An investigation was carried out to know the impact of synthetic vitamin 'A' supplementation and Dietary intervention on vitamin A status and morbidity pattern of children. Children with serum retinol level less than 20µg/100ml were included in the intervention study. Children from group-1 formed the control, a single massive oral does of 2,00,000 IU of vitamin A was given to group-II, dietary intervention was given to group-III daily for 3 months, where in standardized recipes (fenugreek chapathi, drumstick leaves chapathi and carrot bhaji) met day's vitamin A allowance (2400 µg/day). Serum retinol level and haemoglobin level, and morbidity pattern were recorded before and after supplementation period. Both synthetic vitamin A and dietary intervention improved the serum retinol and haemoglobin level. The synthetic supplementation showed high increment value for serum retinol level compared to horticulture supplementation group. Nevertheless, the increment value for haemoglobin level was high in horticulture intervention group. Hence, horticulture intervention is cost effective, long-term, natural and sustainable strategy to solve existing vitamin A deficiency problem
