| dc.description.abstract | Nutrition garden in schools are emerging as a nutrition education tool in academic settings. Fruits and vegetables are important in diet of children because they provide the body with vitamins, minerals, fiber and several phytochemicals necessary for growth, development and maintenance of health. One private school and one government school adopted by Prem Nath Agricultural Science Foundation- Bangalore (PNASF), located in Sanjaynagar, Bangalore were selected for the study and 120 children covered under the study. Majority of the children in holding the study were from 6th standard i.e. belong to 12 years age group. Boys were 58.3 per cent and girls were 41.7 per cent. Children from experimental group, from both the schools participated in nutrition programme (Nutrition education + nutrition gardening). Nutrition programme had positive impact on children attitude towards fruits and vegetables (t=7.10*) and nutrition knowledge of the experimental group (t=6.54*) compared to control group. Snake and ladder game on importance of fruits and vegetables had positive impact on improving the nutrition knowledge of school children both in control (t=11.82*) and experimental groups (t=12.63*). Intake of fruits and vegetables significantly increased after nutrition programme in case of private school boys (t=13.06*) and girls (t=3.66*). Almost all the parents were aware of their children involvement in the nutrition programme at school, and majority of them expressed their desire to grow vegetables at home. Most of the parents responded that programme had a positive impact on their children eating habits and nutrition knowledge. | en_US |
