      Good attempt.
      Introduction is precise and good.
      Causes mentioned are fine too. Further, you can talk about lack of health and nutrition interventions such as poor access to prenatal care, folic acid intake during pregnancy etc
      Flowchart is good.
      Suggestions are also fine. However, some suggestions can be incorporated from the article tagged such as need to go beyond haemoglobin and look for some other iron-specific biomarkers, measurement of anaemia accounting for non-iron nutritional deficiencies like that of vitamin B12 also.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Decent attempt.
      Introduction is good. However, you can additionally quote the recent NFHS-5 data which can substantiate the first line of the question- anaemia rates in India increased from 53 % to 57 % in women and 58 % to 67 % in children in 2019-21.
      Causes mentioned are good. More focus is on societal issues. You can also talk about poor water quality and sanitation conditions; lack of provision of health and nutrition interventions such as folic acid intake during pregnancy and access to prenatal care.
      Suggestions are also fine. However, some suggestions can be incorporated from the article tagged such as need to go beyond haemoglobin and look for some other iron-specific biomarkers, measurement of anaemia accounting from non-iron nutritional deficiencies like that of vitamin B12 also.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Good attempt.
      Again introduction is a bit long. Just define anaemia, mention iron deficiency and the data from NFHS-5 (anaemia rates in India increased from 53 % to 57 % in women and 58 % to 67 % in children in 2019-21) and move on.
      Causes mentioned are good.
      In suggestion mention iron fortification.
      Plus, as the article tagged above suggests there is something wrong in how we measure anaemia, so, need to go beyond haemoglobin and look for some other iron-specific biomarkers, measurement of anaemia accounting from non-iron nutritional deficiencies like that of vitamin B12 also can be mentioned. Other points are good.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
