According to modern texts, all disorders of vitiated digestion, absorption and assimilation can be considered under Pandu.

Government is trying its best by implementing National Anemia Control Programme (NACP), National Anemia Prophylaxis Programme (NAPP) and 12*12 Programme time to time to control Anemia but very limited success has been achieved.
