Brief Summary   CAudal epidural analgesia is a very common method of providing analgesia for children undergoing surgeries. It can be used for providing both intraoperative and post operative analgesia. A lot of adjuvant drugs are available for proving extended duration of post operative analgesia when mixed along with local anesthetic for caudal epidural. Ropivacaine is a long acting local anesthetic which in a concentration of 0.2% provides sensory block without motor blockade. Buprenorphine and Nalbuphine are synthetically derived  opioids which provide analgesia without risk of respiratory depression due to its agonist-antagonist properties. the primary purpose of our study is to find out which among the two (nalbuphine and buprenorphine) is a better adjuvant when compared to each other and with plain ropivacaine in terms of duration of post operative analgesia, sedation, and incidence of side effects.

Primary hypothesis : -Nalbuphine is a better adjuvant than buprenorphine when given through epidural route with 0.2% ropivacaine in children undergoing infra umbilical surgeries
Alternative Hypothesis : - Buprenorphine is a better adjuvant than nalbuphine when given through caudal epidural route with 0.2% ropivacaine in children undergoing infra umbilical surgeries
