Abstract
During the last four decades there have been some major changes in our concepts of priorities in child nutrition and these have naturally been reflected in changing strategies for combating childhood malnutrition. Some examples of such changing concepts which have influenced our strategies, though not always beneficially, have been listed in Table 1. For our present purpose, earlier concepts which have now been either widely accepted, or largely discarded as untenable, need only to be mentioned very briefly for their historical interest. Our major concern in this paper will be with such concepts and strategies which are still current, controversial and being debated.
