In this growing world, providing health care services and proper nutrition to children is still part of big plans. Whereas, through the data collected in last few years, the issues majorly seen in rural areas than in urban. Increasing urbanisation also deteriorate the quality of life in some areas due to overcrowding. The biggest disadvantage of poor livelihood is no basic health standards and malnutrition on broad spectrum leading to PEM, deficiencies, diarrhoeal and respiratory illness. Even infant feeding practices are not good enough to meet the requirements of children. Poor environment, improper sanitation, inadequate food security among people living out in areas with no basic necessities including mothers who feed their infants are affected equally that give rise to further more adversely affecting disease and disorders among children. Lack of public health sector services in areas where malnutrition is affecting inefficiently is the biggest drawback for the country. According to WHO 45% of child deaths are associated with under nutrition and 45 million children under 5 years are too thin for their heights. There are 4 different forms by which under nutrition can be understood – wasting, stunting, and underweight and deficiencies of micronutrients. From this classification, underweight are more prone to diseases and death. Well, the Ayurvedic approach for the children is always to provide them optimal health and well being. Ayurveda elaborates the fact that how food is important for longevity and how important is it to know that in the initial growing stage maintenance of healthy lifestyle, good immunity, mental growth plays a major role. On this basis ‘Swarnprashna’ is given great importance under Ayurveda. In Ayurveda the nutritional disorders are considered as Phakka Roga, Parigarbhika, Bala shosha and modern correlation is termed as Protein Energy Malnutrition(PEM).
