| 1. Adequacy of nutrient intake (macronutrients such as energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and micronutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, retinol, beta-carotene, vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, total folate (B9), B12, vitamin C) of children will be calculated using EAR cut-point method and full probability approach (for iron). The food intake data will be used to calculate nutrient intakes using the validated software-DietCal (Version 10.0; Profound Tech Solution). This software is based on the nutritive values of foods from the Indian Food Composition Table (IFCT), 2017. The nutrient intakes will then be converted to usual nutrient intakes and the EAR cut-point method will be used to assess the nutrient inadequacy by comparing individual nutrient intakes to the EAR and determining the proportion of intakes below the cut-off. While the probability approach will relate individual intakes to the distribution of requirementsTimepoint: Baseline and endline;2. Knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) score of the parents who will be receiving nutrition education from Mitanins and AWW will be assessed during the baseline to endlineTimepoint: Baseline and endline;3. Dietary diversity score of adults (parents of children attending school/AWC will be measured using the 2 days 24-hour recall method to capture the number of food groups consumedTimepoint: Baseline and endline;4. Environmental footprints of the revised menu as well as the standard Govt menu will be assessed using the secondary data on carbon footprints of the food commoditiesTimepoint: Endline | — |
