The health of women and children plays a significant key role in the national development and hence intrinsically
linked as an important indicator to their status in the society. Health and nutrition programmes, innovative
products and approaches for eradicating the mal-nutrition and improving the health status are essential elements
and integrated efforts need to be strengthened for sustainable impact in the society. In order to evaluate the effect
of Soya milk in improving the nutritional status of 09-13 years old malnourished Ashram school children and also
to assess the economic empowerment of women, a study was conducted in tribal areas of East Godavari district of
Andhra Pradesh. About 200 ashram school tribal children were selected as control group and 100 children of same
age group from the same school were selected as experimental group to evaluate the mean weights, heights, Body
mass Index (BMI) and haemoglobin. As a part of intervention, the soya milk @100ml per child was provided for 12
months in addition to the existing diet provided for the school children. A randomised parallel intervention study was
carried out. The anthropometric measurements were analysed before and after the interventions by using t-test. The
study shows drastic improvement in weight, height, BMI and haemoglobin levels of ashram school children after
consumption of soya milk. The results suggest that the soya milk consumption improved the nutritional status of
ashram school children significantly. The family income of the tribal SHG was improved significantly after introduction
of soya milk unit as entrepreneurial activity, as a measure of economic development of the tribal women
