According to World Health Organization 2.8 million pre school children are at risk of developing nutritional blindness. Among the possible strategies of overcoming vitamin A deficiency through short term and long term approaches, increasing the dietary consumption of vitamin A and provitamin A carotenoids assumes significance.
