The purpose of this study is to improve the dietary diversity and micronutrient intakes of women and children involved in the Supplementary Nutrition Programme and test the acceptability of dried fish products (eg. taste, ease-of-use) with tribal community beneficiaries and Angwandi Centre workers. Methodology will be scaleable to other fish-eating communities within Odisha state.
