Ankleshwar, Gujarat

Ankleshwar is an industrial town located in the Bharuch district of Gujarat, India. The region's geography includes flatlands and proximity to the Narmada River and Arabian Sea, making it agriculturally fertile and attractive for industrial development. However, rapid industrialization and population growth may lead to environmental challenges, such as pollution and pressure on natural resources, impacting the health and nutrition of the local population. The influx of migrant workers and their families from different regions may result in variations in socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and education levels. Such demographic diversity can create disparities in health and nutrition outcomes within the population. Read More
