Background: Anemia among Indian adolescent girls (15-19 years) is a major issue affecting 55.8% of the population. It not only impacts growth velocity during adolescence but also increases risk for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.  In view of achieving World Health Assembly’s Global Nutrition Target 50% reduction in anemia it is imperative to focus on anemia among adolescent girls.  Objective: The study aims to assess the prevalence of anemia among girls 15-19 years and the coverage of existing adolescent anemia control programs in the rural and peri-urban areas around Nagpur district, Maharashtra, India.  Methods: A community based cross sectional survey would be done and randomly 250 girls would be chosen.  Data would be collected using pre-designed, pre-tested semi structured schedule. Data on anthropometric, blood parameters would be collected using standard methods. Standard classification by World Health Organization would be used for classifying anemia. Results: Hemoglobin would be treated as continuous variable. Data will be entered and analyzed in STATA software (version 13.1). Univariate and multivariate regression models would be used to explore the relationship between anemia control program exposure variables and risk of anemia. Conclusion: The present research study would give an estimate of anemia among adolescent girls from peri-urban and rural areas of Nagpur district. The findings of this study would serve as essential pilot data for developing a nutrition intervention targeting adolescent women in rural and peri-urban area.
