Under-nutrition continues to be a primary cause of ill health and mortality among children in developing countries. Besides poverty, there are other factors that directly or indirectly affect the nutritional status of children. The present study was conducted in Rohtak district, Haryana to assess the nutritional status of 7-9 years school going children. A total of 200 school going children were selected randomly from four different schools in the study area and the nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric measurements. Among 200 students, 29% of the students were found to be moderately underweight, 7.5% were severely underweight, 24 and 10 per cent were moderately and severely stunted, 16 and 7% were moderately and severely wasted, respectively.
