A paradigm shift is necessary to raise the quality of economic growth, while offering rich rewards across societies for businesses and citizens, moving away from the depletive cycle induced by the current "take, make, dispose" model.

More than 90% of the global burden of malnutrition is attributable to 36 countries of the world, and Bangladesh is one of them. School-aged children are not commonly included in health and nutrition surveys but still under nutrition among younger school children in our country are high. School age is the active growing phase of childhood. Itis a dynamic period of physical growth aswell as of mentaldevelopment of the child. Research indicates that health problemsdue to miserable nutritional status in primary schoolage children are among the most common causes of low school enrolment, absenteeism, early drop out and unsatisfactory performance.
Objective : General objective was Assessment of Nutritional Status among primary school going children of 5-6 Years in a selected Upazila of Bangladesh.
Specific objectives are to i. Assess the Nutritional status specially stunting, wasting and low weight among selected primary school going children of 5-6 Years in Bishwamvarpur Upazila ii. Determine the association between food habit and nutritional status of the children iii. Determine the association between HH size and food intake of children
Research design : Study design is a descriptive type of cross sectional study. The study period is from 01 September, 2016 to January 31, 2017 and has been conducted in the Bishwamvarpur Upazila of Sunamanj district deliberately which is comparably still high prevalence of malnourished children in Bangladesh . Study population was 106 students of govt. primary schools of class 1 or Pre One attending school at the time of study at same age and their parents specially mother.
Result: Study shows that among boys 42% and among girls 55% are stunted and on average 48% children are malnourished in the form of Stunting. 39.62% of children are under low weight for age where boys are 28.30 % and girls are 50.94%, here also we found the girls are more low weight comparing to boys. 26.42% boys and 62.26% girls are wasted considering MUAC. Only 15% children took milk in last 24 hour and 42% children took egg in last 24 hour which describes the low intake of usual protein for a child. Also 100% of children didn’t have any snacks in school time of average 5.27 hour with no food. The educational qualification of mothers in this study was quite less as 53% which described less behavioral practice on addressing nutrition for their children. We found that at study area average HH member is 6.17 became an important cause of lower food intake of the child in a family due to limited access to adequate food and nutritional resources for a children.
Conclusion: The Nutrition policy 2015 of Bangladesh has clearly described the necessity of nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive activities through out a coordinated and community based nutrition education and awareness can make a dynamic change in the situation.
