One fourth of India's population is in the age group of 10 - 14 years. This population
has not been given adequate attention in the past through public delivered programs
either education or women and child development department or for that matter even
health and family welfare department. Hitherto all the national as well as state
health programs have bypassed this important population group. Perhaps this could
be the one of the reasons for unsatisfactory level of reproductive and child health
indicators in the country.
Adolescents are exposed to many risk behaviour events, malnutrition, teenage pregnancy
and problems related to sexual behaviour. We have the expertise to take up adolescent
education through schools particularly to bring awareness of
issues related to physiological
development, nutrition, family life, conception and contraception, empowerment etc.
We have developed a model, which can be replicated in any part of the country to
bring the adolescent population into the main stream of nation building.
