This study seeks to assess the extent of malnutrition and its effects on the
students’ annual exam score and attendance at Government Primary Schools in
selected UCs of district Tharparkar. Proper nutrition plays significant role in the
healthy growth of the children. The data was gathered through the close ended
questionnaire and Interview schedule which was based on the anthropometric
measurement data and the students’ records of attendance and exam score. Data was
analyzed in SPSS presented in cross tables and bar graphs. The result showed a high
occurrence of malnutrition of 71% among the primary schools’ students in selected
UCs of District Tharparkar, using BMI as index. Occurrence of malnutrition was
significantly higher in girls than boys. In order to improve the performance in annual
exams and academic performance of the students, Nutrition programs should be
launched in schools, so that students in primary schools are delivered with basic
nutrition during the school time. Awareness programs on importance of health and
nutrition should be initiated among the communities and schools.
