Nutrition education is an essential component to improve the nutritional status of people. A study was conducted to create awareness among 103 urban women in the age range of 20 to 80 years about the significance of omega 3 fatty acids in health through nutrition education. The mode of education included lectures, interactive discussions, expert counseling, demonstration and exhibitions on  ways of enriching the diets with indigenous food sources of omega 3 fatty acids in daily diet. Results indicated a significant positive impact in terms of gain in knowledge of the respondents. The knowledge increased from a basal score of 2.11±1.16 to 15.70±3.81 indicating quantum improvement of 7.44 times. Awareness about health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids increased from 5.82 to 100 per cent respondents after nutrition education. Educational intervention resulted in a change in diet pattern of beneficiaries. Among the four omega 3 enriched foods demonstrated chapathi was most accepted (67.98%) followed by flaxseed chutney powder (60.19%), multigrain chutney powder (45.63%) and laddu (20.38%).
