• Registration Number: CTRI/2022/04/041559
• Lead Sponsor: National Institute of Ayurveda

Brief Summary

PURPOSE :

1. To mitigate and treat malnutrition in children.

2. To evaluate the effect of Priyaladi Modaka in the management

of  Karshya with special reference to malnutrition in children.

3. To assess the prevalence of malnutrition in the study area.

4. To identify the correlations of malnutrition in the study

population.



NEED OD STUDY: Despite the status, 14 per cent of India’s

population is undernourished. A recent report reveals that in

Rajasthan 36.7% of children under the age of five are underweight, 39.1% are stunted and 23.0% are wasted. But, still

there is no satisfactory solution and management for malnutrition

and it is the need of the time to look into the alternative systems

for the management.



NULL HYPOTHESIS (H 0 ) :

There is no difference in effect of dietary guideline alone and

with Priyalaadi Modaka in the management of Karshya with

special reference to malnutrition in children.



ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS (H 1 ):

If the null hypothesis is rejected alternative hypothesis will be

accepted i.e. Dietary guideline along with Priyalaadi Modaka

has significant role in the management of Karshya with special

reference to malnutrition in children.
