programme on knowledge regarding amrutham nutritional supplement among beneficiaries of anganwadi at
Pallithottam, Kollam‖. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge regarding amrutham nutrtional
supplements among the beneficiaries of anganwadi, to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching
programme on knowledge regarding amrutham nutrtional supplement among beneficiaries of anganwadi and to

researchers collected the data using self structured knowledge questionnaire and the data was analyzed using
descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The study result shows that the mean post test score (15.24) with a
standard deviation of 1.75 was greater than mean pre test score (9.64) with standard deviation of 2.72 on
knowledge regarding nutritional supplement among beneficiaries of anganwadi. The mean difference between pre
test and post test knowledge score was 9.56. The paired ‗t' value 2.12 was greater than the table value (0.27) at 0.05
