摘要：

In order to assess the effect of handwashing agents like soap and ash on the control of bacterial contamination, the study was carried out in two villages of Rajendranagar mandal of Rangareddy district, Andhra Pradesh. Twenty households belonging to high income group and twenty households belonging to low income group having 1-2 years age children were randomly selected for the study handwash samples. Before feeding the child handwash samples after washing with different agents were collected and analysed for bacterial contamination. The study revealed that use of soap or ash for washing hands before feeding the child reduced hand contamination significantly.
