In analysis, finding shows that there is significant association between Pre-test and Post test practice score among mother's of under five children as calculated 't' value is greater than tabulated 't' value i.e. 6.18 > 2.05 at 'p' value 0.05 level of significance. Overall observation of level of knowledge shows that 53.3% of mother's had poor knowledge, 33.3% of mother's had average knowledge 13% had good knowledge and 0% had excellent knowledge and after structure teaching programme it increased to 3.3% of mother's had poor knowledge,13.3%of mother's had average knowledge 33.3% had good knowledge and 50% had excellent knowledge.
