Adivasi did not know malnutrition before, This is due to depleting forests...
Dr HD Gandhi meets a social activist in Mandla district in MP who tells him that cases of malnutrition is increasing in Baiga tribals due to reducing forest. She says Baigas never knew what is malnutrition as they used to get all nutritional food from forest. They grew Kodo and Kutki as food. They had different types of pulses and fish and meat for protein. But now it is a common scene to see malnourished children in every adivasi family. Dr Gandhi@9424782483
