Abstract in brief

  • Indian diets primarily get about 60% of their protein from cereals, which have low digestibility and quality.
  • Surveys over 25 years show that disadvantaged groups like rural, tribal, and slum populations typically consume around 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, but the protein quality, measured by PDCAAS, is often inadequate.
  • About one-third of sedentary rural populations are at risk of not meeting their dietary requirements due to low overall diet quality, including insufficient fruits and vegetables, highlighting a major challenge in improving both protein and general nutrition.]
