And as per literatures, gap in the consumption of adequately iodized salt in community rural areas due to non-availability, poverty, poor knowledge of iodine deficiency diseases, and faulty storage practices. Objectives: to assess Knowledge regarding benefits of Iodized Salt and Salt Preservation Practices among Homemakers in Kolar. Settings and Design: Descriptive cross-sectional survey design using a structured self-administered questionnaire among 100 Homemakers of selected households at Kolar using a purposive sampling technique. Results: Majority of respondents (57%) Of participants are having inadequate knowledge, (43%) of participants are having moderate knowledge and none of the participants had adequate knowledge regarding benefits of Iodized salt. In salt preservation practices, (76%) are having good practices and (24%) participants are having Poor practices. Conclusion: An existing familiarity regarding benefits of iodized salt remained and without knowing its benefits majority were, consuming iodized salt. Hence, it is essential to educate & provide awareness about homemakers through nutrition education or knowledge about benefits of Iodized Salt and salt preservation practices.

Expected outcomes: Homemakers and the community will be the biggest beneficiary.
