A study to assess the status of intestinal parasitosis and anaemia was carried out among the pre-school children of Gond tribal community in Kundam block of Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh. A total of 985 pre-school children were covered. The results revealed that 48% pre-school children had intestinal parasitic infections. Common parasites observed among them were Hymenolepis nana, hookworms and roundworms. Mean epg for these parasites ranged from 371.2 to 1221.8. High prevalence of anaemia (86.7%) was also observed among them. This high prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections and anaemia could be due to indiscriminate defecation, low socio-economic status, ignorance and low standard of personal hygiene. Comprehensive control strategy with specific intervention measures need to be evolved and implemented specially in tribals as serious efforts are being madeby the Govt. for their overall development.
