2. Introduction:
The complex interplay of globalization, lifestyle changes, socioeconomic
conditions and greater exposure to the unsafe environment has led to
increased deaths and disabilities due to injuries among children in India.
The child's community includes several places like homes, playgrounds,
gardens, fields, ponds, waste dumps, etc. However, their relative
importance depends on a child's way of life. According to World Health
Organization (WHO), "an accident is an event independent of human will,
caused by an outside force acting rapidly and resulting in bodily or
mental injury" [WHO, 2004]. Accidental death in children, particularly
during playing, while flying kites, fall from the terrace, injury from sharp
objects, injury from firecrackers particularly during the festive seasons,
improper use of electrically operated toys, sharp toys, scissors, knives,
blades are not uncommon.

3. Statement of the problem:

programme on knowledge regarding the prevention of
accidents in under-five children among mothers in a selected
village, Gwalior.
