So this send off to house of 'husband' after menarche for consummation / the start of actual married life is apparently a custom in some North Indian states.
In some cases gauna occurs only after legal age but pestering happens 😑

Baffled that public health policy organisations & professionals are mum about @IIPSMumbai dropping anemia ALTOGETHER from #NFHS-6, barring few voices below.
Why @jsa_india @SOCHARASOPHEA @PHMglobal @SNEHAmumbai @jan_arogya @CEHAT1 @napmindia @iphindia etc?

For 2 decades India (& the world) has been using capillary blood for demographic health surveys. IIPS made it clear that the data is not for diagnosis but estimates. If the evidence pointing to capillary blood Hb results being higher has been around for so long, why act only now?
In view of rising incidents of obesity in children and women over the past decade, especially in the recent spurt shown in #NFHS-5, a National Consultation on Prevention of Maternal Adolescent and Childhood Obesity was organized by #NITIAayog.
