Abstract

Out of the list of various nutritional messages, three main messages i.e.. balanced diet’ ‘Protective foods’ and ‘food hygiene and thirteen sub-messages related to main messages were identified as per judges’ scoring. A package of media including posters, charts, leaflets and booklet were prepared on each message and exposed to school children.
