In most of the developing countries the majority of population is the rural population, following slum population they do not receive even the most basic health care or any nutritional advice. The under five children of the rural areas and urban slum areas, both are waiting for a bright present, a pleasant future. India is a land of contrasts. While agricultural, scientific technological and industrial developments have placed India among the top ten industrialised countries in the world, social and distributive justice have largely eluded under five children of the urban slum community, the people of the slum and rural community, and therefore ultimate goal of development- improvement in the quality of life of under five children in an urban slum community remains a dream
