The study was carried out at all Anganwadi center in Bawngkawn and Thuampui area. The sample consists of 200 mothers who have under 5 years of age, samples were selected using convenient Sampling technique, random test was conducted using knowledge questionnaire and practice checklist. The questionnaire consists of 9 demographic variables, 13 structured questionnaire and 16 practice checklists. Chi square test was used to find out the association of the knowledge and the practice regarding ARI. The sample, largely young to middle-aged, educated, and middle-class, demonstrated excellent outcomes: 98.5% showed outstanding knowledge and 76% demonstrated excellent practices. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.7245, p < 0.001) indicated that higher knowledge corresponded with better practice. Interestingly, mean practice scores exceeded knowledge scores, suggesting that caregiving competence may be reinforced by direct experience. Knowledge was significantly associated with maternal education (p = 0.0001), while practice was shaped by experiential factors such as number of children (p = 0.044) and frequency of ARI episodes (p = 0.042). The findings highlight that education strengthens theoretical knowledge, while practical caregiving experience enhances applied skills.
