Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are partitioned into two sub headings; upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). The primary hazard factors which are incharge of ARTI are Poverty, Low parental training, restricted family income, absence of breastfeeding and above all malnutrition3. A firm relationship amongst ailing health and mortality from ARI has been observed to be the main source of mortality and morbidity from pneumonia in less than five year age group of children4. As per WHO malnutrition is synonymous with PEM signifying an excesses or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and/or nutrients5. Almost 50 percent of all deaths in youngsters under 5 years are owing to undernutrition. This converts into the pointless loss of around 3 million youthful lives a year.

Poor nourishment in the initial 1,000 days of a kid’s life can likewise prompt hindered development, which is irreversible and related with disabled psychological capacity and decreased school and work execution6. Although, incidence of ARI are similar in developed and developing countries, the course of the disease and the outcome of ARI is more severe in developing nations7. More than 8.795 million of youngsters die every year in developing countries . In 2008, more than 5.970 million of youngsters kicked the bucket because of illnesses because of contamination, among which 18% (1.575 million) passed on due to pneumonia8.
