Abstract:The early stage of adolescence spanning 11–14 years requires proper nutrition for optimal growth. The government of India has launched multiple nutritional programs to fight iron deficiency and anemia among adolescent girls but these conditions persist as major public health issues. The research project "Effect of Government Nutritional Intervention Programme on Hemoglobin Level among Early Adolescent Girls" evaluates how the Mid-Day Meal Scheme and Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) program affect hemoglobin levels in schoolgirls. The research employed a symbolic imperial design to measure hemoglobin levels through finger-prick tests at the beginning and after three months of government nutritional intervention exposure. The research included a complete sample of early adolescent girls from Obedullaganj block government schools for comparative evaluation purposes. The researchers documented observations about how nutritional schemes were put into practice and used by the participants. The study demonstrates that government nutritional intervention programs lead to significant improvements in hemoglobin levels of early adolescent girls. The substantial rise in pre-observation to post-observation mean values demonstrates that these initiatives successfully combat anemia and enhance health results for this susceptible demographic. The programs need to be strengthened and maintained to guarantee long-term nutritional well-being for these individuals. The research demonstrates the actual effects of government-run nutritional programs while establishing proof to boost their performance in treating anemia among early adolescent girls.
