The development of a nation hinges upon the health and well-being of its populace. However, tribal communities, often marginalized and neglected, face numerous challenges due to their reluctance to engage with other communities for essential services. Understanding the health status of these communities is paramount. This study aims to evaluate the health status, nutrition, and dietary practices among the tribes of Heggadadevanakote (HD Kote), located in the Mysore district of Karnataka, India, focusing on the anemic population. This study was a baseline analysis of the project titled "Evaluation of efficacy and tolerability of select Ayurveda formulations in moderate Iron Deficiency Anemia", conducted as a part of the Tribal Health Care Research Programme (THCRP) under the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), Minsitry of AYUSH. The trial was conducted as an outreach activity to address the health needs of the tribal population of HD Kote village, Karnataka. A survey was conducted among 370 participants aged 18 to 55 years, comprising 77 males and 293 females. Clinical screening for anemia and associated symptoms was performed following the World Health Organization classification. Statistical analysis using MS Excel was employed to determine the prevalence of various health issues within the tribal population. The findings reveal a significant prevalence of physiological complications among the tribal population, particularly among women, where the majority are affected by anemia, indicating an urgent need to address their health status. To address these challenges and raise awareness, the Ministry of Ayush, along with health professionals, has identified causative factors and implemented various frontline demonstrations, schemes, and promotive and therapeutic activities using Ayurveda to enhance the overall well-being of the tribal community. This study highlights the importance of understanding and addressing the health needs of tribal populations, emphasizing the necessity for targeted interventions to improve their health status and quality of life.
