Speakers, at a discussion, called for addressing malnutrition among adolescents, saying that our effort to become a developed country by 2041 may not be achieved if the problem persists.
SDG-3 stipulates for ensuring good health, but according to Food Safety Net Services (FSNS) report 2015, 36 percent children (aged 10-18 years) in the country are suffering from malnutrition and 7 percent children have obesity, they said.
They remarked while addressing an event where students pledged to take nutritious foods to build themselves as healthy citizens of the country.
The students vowed to ‘eat well and live well’ at the programme titled ‘Bhalo Khabo Bhalo Thakbo’ held on Muslin Cotton Mills High School premises in Kaliganj upazila of Gazipur recently.
