An assessment was made of the food and nutrient intake of rural children in Kambadur block, a drought-prone area of Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh, India. Most of the children ate adequate amounts of protein but intake of energy was low. Intakes of thiamin, riboflavin and nicotinic acid were almost adequate, while those of iron, calcium and vitamin A were less than the recommended quantities.
