Abstract
It has been found that washing hand with soap may prevent many common and life threatening infections. Interventions used to prevent diarrheal diseases, includes safe drinking water, use of improved sanitation and washing hand with soap may reduce the disease risk.

Multi stage random sampling technique was used. The tools used were demographic questionnaire and checklist regarding hand hygiene. Result revealed, majority of the mothers 50 scored average and 50 scored poor in pre test whereas in post test 19 scored good 72 scored average and 9 scored poor. Mean post test score was significantly higher than the mean pre test score at the “P value” less than 0.05. The calculated t value i.e. 16.58 was compared with the tabulated value i.e 1.98 with paired t test which revealed that the demonstration administered by the investigator was found effective to increase the practice level among the mothers of under five children regarding hand hygiene.
