Every nation on earth is affected by one of the major public health issues of the twenty-first century: childhood obesity. According to a 2016 estimate, the prevalence of obesity among school-age children and adolescents has increased more than 10-fold globally in just 40 years, from 11 million to 124 million. In many emerging nations, obesity and overweight rates are rising quickly with modernity. Undernutrition and overweight are two forms of malnutrition that the globe is now dealing with. Global objectives have been set by all nations to stop the rise in overweight and obesity. The major goal is to prevent an increase in overweight among children under the age of 5, school-age children, or adolescents by 2025. According to a 2016 research, obese and overweight children in India's urban and rural areas were both prevalent at 15.8% and 26%, respectively. The primary risk factor was an inactive lifestyle and eating habits that included meals that were rich in energy. When children's weight is monitored from childhood to maturity, those who are overweight or obese as children grow up to be overweight adults. Considering that conclusions from several research are usually used to guide preventative actions. Childhood obesity is linked to poor health throughout childhood and is a risk factor for illness in later adulthood. Body Mass Index, Waist, Waist to Hip Ratio, Skinfold Thickness, and Neck circumference are used to describe obesity. A 2011 study found that Indian children's waist circumference was greater than that of age- and sex-matched European youngsters. Juvenile obesity prevention is currently a top public health goal due to the challenges of treating adult obesity and the numerous long-term negative effects of childhood obesity. Because of recent changes in lifestyle and economic growth, the increase of childhood obesity in India is concerning. Nowadays, obesity is recognized as a widespread dietary issue. It often happens when a person consumes more food than what their body requires. According to data from the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau (NNMB), there are significant rates of obesity in urban slums, demonstrating that obesity is becoming a problem for the urban poor as well. Childhood obesity increases the risk of adult obesity's complications. 1. The study will helpin comparing the concept of overweight and obesity in government and private schools. 2. The study will help in knowing the concept of overweight and obesity.

Mbamalu (2016) Malnutrition among children is a big issue in developing nations, especially in rural regions. Government schools in India have implemented the Mid-Day Meal Program to combat malnutrition. In this research, 350 children ages 10 to 16 were questioned about their nutritional status. It includes pupils from both public and private schools. The weight and height of each kid were measured, and their BMI was calculated. 44 percent of pupils at government schools were underweight, whereas obesity was not prevalent. 6.8 percent of kids at private schools are overweight or obese, whereas 56 there are no underweight children. The 700 kcal midday meal plan at the government school falls short of meeting the caloric demands of the pupils.

Monalisha Chakraborty (2020) In an Indian megacity, the researchers sought to determine the impact of socio-demographic, economic, and dietary determinants on the nutritional health of children aged 6–11 years. One hundred and fifty-one young urban youngsters residing in North Kolkata were studied for this cross-sectional descriptive cross-sectional research project

Teeku Sinha et al (2019) The presence of malnutrition in children less than five years of age may be utilized to establish whether or not a community-based nutritional monitoring and care program or an appropriate nutritional intervention strategy is required. According to the findings of the fourth National Family Health Survey (2015-16), which was conducted in rural Bastar, 42.3 percent of children under the age of five are stunted and 53.1 percent are underweight as a result of chronic malnutrition (Chhattisgarh: 39.2 percent). More than one third of youngsters throughout the globe are not growing to their full potential. An analysis of the nutritional status and health of young people living in rural Bastar.
