One of the most prevalent health problems in children is mental retardation, but if the underlying cause is identified and treated as soon as possible, it may be prevented. Within the 2400 km long goitre belt that stretches over the southern Himalayan mountains is District Kangra. The study's participants are going to be kids between the ages of 1 and 10, and the purpose is to learn more about how common mental disabilities are within that age range. Who's Involved and How It Works, most notably: Two distinct parts of rural Kangra were the subject of a cross-sectional study. To evaluate the health of children in the Kangra district, a random sample was taken from five panchayats (local government units). The sampling strategy used was a cluster sample comprised of thirty clusters. In the first round of testing, 2420 children participated; 95 of them passed. The second part of the study indicated a frequency of 2.15% for mental disability among a sample of 52 children. Using the Uday Parekh scale, which measures socioeconomic status, we found that 28.3 percent of these children were middle-class and that 69.5 percent were lower-middle class. Kangra, a district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, has a much greater prevalence of intellectual disability than the rest of the nation. One possible explanation is that around 70% of births in Himachal Pradesh take place in medical facilities. This may mean that newborns with congenital disorders and those who suffer stress during the neonatal period have a better chance of survival
