Comparator Agent  control group  the control group of rural antenatal women will be pre-tested for Biochemical analysis, clinical variables, Knowledge, practice questionnaire, and Semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire at enrollment. the researcher will provide only general education (hygiene, sanitation, rest, and exercise) to the control group. post-test-I will be done at 37 weeks of gestation. post-test -II will be done 6 months after delivery and post-test -III will be done 12 months after delivery same as the like intervention group  
Intervention  Family Focused Experiential Learning Intervention  Intervention: Family-focused experiential learning intervention (FFELI) consisted of listening and discussing nutrition-related information and experiences such as demonstrations, skills-building, game and role play. The materials, combined with the on-going comprehensive enhanced community conversations (ECC) activities, supported an experiential learning approach to help mothers, spouse and grandmothers build on the knowledge, attitude, experiences and skills they already have and, in turn, practice the adoption of positive behavior roles . After selecting 16 PHC for study group and control group . all the mothers will be screened for anemia then mother who fulfill the inclusion criteria list will be prepared from the list 15 to 24 mother will be selected randomly from each PHC. The FFELI intervention will be given to rural antenatal women and their family member through two phases for the intervention group and general education with routine care only for the control group. During Phase -I education intervention on micronutrients (iron, calcium, vitamin D) will be implemented. it consists of 4 interactive teaching/discussion/ demonstration/card game and food selection workshop session once in two weeks for 40 minutes from enrolment to 4 consecutive weeks on a group basis (7-9 members) of rural antenatal women and their family member. At the end of each session, education materials on micronutrients (iron, calcium, vitamin D) will be distributed. Phase -II- intervention is follow up, during this phase 2 home visit will be conducted once in a month for two months to reinforce play way and experiential learning to promote the purchase and consumption of micronutrient rich foods and to enhance community conversations (ECC) activities among mothers, spouse and grandmothers build on the knowledge, attitude, experiences and skills they already learned in phase 1 and, in turn, practice the adoption of positive behavior. Post-test I will be performed 8 weeks after the pretest. Following that, till 12 months after delivery, a biweekly phone call of about 3–5 minutes will be done as follow-up to know the situation of maternal women and infant and convey key messages on micronutrients (iron, calcium, vitamin D), exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding. Post-test II will be performed 6 months after delivery. Post -test – III will be performed 12 months after delivery.
