Watershed development is important in the rejuvenation of degraded ecosystems in the rural semi-arid regions. The economic and social changes as facilitated by watershed development are well known. However, the impacts it can have on community health are not much documented. Development can be meaningful only when it contributes to community health.
Watershed development with health inputs has the potential to bring about a change in the health culture of a community. The present work has tried to understand as to whether this change is reflected in the nutritional status, particularly of children. It also discusses child nutrition in the context of development of villages.
The book will be of immense use to development practitioners, policy makers, researchers and academicians working in the area of watershed development and community health.
