Abstract The present investigation attempts to see the impact of intervention on motor and mental development of rural female infants. A total sample of 60 infants (30 in experimental and 30 in control group) were selected. The infants in experimental group were exposed to intervention for a period of six months and both the groups were post tested. Results revealed a heightened performance of experimental group infants in motor and mental development during post test. Significant differences were found in mental and motor development including psychomotor index and mental development index in experimental group after imparting appropriate knowledge to the mothers.
