Methodology Research approach was an quantitative with quasi experimental two group pre test post test study design. The population comprised of adolescent girls at selected schools of Anand District. Samples were identified through power analysis method and total 60 adolescent girls were selected for this study, in that 30 were in an experimental group and 30 were in control group by using non probability purposive sampling technique.

Data collection tool includes socio demographical variable and biochemical test in that assessment of haemoglobin level checked by haemocumeter 301 analyzer. Result The findings of the study shows that, an early increase in the haemoglobin level of adolescent girls in the experimental group by following the administration of beetroot juice with jaggery, in compare with the control group. Calculated chi square value was more than 0.05 level of significance for all the selected demographic variables, hence it conclude that there was no considerable association between haemoglobin level of adolescent girls and selected demographic variables.
