Abstract
Adolescents are the young people aged between 10 to 19 years. This is a phase when children of this
age witness various physical, physiological and behavioural changes. However, most of the young and
growing children have poor knowledge and lack of awareness about these changes that occurs during
adolescence and the ill health affecting them. India is home to 25 crore adolescent children which
constitute 22 per cent of India's population. With a view to address the health and development needs
of this age group, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 2014 launched the Rashtriya Kishor
Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK). RKSK has been developed to strengthen the adolescent component of
1 the RMNCH+A strategy under National Health Mission (NHM).
