The obtained data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The hypothesis was tested using paired ‘t’ test. The value of ‘t’ was calculated to analyses the difference between mean pre and interventional effect of selected nutritional diet on children. Weight- The value of t- test is t = 23.77 which is greater than table value therefore research hypothesis is accepted.
