Background: Malnutrition, in all its forms, is primary villain in the survival path of the children. Despite the stringent efforts, stunting is declining at slower pace and wasting is still prevalent among young children. The objective of the study is to examine anthropometric measures (stunting and wasting) among school going children in Himachal Pradesh, India. Methods: A cross sectional study of 750 children aged 5-15 years old was conducted in the Lahaul &Spiti and Mandi, HP. For estimating the results, WHO Anthro Plus software was used in which Nutritional Survey module was assessed. Further outcomes were analyzed by bivariate logistic regression and cross tab Results: The findings of nutritional status among schoolers were quite impressive. Prevalence of malnutrition indicators – stunting, wasting and underweight were found more among older and female children. Likelihood of being stunted and wasted were found significantly with age of children, gender, education of mother and economic status of parents in both sample districts. bivariate result between wealth quintiles and stunting showed that the likelihood of being stunted (OR= 3.44, CI= 1.58 – 4.83, p < 0.05) was more among children who belonged to poor class family as compared to rich class family. Conclusion: Awareness about nutritional indicators is imperative for the households. Although, Government of India has introduced National Nutrition Mission (NNM) for malnutrition- free India in various districts, but its implementation at underlying level is a faraway dream.
