In this study, the sample consists of 60 mothers of under-five children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study. The non-probability purposive sampling technique was used for this study. Findings: The calculated knowledge t value (t=13.346, P=.0000) t value is higher than the tabulated value in the p value at 0.05 level of significance. It shows that there is a significant effectiveness on the administration of structured teaching program. Therefore, the H1 was accepted. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores as the t value is higher than the tabulated value in the p value at 0.05 level of significance. It shows that there is a significant effectiveness on the administration of structured teaching program. Therefore, the H1 was accepted.
