Srinagar, Apr 30 : Inadequate intake of iron-rich diets, poor hygiene practices and the lack of breastfeeding among children are the primary causes behind the increasing cases of anaemia, according to doctors.
Doctors who spoke with the news agency— said that with concerted efforts and targeted interventions, people can take steps to eradicate this health concern and ensure a brighter, healthier future for their children.
Pediatrician Dr Rukhsana said that insufficient consumption of iron-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables and fortified cereals, along with poor hygiene practices and limited access to clean water, contribute to anaemia among children.
She said that poor hygiene practices along with the lack of access to clean water increases the risk of infections like parasitic infections that also can lead to anemia among children.Dr Showkat, another paediatrician, said that the limited availability of healthcare facilities in remote areas delays the diagnosis and treatment of anaemia, which creates long-term health implications.
He said most mothers avoid breastfeeding due to which the children often miss out on essential nutrients obtained through breastfeeding, which can lead to anaemia.Doctors said poverty and food insecurity were also the factors leading to anaemia, as families with limited financial resources struggle to provide nutritious meals.
“Adequate intake of vitamin B12 and folate, nutrient-rich foods, breastfeeding, complementary foods, dietary diversity, hygiene, and food safety are crucial in preventing anaemia among children,” they said.
“There is a need for nutritional education, access to nutritious food, iron supplementation, hygiene, proper sanitation practices, improved healthcare infrastructure in remote areas, early screening and treatment, and empowerment of marginalised communities to effectively tackle anaemia among children,” they added.According to National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), data, approximately three-fourths (73%) of children aged 6-59 months are anaemic in the region. This includes 25 percent who are mildly anaemic, 44 percent who are moderately anaemic, and 4 percent who have severe anaemia.

Kashmir 24 April: Buyers Vanish as Gold Prices Soar in KashmirIn the picturesque valleys of Kashmir, a troubling trend is emerging as the price of gold skyrockets, sending buyers into hiding and casting a shadow over the region’s economy.
The recent surge in gold prices, driven by global economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, has dealt a severe blow to the traditional gold market in Kashmir. For generations, gold has been an integral part of Kashmiri culture, symbolizing wealth, status, and security.
However, the steep rise in prices has forced many buyers to reconsider their purchasing decisions, leading to a sharp decline in demand.Local jewellers and gold merchants, who once thrived on brisk business, are now grappling with dwindling foot traffic and vanishing customers. The soaring prices have made gold jewellery and ornaments increasingly unaffordable for the average Kashmiri household, prompting many to postpone or altogether abandon their plans to buy gold.The ripple effects of this trend are being felt across various sectors of the economy.
From wedding ceremonies to festive celebrations, gold has traditionally played a central role in Kashmiri traditions and rituals. However, with fewer people able to afford gold jewellery, there has been a noticeable shift in consumer preferences towards alternative adornments and accessories.The rise in gold prices has also exacerbated existing economic challenges in the region.
With Kashmir heavily reliant on tourism and handicrafts, the downturn in the gold market has added another layer of uncertainty to an already fragile economy.
Many small businesses that rely on gold as a source of income are now facing tough times, struggling to stay afloat amidst the changing market dynamics.Moreover, the situation has raised concerns among policymakers and economic experts, who fear that the decline in gold demand could have long-term implications for the region’s economy.
The traditional gold market in Kashmir has been a cornerstone of economic activity for decades, providing livelihoods to thousands of people and sustaining a vibrant ecosystem of artisans, traders, and craftsmen.
As the price of gold continues to soar, stakeholders in Kashmir are being forced to adapt to the new reality.
Some jewellers are exploring innovative strategies to attract customers, such as offering flexible payment plans or diversifying their product offerings.
Others are turning to digital platforms to reach a wider audience and mitigate the impact of declining foot traffic.In the face of these challenges, there is a growing consensus among industry insiders and policymakers that concerted efforts are needed to revitalize the gold market in Kashmir.
This includes measures to stabilize prices, promote financial literacy, and support small businesses that have been hardest hit by the downturn.
Ultimately, the fate of the gold market in Kashmir hangs in the balance, as stakeholders grapple with the dual challenges of rising prices and shifting consumer preferences. For now, the once-bustling bazaars of Kashmir are eerily quiet, as buyers vanish amidst the soaring gold prices, leaving merchants and artisans to ponder an uncertain future.
