Malnutrition has long been a major issue in India, affecting a significant portion of the whole population of the country. Despite of the economic growth and development strides, India is still facing the issues in ensuring proper nutrition for all. To combat this problem, Poshan abhiyan was first enacted throughout the country and to enhance its effects nutri smart village project was launched afterwards. Through the nutri smart village approach, a study was conducted by taking 300 respondents from 10 villages in Odisha and the necessary interventions were provided to improve their nutritional awareness, education and behavioral changes .By the interventions nutri sensitive agriculture was implemented through homestead agriculture and nutri garden. Throughout the intervention process, main focus was on nutri gardening, mushroom cultivation, poultry and fishery rearing and the impacts were studied properly. From this research, it can be concluded that mass media, social media and grass root extension functionaries play a pivotal role in creation of nutritional awareness among farm women and nutritional awareness is significantly correlated with age, educational level, and mass media exposure of farm women
