Abstract The Kutia Kandha tribe residing in the Kalahandi district of Odisha faces unique health challenges that impact the morbidity patterns among their children. This study aims to understand these morbidity patterns by examining the specific health issues prevalent among Kutia Kandha children, which are influenced by socio-economic conditions, cultural practices, and environmental factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 52 respondents in the field practice area of the Kutia Kandha tribe in the Kalahandi district, using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. The study reveals that diseases such as skin diseases, diarrhea, malaria, fever, and pneumonia are more prevalent in this region due to a lack of proper knowledge about sanitation and health hygiene.
