Abstract

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is an important public health problem among infants and young children. Though poverty is recognised by far as the most important factor responsible for the widespread prevalence of this malady, faulty feeding habits arising out of ignorance often lead to inadequate intake of essential nutrients by this segment of the population.
