India is self-sufficient country in terms of food production. However, it still suffers from nutritional maladies. A prime aspect to understand the issues is to see how farmer's behavior is affected by their locus of control. Nutritional Health Multidimensional Locus of Control has been derived from the premise of Multidimensional health locus of control and locus of control per se. This can be used as an instrument to know the locus and associated factors that can affect the nutritional behavior change especially in context of appropriate agri-nutri interventions. The study was conducted in Odisha and Uttar Pradesh (nutritionally vulnerable areas). The sample size was 100 farmers selected by simple random sampling technique. Confirmatory factor analysis was employed to find the best among A, B and C forms for farmers. Form Awith 18 statements was found to be statistically the best one.
