A Study was conducted on effect of intake of millet recipes on iron levels of pregnant and lactating women in the Pathuru and Chirravuru villages of Tadepalli Mandal Guntur district, with a sample of 50 pregnant and lactating women respectively. Iron deficiency is the most common and widespread nutritional disorder in the world, and is a public health problem. Because of the lack of awareness towards millets and millet recipes they are prone to get anemia. Blood test for estimation of Hb% was done to subjects before the supplementation of millet recipes. It was found that 68% in prathuru and 56% in Chirravuru has 7-10gm/ of Hb% which is a cause of anemia. So awareness programs were conducted and millet recipe demonstrations were done in the field, and book on millet recipes in the local language telugu were distributed to subjects in both village. Surprisingly after three month it was found that 86% in pathuru and 74% in Chirravuru, who takes diet with millet recipes like ragi java, ragi malt, jowar roti, etc at least one item daily, improved their Hb% in the blood to 10 – 12gm/dl than those who takes only rice as a staple food.
