gross nutntional deficiencies were not seen mlld and chrome malnutntion would appear to be prevalent among the pom er classes The State of Assam has m Vlew the formation of a nutntion sectiOn m the Pubhe Health Department and has the requiSite tramed personnel for the same but owmg to finanCial strmgency no action has been taken WEST BENGAL In 1937 a Nutntion Section was estabhshed m the then unchVlded Bengal Due to the untrmely death of the nutnt10n officer soon after the actiVIttes of the sectiOn were .cut short to be rev1ved only m 1950 Some work was however done durmg the mtervenmg penod The assessment of nutnt10nal status was earned out m 14 783 school chtldren and 2 681 adults from chfferent economic groups D1et surveys m farmhes mst1tu tions and chsplaced persons were 6;o earned out For a bnef mterval a nutnt10n officer from a ne1ghbourmg provmce was placed on duty to adv1se Government m the matter of rehef and rehab1htation of sufferers from famme m Bengal In 1940, the Government of Bengal constituted a Nutntion Com m1ttee to adviSe It m matters connected With nutntion The Com m1ttee had as Its members some d1stmgmshed nutnt10n experts m Incha attached to scientific mstitutions m Calcutta and It 1s largely to their voluntary efforts that mterest m pubhc health nutntion work was mam tamed m Bengal durmg the last twelve years The advice and services of the Nutntion Comrmttee m connection w1th measures for deahng with starvation cases and destitutes dunng the Bengal Famme of 1943 deserve mention It must be achrutted however that their efforts have not maten ally advanced the cause of pubhc health nutntion m the provmce because the Government chd not take 1t up a~ a part of Its preventive programme till March 1950 BlliAR Bihar was one of the first among the Indtan States to take active mterest m nutntion work A modest begmmng was made late m 1937 by orgamzmg chet and nutnt10n surveys Before W.Velve months were over a self contained umt under the name Bihar NutritiOn Scheme was establiShed Withtn the Pubhc Health Departinent It was staffed w1th a nutrition officer m charge a medical assiStant a chem~cal assiStant and the necessary field clencal and techrucal personnel The officer had a labora tory at hiS chsposal to supplement ills field mvest1gations and to conduct

4 experunents m the laboratory In thts respect B1har orgaruzatlon was better conce1ved and as the results showed better fitted to tackle nutntlon problems Withm the State than m most other provmces and States m India The Nutntlon Scheme has now been funct10mng continuously for I 3 years and has a satisfactory record of work as the followmg account will show

D1et Surveys -Up to I949 diet surveys by da1ly 'we1ghment of foodstuffs methods have been earned out m 5 20 I fam•hes consutmg of 30 2 I 9 mdlviduals and cove• mg 12 out of I 6 d1stncts of B1har The farmhes were sampled from vanous econom1c groups mostly however they were from the lower middle and poor classes The diets were found madequate m protective foodstuffs-a fault" hich iS common to all poor lnd•andietanes Of particular Interest were (a) a repeat survey m 200 fam1hes after a penod of five years and (b) diet sm veys m mdustual workers i e iron and steel factory workers of J amshedpur and coalfield workers m jhar1a In repeat surveys earned out at the !lme of acute food shortage it was found that ce1 eal mtake had shghtly mcreased and the cons ... mpt!On of protective foods had sunk to a lower level Among the mdustnal workers an attempt was made to study the relation between mcome and diet It was observed both at Jamshedpur and at Jhana that With the mcrease m mcome the consumption of non leafy vegetables ods and fats m1lk and m1lk products frmts flesh foods and sugar and Jaggery moreased On the other hand there was a marked decrease m the mtake of green leafy vegetables wh1ch m fact a1e cheaper than the other vanety These observations and others made m some surveys earned out before the days of food shortage lead one to beheve that 1gnorance of healthy food habits was to a certam extent responsible for the consumption of unbalanced diets Nutrition Surveys -In conJunction with diet surveys m some cases and mdependently m others over 42 ooo chddren have been exammed durmg the last I 3 years for the evaluatiOn of nutnt10nal status Beside recording the age he1ghts and we1ghts of these chlidren a chmcal appra1sal of nutntlon was made and the Incidence of chmcal mamfestations of nutn t10nal deficiency states recorded With the exception of Chota Nagpur plateau (where mamly the aborgmal and sem1 aborgmal tnbes were surveyed) the defiCiency states hke phrynoderma xerophthalmia angular stomat1t1s sore tongue etc were not prevalent m Bihar Are survey of some groups of chlidren m the days of food shortage revealed a greater Incidence of general malnutntion although the mCldence of marufest Signs and symptoms had decreased Tlus apparent paradox was later on found to be corroborated by observatiOns m the pnsoners of war camps One piece of field mvestigat!On deserves specml mention In tile days when the etiology of angular stomatitiS was stlil uncertam a therapeutic tnal With nboflavm was conducted and proved lughly successful Tlus work thus provtded additional ev1dence on the role of nboflavm in tile causatwn of angular stomatitiS Laboratory Invesagaaons -These have covered a Wide field, such as (a) analyses offoodstuffs {b) the determmat10n of bwlogtcal value ofprotems by ammal and human expenments {c) studieS on the effect of processmg on nutnent contents of foodstuffs and (d) chmcal studies Over 300 different foodstuffs were analysed for thetr proXlffiate pnnc1ples and

The dietary habits of the rural and semi urban population were surveyed m 1939 and m assoetatton With 1t a chmcal exarmnatton of school children m the same area was conducted for the evaluatiOn of nutnhonal status The Health Directorate of the Provmce has been concentratmg Its efforts mamly m the field of education and propaganda by the usual methods EAST PUNJAB

The amount of work done m (uJ1div1ded) PunJab before 1940 was second only to that done m B1har durmg the same penod An mvesllga tton on lnd1an dietary habits and nutntton and physique oflndian children was commenced m the PunJab by Dr D C Wilson m 1936 With a grant from the Royal Society Loildon and some other orgamzattons from outside India Th1s worker collected a great deal of mformation m that provmce and also from the Central Provmces OriSsa and Hyderabad State In 1938 the Government of PunJab appomted their own Nutnhon Officer who also earned out diet and nutntion surveys and analyses of local food stuffs Among these the mvest1gations m Kangra Valley are s1gmficant Several diseases of nutnhonal Origm are found Within this distriCt the most Important bemg simple goitre rickets and osteomalaCia Goitre IS common m the sub Himalayan region all along the northern ]?order of lnd1a and Kangra Valley forms part of that regron Some time after 1940 a field expenment to study the effect of prov1dmg todized common salt was under taken m this regton unfortunately however no records of the progress and outcome of the experiment are available

Mter the part1t10n of Inwa the East PunJab Government appomted a Nutnt10n Officer but the cond1t1ons m the provmce have been far from normal owmg to the aftermath of parlltlon and the movement of large howes of populat10n across the fronUe1 The Nutr1t10n Officer has been saddled w1th numerous other dut1es and has not been able to devote atten tlon to nutnt10n work He was however able to carry out surveys m some of the rehef camps mtended for d1splaced persons The officer was able to detect nume10us cases of malnutnt10n h1s opm10n bemg subsequently co!Toborated by other VISiting experts These surveys m rehef camps matenalJy helped the Government m 1mprovmg the COnWtlOnS by ensurmg quahtauve and quantitative adequacy of wets provided for the refugees

In Or1ssa there 1s no provlSlon for a Nutnt10n Section m the Pubhc Health Department The actiVities of the latter have however smce the year 1940 mcluded wet and nutnt10n surveys From 1940 to 1942 surveys were undertaken m Pun D1stnct Angul subwV1s10n and Sambalpur DlStnct These covered the low mcome groups from about Rs 2/ to Rs 3/ and above per month per member of the fam1ly Children of these farmhes were exammed for s1gns and symptoms of deficiency diSease The diet surveys revealed the presence of wetary defects common also m other parts of Inwa Over 10 ooo children were exanuned of wh1ch only 6 75 per cent could be classified chrucally as bemg m a good state ofnutnt10n

Repeat surveys m the same locahtles were earned out m 1944 45 and nunor changes m wetary compos1Uon were noticed A companson of the results obtamed m the two nutnt10n surveys showed that there were marked changes m the mc1dence of certam defic1ency symptoms e g m angular stomauus there was a marked mcrease m phrynoderma a decrease whereas m xerophthalmia the mc1dence was more or less stat10nary

In order to correlate the dtetary defic1enaes of the populatiOn w1th the avadab1hty of actual foodstuffs m the provmce the food production m the proVInce was rev1ewed m 1945 takmg mto consideration the rmport export seed and hvestock reqUirements In accordance With the reqUire ments of a balanced met this State had a surplus of cereals pulses and fruits while there was deficiency of 1n1lk vegetables fats and Oils sugars meat fish and eggs For the purpose of calculation the meat eating population was taken to be 56 per cent and the populatiOn figures were based on 1941 census -A comparative assessment was agam taken m 1947 wluch showed no Improvement m the food supply except a shght mcrease m mdk and fruits

As a result of the finmngs of the nutntion surveys the State Govern ment sanctiOned free dJ.stnbutJon of seeds of vegetables to selected poor famihes among the aborigmals Supplementary foodstuffs and multlvitamm tablets were dJ.strtbuted m matermty and child welfare centres pnmary schools orphanages rehef camps etc The mid day meal m schools have not yet proved popular only about 25 schools are supplymg snack lunches Industnal canteens are gradually bemg established Nutnaon Education and Propaganda -The Department has pubhshed popular pamphlets m Hmm Marathi and Urdu on some nutritional subjects It also orgamzes nutntwn sectwns m vanous exhibi tlons Withm the proVInce Lathynsm -In the year 1945 thete was an outbreak ofLathynsm m the provmce senously affectmg four dJ.stncts An extensive field mvesttga bon was made by the Nutntion Officer and the mcidence dunng the time was recorded to be 8 426 cases (new and old) m the \\hole of the provmce At the Instance of the Pubhc Health Department the Provincial Govern­ ment passed the Teora Control Order (1946) prolubiting sale or purchase of Teora m pure form one could sell or purchase Teora (L sallvus) only m a miXture With other grams m a proportiOn of less than one thrrd of the total grams The results of this step on the mcidence of Lathynsm m the proVInce are not kno\\ n HYDERABAD The nutritiOn section m the State Pubhc Health Department was started m the year 1939 with only a small staff but m the year 1948 thts sectton was expanded and changed mto a Bureau of Nutntlon and Industnal Hyg~ene 9 From the mcepuon of the Nutntion SectiOn very extenSIVe wet and nutrition surveys of both urban and rural areas of Hyderabad and 1ts rustncts have been earned OUt With a VIeW tO ascertammg the Wetary habits of the people and the extent of the defic1ency diseases malnutntion and the economic status of the people Bes1des extensive surveys m the lower m1ddle and upper classes of people and several msutuuonal enqUines m the C1ty of Hyderabad nme d1stncts have exhaustively been surveyed m d1fferent seasons of the year m order to have a true p1cture of the dietary habits of the people m general Several repeat surveys were also carr1ed out In all 125 surveys concernmg 7 500 fam1lies and 28 ooo mwVIduals have been completed Nearly 50 ooo children m rural and urban areas have been exammed for defic1ency states and an assessment of the state of nutnt1on and phys1cal development of more than 20 ooo school children was made and-the report has been published Nutnuon propaganda by means of leaflets and reports m Enghsh Urdu Telegu and Marathi 1s also earned out The educauonal actiVIty m this field appears to have made a large number of people nutrition con soous The Government has prohibited excesslVe milling of nee It has opened mobile canteens m Warangal Gulbarga and Hyderabad C1ty Industnal concerns are orgamzmg canteens for meals and snacks m mcreas mgnumber

Early m 1943 the Government of Bombay mtroduced rat1omng of foodgrams m Bombay City Dunng the latter part of the same year a Nutntion Committee was formed with the obJect of adv1smg the Govern ment on the nutnuonal 1mphcat1ons of rationmg and on other matters relatmg to nutntlon m general A Nutnt1on Secuon was established by the Government m July 1944 w1th a Nutnuon Officer m charge In September 1949 this temporary secuon m the CIVIl Supphes Department and the Department of Nutnt•on and Expenmental Pathology at the Haffkme Institute were amalgamated mto a permanent department of Nutnt10n of the Government of Bombay The department as It now eXIsts IS staffed With med•cal personnel chemists and dietitians wtth the necessary techmcal staff and IS also provided with well eqUipped laboratones In additiOn to the work undertaken by the provmc1al department of nutntlon there eXIsts m the Seth G S Medical College a Regional Nutntlon Research Umt established by the Indian Council of Medical Research The work undertaken at the Umt Is mamly confined to labora tory expenmentation and mvestigauon and will be referred to elsewhere The record of work m the proVInce g1ven below will show that although the Government of Bombay was slow to undertake pubhc health nutnt1on work It has already built up an orgamzat1on capable of dealmg With vanous aspects of the problem

Ibet and Nntnuon Surveys -The department has camed out over 450 surveys m fam1hes and mst1tut1ons The former were sampled IO from the lower mtddle and poor classe~ Among the mstJ.tutJ.ons were mcluded certJ.fied schools remand rescue and foundhng homes backward class hostels and vanous hostels attached to schools colleges and other mstJ.tut10ns from all over the provmce A survey on 42 famthes m the famme stncken dtstrtct. of Btjapur had also been earned out m 1945 In the Ctty of Bombay 1tself there have been recorded a few surveys on wage earners and lower mtddle classes of Deccam GuJaratJ. and Pars1 farmhes ' Recently the department earned out raptd chmcal nutntton surveys m prtmary and secondary schools m Bombay Ctty and at a rehef camp for dtsplaced persons near Bombay Of late the cond1t10ns regardmg chet and nutnt10n m thlS and other rehef camps m tht proVlnce have been rece1v mg spectal attent10n from the department both from-the prevenhve and curattve standpomt

defiaent m protect1ve foodstuffs and hence the mtake of some essent1al nutnents hke VItamms and mmerals was madequate Recently a d1et survey was earned out among alcohohc ex addtcts nearly two years after the mtroducb.on of complete prohib1b.on It was found that although the farmhes had more money at the1r d1sposal to spend on food the dtets showed no 1mprovement over those extsb.ng m pre prohib1t10n days The health cond1ttons were also not much different ApproXImately 34 ooo children m dtfferent parts of the State were exammed for the appraisal ofthe1r nutnhonal status The data for he1ght and we1ght have been statistically analysed and reference charts for height weight age have been prepared The children were found usually under nounshed and showed signs and symptoms suggestive of deficienaes of v1tarmns A and B complex The Bureau has also taken part m the amehorabve schemes such as rmd day meal programmes m schools and dtstnbut10n of free milk to ex pectant and nursmg women mfants and children up to five years The foodstuffs for such programmes were proVIded by the Government of Madras In the year 1948 over 2 95 ooo children received free m1d day meals and over 28 ooo

Government of Travancore establiShed a Pubhc Health Laboratory m 1932 comb1mng the work of four eXIStmg laboratones of bactenology vaccme chermcal exarmner and entomology A Nutnbon SectiOn was added to the laboratory m 1941 This works under the direction of the Supenntendent ofthe Laboratory The section has earned out dtet surveys m families and InStitUtiOns and exannned over 21 ooo cluldren for nutntional deficiencies Expenments to demonstrate the beneficial effects of nnd day meals were undertaken The use of supple mentary foodstuffs hke separated nnlk powder yeast multi purpose food groundnut milk etc was demonstrated by feedtng expenments on school children Diet surveys were earned out m rural and urban areas wherem famihes of dtfferent economic levels were mcluded In the lowest

The Central Government reahzed the Importance of havmg exp.ert nutntional adVIce parucularly when they were makmg attempts to combat the food situatiOn durmg World War II The MmiStry of Food mstituted a nutntJOn section m 1945 to assist them m problems of ratiomng and food supphes

In November 1947 the Mlmstry of Health appomted an Adviser m Nutnt10n With the functiOn of adV1smg the Mmistry on nutnt10nal matters and also to serve as a cleanng house for mformat1on collected from the States Soon after his appmntment the officer was called upon to deal with the problem ofmalnutntion m rehef camps for displaced persons Follow mg the partition of India m 194 7 the Government had to deal with the problem of refugees migrating to India from PakiStan m millions These were temporarily dJstnbuted m rehef camps spread all over the country The population of the camps vaned enormously In some there were 2 ooo mdtV!duals m others the number was go ooo The duration of stay of displaced persons m the camps was vanable dependmg upon the abihty of the Government to make permanent arrangements for thelf rehabilitatiOn After a stay of five to SIX months m these crowded camps signs and symptoms of nutntional defiCiency began to appear among the Inmates Anrem1as, mght bhndness, phrynoderma angular stomatitis xerophthalmia nutntlonal a:dema spongy gums nckets osteomalacia and gastro mtestmal disorders were the vanous conmtJOns which had to be treated and prevented The Nutntwn Adviser m collaboratiOn With the State Nutntlon Officers was able to treat the more acute cases and adv1se on the changes m d1ets and supplements to be giVen Fresh whole mllk mllk powder and mult1 v1tamm tablets were d1stnbuted m large quantities Several voluntary orgamzat10ns m Inma and abroad supphed predigested cereals and other foods Gradually the Situation could be brought under control

The 1mmens1ty of the problem cannot be JUdged by the above des cnptlon Malnutnt10n m rehef camps could only be prevented by heroiC efforts The situation gradually eased as rehab1htat1on progressed NUTRITION ORGANIZATION IN THE ARMED FORCES In January 1943 a special nutnt10n section was orgamzed m the Hyg1ene and Pathology Branch of the Memcal Directorate at General Headquarters W1thm a year the SectiOn was expanded and effective ha1son work w1th the vanous armies mamtamed through staff appomtments at the G H Q and the H Qs of the three arm1es The orgamzat10n had to deal w1th subjects such as (a) the composition of m1htary rations {b) development and use of special rat10ns (c) superviSion of the nutritiOnal state of the troops and (d) nutritiOnal research A network of m1htary Food Laboratones was created to ensure that foodstuffs purchased for the armed forces satiSfied h1gh standards of quahty D1et surveys were earned out m the umts and rmhtary hospitals Improved rat10n scales for the Inman solmer were developed Before the war he used to be g1ven a ration wluch was nutnt10nally not qmte adequate Early m World War II the standards for recrmts JOmmg the army were lowered considerably w1th the result that the new recrmts were often of poor physique and earned vanous stigmata ofmalnutntlon Conmtlons such as dry lustreless and rough skm phrynoderma nasolabial seborrhre~c dermatosis angular stomatitiS gloSSitis xerosiS of the conJunctiva etc were commonly found among the recrmts Ana:m1a of varying degrees was also a very common feature Investigations were earned out at some recrmting centres by a specially constituted Anrenu.a InvestigatiOn Team to test the efficacy of the standard army ration m restormg the recrmts to normal health It was found that we1ght gam of 5 to 10 lbs took place Withm four months further gams m we1ght bemg slower At the same t1me most of the s1gns of malnutntlon msappeared Ana:m1a responded qmte well on the standard army ratwn the effect could be enhanced by admmJS termg 3 grams of ferrous sulphate per day by mouth A supplement of 16 ounces of milk to the above met md not add to the hre~nop01etlc response obtamed Without 1t The recruits were often found harbourmg hook worms The ha:moglobm level could be 1m proved m a maJonty of mfeated recrmts merely by the Improved d1et With ferrous sulphate even Without dewormmg It was the expenence durmg the last war that Inman troops suffered more from anrenu.as and gastro mtestlnal diSorders not unhke sprue syndrome, etc., than their British colleagues under similar adverse combat conditions. Sickness recovery rates among the former were also slower. A poor nutritional background oflong duration is believed to be the cause. A large number of investigations on sprue, marasmus, nutritional redema, optic atrophy, etc. were undertaken on prisoners of war especially from the Japanese camps. The nutrition organization within the armed forces and the military Food Laboratories have been maintained after the war although on a some· what reduced scale. An effective liaison is maintained with nutrition scientists on the civil side. After India became independent in I 94 7, the responsibility of looking after the nutrition and health of the armed forces has devolved fully on Indian shoulders and it is expected that the Defence Nutrition Organization v;ill be able to C

22 Medical Research Some general observations regarding the results w1ll be made m the present section Till 1935 there was very little quantitative mformatlon about the Indian diets and dietary habits It was however generally known that the d1ets of poor Indians who formed the bulk of the Indian population were defective m more ways than one T1us ImpressiOn had gamed support from the earlier work of McCay m Bengal and Uttar Pradesh and of McCarnson at Coonoor It was necessary however to know the actual defects 1f only to be able to mterpret m more specific terms m the light of newer knowledge of nutrition their effect on the health of the people Such knowledge would also help m devlSlng steps wherever possible to correct the eXISting defects The new techmque of diet surveys was extensively applied m the study of diets smce the year 1936 Up to 1942 about 139 surveys had been earned out m different parts of India extending from Travancore to Kash m1r The results were very mterestlng The surveys confirmed that cereals formed the mamstay of the Indian diets providing nearly 8o per cent of the energy contamed m the whole diet a situation w1uch IS not nutritionally desirable and IS at vanance with sound nutntion pnnc1ples and practice Besides the diets were deficxent m protective foodstuffs hke vegetables frmts mxlk and mdk products The consumption of flesh foods even among those havmg no rehg1ous objection to their use was extremely meagre From the standpomt of energy reqmrements the d1ets were margmal the average bemg 2 534 calones per day per man value The average protem consumption per man value was 73 grammes and that of total fat 23 grammes per day Recently attempts have been made m a few provxnces to evaluate the results of the acute food shortage w1uch was felt for the first t1me m 1943 and w1uch appears now to have become almost chrome The results of diet surveys m post war years show that m the VIllages there has been no gross devxatmn m the dietary pattern whereas m the urban areas the calone mtake of the low mcome groups has fallen lower than the pre war average figure and the consumption of protective foodstuffs has decreased further

Nutntlon Surveys -The relation between poor diets and the health of the people was mvestlgated by means of nutnt1on surveys among the c1uld population Children are admittedly more susceptible to dietary faults and hence more likely to show climcal evxdence of continued malnouriShment Several nutntlon surveys were therefore undertaken mostly m conJunction wxth the diet surveys referred to above Owxng to the fact that cnter1a of evaluating nutntlonal status had not been sufficiently well defined before the war and the judgment of the nutntmnal status had to depend upon the chmcal expenence of the mvestlgator the only observa tlons m w1uch compariSon xs possible are those regardmg the presence of frank signs of deficxency disease B1tot s spots angular stomatitis and phrynoderma were the signs which have been recorded by almost all the workers Their mc1dence Vaned from provxnce to provmce thus B1tot s spots were the 1ughest (9 per cent) among school c1uldren m Travancore and least 1n PunJab Angular stomatitis was found to the extent of 18 5 per cent m Onssa where the mc1dence considerably exceeded that found 1n any other provmce Phrynoderma InCidence waS-less than one per cent m Bengal Assam and Delhi ProVInces but m others 1t vaned from 5 to 15 per cent The mformation on other deficiency diseases IS not avatlable

The Nutntion Advtsory Committee of the Indian Council of Medical Research (formerly the Indian Research Fund Association) reahzed the necessity of evolvmg umform methods for the evaluation of nutnt10nal status m India and wtth that end m vtew has formulated certam proposals for further study Already work along these hnes 1s m progress m different States and 1t 1s hoped that m the near future much matenal will be collected which will not only giVe a correct ImpressiOn of the nutntlonal state of Indian children but wtll also test the vahdity of some of the methods used m the evaluation

NUTRITIONAL DISEASES

In India certam nutntional diseases are endermc such as goitre m the Himalayas and sub Himalayan reg10n beuben m Northern Ctrcars of Madras State fluorosis m the Ceded Distncts of Madras State and lathynsm m Bihar Of these the first two can be classed among deficiency diseases and the latter two as haVIng ongmated due to mgestion m excess of a nutnent or a poisonous constituent occurnng m association wtth a foodstuff Then agam other nutnt10nal diseases occur m sporadic out breaks Even m common hospital practice cases of nutnttonal ongm present themselves m fanly large numbers Either several of them pass unnoticed or their Sigruficance m relation to the nutnt10n of the general populatiOn ts not suffictently recogmzed Thus mfantile benben diarrhoea redema nckets and keratomalacia m chtldren ana:nuas chrome non speCific diarrhreas dermatoses nutntional redema pellagra osteomalaCia etc m adults are some of the numerous examples of cases bemg treated m hospitals but not at present attracting sufficient attention to ment speCial mvestigation The fact that mostly the patients commg for treatment show Signs of deficiency m whtch the picture IS modified and oftentimes confusmg renders 1t all the more necessary to study such conditions more carefully With a VIew to treatmg them adequately and successfully It IS true that mformatton on eptdem10logy ret10logy and chmca features of dtseases hke goitre bertben and lathynsm had been collected b the p10neer work of McCarnson Stott Acton Kamath and Raman anc others Thts mformat10n was no doubt of great value m our understanwn1 of these speclfic dtseases but there eXIsted a wtde gap m our knowledg regarwng those nutnt10nal WSOrders WhiCh COUld not be referred to QUI smgle cause but whtch resulted from the mteractton of more .than on< deficiency or tmbalance of nutnents These could only be stuwed b• spectal chmcs devoted to the mvestlgatlons on nutnt10nal dtsorders The Nutntlon Research Laboratones estabhshed m 1943 a speoa Nutnt10n Chmc for the purpose of selectmg mvesttgatmg and treatm1 cases of nutnt10nal diSorders The chmc whtch worked for four years a the Stanley Hospttal Madras was later transferred to Coonoor m 194 to work m close collaboration With the parent orgamzatlon Already nch harvest of scientific knowledge on some nutnttonal wseases has beer reaped Such wverse conwtlons as chrome nonspecific nutntlonal war rhreas nutntlonal oedema burnmg feet syndrome skm wsorders of nutn tlonal ongm etc have been stuwed m detatl These stuwes have addec much to our knowledge about the etiology btochemtstry pathology anc treatment ofthe above conwtlons The work done by the Nutntton Clmu has proved of such s1gmficance and ut1hty that a fully eqmpped cbmc ha been established by the State Government m Bombay and the orgamzattor of another m Madras IS under constderatlon of the Madras Government There ts httle doubt that there IS room for more such chmcs m the res1 of the country The outbreak of nutntlonal deficiency wseases m rehef camps fm wsplaced persons and the methods used for combatmg them have alread) been referred to Full advantage of thts opportumty for mvestlgattona purposes could not be taken owmg to the tmmenstty of numbers mvolved and the need for urgent assistance Recently however the NutntiOD Department m Bombay State has earned out certam mvest1gat10ns OD protem defioency states and nonspecific d1arrhreas of nutnt10nal ong1D among the mmates of rehef camps The expenence gamed m the wagnos1. and management of such cases wtll prove of great value to others mterested m the subject Full detruls of these mvestlgattons are expected to be pub liShed shortly There are other diseases related wrectly or mwrectly to faulty wet. whtch reqmre mvesttgatton m the field as well as the chmc These are stmple gmtre lathynsm eptdermc dropsy fluorosis etc Gottre 1s found to occur m the sub Himalayan reg10n lathynsm m B1har eastern Uttar Pradesh and parts of Central Inwa Ep1dermc dropsy IS associated With the consumption of adulterated or contammated mustard ml and 1s found mostly m Bengal Bthar and as far west as the Uttar Pradesh Whereas s1mple gmtre 1s due to the deficiency of 10wne m soil water and food fluorosis ts due to the presence m excess of fluorme m dnnkmg water Fluorosis IS common m Kurnool Nellore and Guntur D1stncts of Madras State and m the adjotmng diStricts of the Hyderabad State A considerable amount of work on goitre has been done m Inwa What IS wanted 1s an orgamzed tnal to test the efficacy of 1owzed salt m decreasing the incidence of the condition. Similar trials in other countries have proved highly successful and now should be undertaken in India. The problems of fluorosis and lathyrism on which some work has been done require urgent attention on the part of public health autho· rities. They can best be solved in·association with nutrition workers. In contrast .to the above, the investigations on Epidemic Dropsy have made satisfactory progress. The researches of Lal and his colleagues at the All· India Institute of Hygiene & Public Health, Calcutta, have demonstrated beyond doubt the association of epidemic dropsy with the consumption of mustard oil contaminated with oil of Argemone mexicana seeds. Tests have been developed for detecting such contamination, a toxic alkaloid has been isolated from the argemone oil which probably is responsible for epidemic dropsy. It now rests with the public health authorities to take suitable steps for the. protection of the population against this disease. ' SECTION-IV FOOD TECHNOLOGY In India the advances m the science of technology of foods have been few The reason for this state of affatrs lS not far to seek The simple food habits of the people lack of any appreciable surplus of foodstuffs mabihty to purchase processed and refined foods and lack of enterpnse can be considered as the mam factors for the absence of orgamzed food processmg mdustry m India Advances m technology and development of mdustrtes are mterdependent ThlS lS true of all mdustnes In India one has seen the spectacle of certam mdustnes usmg methods of production long discarded m other techmcally advanced countnes Food mdustry has been no exception Apart from the sugar and hydrogenated 01l mdustnes l"luch have developed considerably durmg the last twenty years there iS hardly any other wluch can be said to be run on modern sctenttfic hnes There iS no doubt that the manufacture of starch biscwts boiled sweets frwt preserves and squashes has gamed certam ground particularly under the impetus of World War II but science of food technology has contnbuted httle if any to their development As a whole however it must be said that food mdustry has not had any appreciable mfluence on the food habits of the people A reference to hydrogenated 01l mdustry has been made m SectJon III any descnpt10n of sugar mdustry iS trrelevant at this JUncture The followmg descnptJon covers only such mdustnes as deal With processmg of foodstuffs which even m the unprocessed state form the components of our daily diets In such cases processmg iS mtended either (a) to improve the foodstuff from the standpomt of appearance palatabihty or nutrttive value or (b) to preserve the pemhable foodstuffs, Wheat -In India a large port10d of wheat iS either ground m homes or m small motor dnven gnnding machmes (chakkzs) There were a few large roller flour mills m the country These were producmg semohna and white flour The by product was bran wluch was mamly used as cattle feed Durmg World War II the manufacture of semolma and flour was prohibited with the effect that roller m1lls had to remam idle The grmding mills produce alta which IS wheat flour of 95 per cent to g8 per cent extractJon The home ground alta iS also of smular extractJon The coarse bran may or may not be removed before the alta lS used m makmg chappatts In the Umted Kmgdom the extractJon rate of flour was raised from 70 per cent to 85 per cent durmg World War II It was then found that the retentJon of a large proportJon of phytm m the high extract10n flour mterfered with the absorpuon of calcmm Th1s effect was countered by mixmg at the source calcmm carbonate With the m!lled flour In India sim!lar attempts failed for want ofany orgamzed large scale m!lhng mdustry The alta reqmred by the Armed Forces however lS bemg fortified With cal cmm carbonate

Rtce -A brief account oftechmcal processes to wluch nee lS subjected has been given elsewhere It will be clear from the descnption that although the basic mformat10n about the nutnent losses due to such process mg has been ava!lable for some Ume It has not yet been used w1th a v•ew to 1mprov1ng the efficiency of any of the processes wh1ch nee undergoes before 1t reaches the consumer Mllk, MUk Products and Substitutes -There 1s very httle that can be sa1d on th1s subject The supply of m1lk has been madequate for qwte a long time The producmg umts are too small and collecting and distnbuting umts too few to enable even pasteunzatlon to be attempted on any scale The supply of pasteunzed safe mdk 1S only posSible m rmhtary da1nes There eXIst a few creamenes for butter manufacture but they usually waste the sk1m mdk by merely prec1p1tating casem and discarding the whey Sk1m rmlk 1s bemg Imported mto the country and some of 1t 1s bemg used for (a) tomng buffalo rmlk to brmg the latter down to the composition resembhng cow muk and (b) reconstituting mto hqmd nulk by homogemzation Wlth added edible vegetable fat and carotene

In Ind1a a neghg1ble proportion of the population uses butter as such On the other hand ghee wh1ch 1s obta1ned by b01lmg away the water contamed m butter 1s extremely popular In 1940 1t was estimated that about 43 per cent of the estimated rmlk production was diverted for ghet manufacture more recent estimates are not avadable In keepmg w1th the agncultural economy of the country 1t 1s the small producer who predormnates m th1s mdustry Hence 1t has not been poss1ble to apply any 1m proved methods to the manufacture of the commodity for the same reason 1t has been difficult to effectively control the quahty of the product • Ghee hke m•lk 1s also m short supply Durmg World War II considerable quanntles of margarme were manufactured for the use of the Armed Forces Now the demand 1s not so great 1t 1s understood however that small quanbt1es are st1ll bemg produced for local consumption

The madequacy of m1lk has prompted some efforts towards the manufacture of substitutes Soya bean rmlk has been produced on p1lot plant scale and considerable scientific work has been done at Bangalore wruch has demonstrated that fortified soya bean mdk would prove a good supplement to poor Indian diets Unfortunately soya bean 1s not culbva ted as a crop m India to any great extent hence the productwn of soya bean m1lk on commerc.al scale has not been poss1ble Expenments are now 1n progress for prepanng a s1mdar product from groundnut

Frmts and Vegetables -Canmng of fru1ts and vegetables was an mfant mdustry m lnd1a before World War II Dunng the war 1ts rap1d development was found Impracticable The needs of the Armed Forces for the supply of preserved frwts and vegetables was great Dehydrated vegetables and frwts were produced on a large scale and supphed ma.nly to the m1htary and some advances were made durmg the warm th1s respect W1th the end of the war the mdustry wruch was fillmg an emergent need d1d not make any appreciable progress once the emergency was over The techmcal knowledge and skdl thus gamed have recently been used for the preparation of tap1oca and sweet potato flour wh1ch are mtended to serve as subsidiary foods m the context of present food shortage S1gns are not wanting however wruch suggest that frwt processmg mdustry m India Will soon develop mto a maJor food mdustry

~8 The Government and the Umvers1ttes seem alive to the needs of the country m respect of SCientifically tramed personnel and the need of research work m food technology In certam Umvers1t1es departments for research and trammg m the subJeCt have been opened and have started funct10mng In the Indian Institute of Sctence Bailgalore a food technology section wtth modern eqmpment has been established The Council of Sc1ent1fic and lndustnal Research has established a Central Food Technological Research Institute at Mysore With an extensiVe programme of work Other lugher technologtcal mstttutes bemg planned by the Government of lnd1a are also provtding for sect10ns on food technology It cannot be demed however that 1t w1ll take an apprec1able time before these actiVIties m the academic field could mfluence the development of new and rat10nahzat10n of old food mdustnes m Ind1a

CONCLUSION Th1s reVIew of nutntlon work m India reveals that a large gap ex1sts between the volume of useful mformat10n wh1ch has been made available through stud1es extendmg over a penod of about a tlurd of a century and the applicatiOn of such mformat10n to the improvement of the nutntwnal status and general well bemg of the people of the country The practical applicatiOn of the knowledge gamed through research should mamly be m two dtrect1ons (a) an mcrease m food productiOn so as to promote the progressive reahsat10n of an adequate and balanced d1et for our people and (b) the1r educatwn m the new knowledge regard mg nutnt10n m order to enable them to secure ths; best d1et poss1ble wtthm the lim1ts of the resources available to them The respons1b1hty for the first hes on the M1mstr1es of Food- and Agr~culrtlre at the Centre and m the States wh1le the task of pubhc educat10n m nutrition should be undertaken mamly by the Education and Health Mm1str1es It 1s not the purpose of th1s rev1ew to d1scuss the reasons for the lag that ex1sts between the knowledge that IS available and 1ts ut1hzat10'n by Governments and the people but 1t IS 1mportant to draw attention to th1s lag and to emphasize the need for a concerted effort on the part of all concerned to promote a fuller ut1hzat10n of sc1ence lo tmprove the nutr1t1on of all classes of the populatiOn Certam spec1fic health problems assoc1ated wtth nutr1t10n such as endeimc g01tre endemtc ber1ber1 lathyr1sm and endem1c fluorosiS have not been dealt wtth so far and the respons1b1hty for th1s state of affa1rs rests on the health admtmstratlons of the country It may not be out of place to add that w1th the growmg complex1ty of modern ctv1hzed hfe 1t IS becommg mcreasmgly clear that a successful orgamzat10n of pubhc welfare can be aclueved only through a wtde assoc1at10n of techmcal and sc1ent1fic personnel w1th day to-day adm1mstrat10n m orde1 to ensure the fullest poss1ble use of the frmts of sc1ent1fic re earch m dealmg w1th the many s1ded problems of commumty hfe Today the pos1t1on 1s that the SC1ent1st and the adimmstrator are workmg largely tsolated from each other It IS deemed essential that not only m the field of nutr1t10n but also m other fields of pubhc endeavour the sc1ent1st should be g1ven opportumtles to mfluence adimmstrat10n to an mcreasmg extent so that the solution of the problems relatmg to the needs of the people may be sought With all the resources that the phys1cal and b1olog1cal sc1ences place at our diSposal SECTION-V SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS ON NUTRITION
