The severity of anemia depends on the various factors, which need at the earliest diagnosis and treatment. Lots of researches on this issue have been carried-out and published but still there are certain points which have to be evaluated at micro level in various walks of society. Diet is one of the most important factors behind causation of anemia. Frequent changes in dietary habits and dependence on the junk food are becoming a common tradition in youths of today with especially among college and higher studies students. The Aim of current research under taken by me is an initiative in diagnosis of Anemia among females of age group 17- 30 years studying in the college/any higher academic institutions. A well-structured Questionnaire has been designed to collect the necessary information from the respondents in this regard. Current cultural scenario among youths and teenagers in India is significantly influenced by western culture. Propagation of the commercial adds, in print and electronic media by the celebrities, play main role in diverting their mind towards junk food habits. Sound nutrition can play a role in the prevention of several chronic diseases, including obesity, coronary heart disease, certain types of cancers, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
