Abstract
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a significant public health problem in vulnerable groups like adolescents. In India, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia had been reported to be 55.8% among females and 30.2% among males in age group of 15–19 years.[3] This necessitates the importance of awareness about the disease among adolescents. Policy makers should focus their strategy right from adolescence beginning with raising awareness about iron deficiency anemia.
