The one of the millennium development goals is to achieve gender. Gender inequality is one of the major problems faced by the human society. It refers to unequal and biased treatment towards female. The present study was aimed to analyses the gender discrimination in terms of nutritional status of children assessed through anthropometric, nutrient intake and biochemical indicators. Data was collected from two villages of Hisar district i.e. Mangali from Hisar-1 block and Dhiktana from Barwala block of Hisar District, Haryana. Total 218 children (Male (114); Female (114)) were selected randomly. Statistically data was analyzed using SPSS statistical package (version 14.0) for windows. Differences in height, weight, BMI, waist and MUAC circumferences, hemoglobin, hematocrit, ferritin, transferring saturation, serum zinc and CRP concentrations and underweight, stunted, wasted, anemia, iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia were assessed by using the independent sample t-test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for percentages. A higher proportion of females were found to be underweight, stunted, wasted, anemic, iron deficient and iron deficient anemic as compared to their male counterparts and the differences have been found to be statistically significant (p< 0.05). Males were consuming more energy, protein, fat, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron and zinc in comparison of girls except carbohydrates which was more consumed by the girls (Table 3). However, the differences were found significant only for protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron and zinc (p < 0.05).
