This study investigates the relationship between self-awareness of nourishment and dietary choices among rural women in selected districts of Karnataka, including Ramnagar, Davanagere, Chikkaballapur, and Bangalore Rural. Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from a sample of 300 respondents. The analysis incorporated demographic insights, socio-economic factors, and dietary behaviors. Key findings revealed that self-awareness of nutrition was moderate among respondents, with no significant correlation between income and dietary prioritization. The study also identified gaps in participation in community nutrition programs and highlighted the influence of cultural and traditional practices on dietary habits. Hypothesis testing showed mixed results regarding the impact of education, income, and access to healthcare on dietary choices. Based on the findings, the report provides targeted suggestions to enhance nutritional awareness, accessibility to healthy food, and the effectiveness of community-based nutrition programs. The insights aim to inform policymakers and stakeholders to design interventions that improve dietary practices and overall health outcomes in rural areas.
