It is widely recognised as a significant health problem in the world's developing countries. According to Kashyapa Sutra sthana rogadhyaya, the 32nd shloka mentioned Vataja Roga, where Karshya is also included in 27 Roga (Kas.Sam.Su. 17/32). A food preparation called Sattu Mantha, made up of Sattu( yava + Chanaka), Sikta khanda, and jala, has significant changes in the symptoms of undernourished children. Sattu itself is sadyabalkara, sadya tarpana , deepana ,hridya.

This could be natural, safe, and cost-effective for undernourished children and improve the quality of life of Krisha children.
