Reviews

“The book will be useful to students and practitioners in public health nutrition, community medicine, social work, and allied disciplines, particularly those interested in pursuing research or implementing programs in school settings. It also has useful insights and programmatic guidance for practitioners in departments of education, health, and nutrition. … I recommend it for readers engaged in research and action for strengthening nutrition-health status and educability of the school child.” (Shubhada J. Kanani, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2018)
