This paper at tempi u describe the food and nutrient intakes among the Dimisa of North Cachar Hills in Assam. The findings indicate that the over-all dietary intake among the Dimasa is more of less according to the Recommended Allowances gives by the Indian Council of Medical Research, though the consumption of nutrients like iron, carotene and vitamin B, is far below the recommended requirement The problems concerning the practical method for measuring undernutrition in a population were pointed out. taking into consideration the use of Recommended Allowance, for any given nutrient, as a cut-off point and the hypothesis of homeostatic variation in dietary requirements
