For a continued progress in the pursuit of neutrino oscillation parameters, we require to have a precise knowledge of the pion production processes which act as a source of backgrounds and systematic uncertainties in neutrino oscillation experiments because pions can mimic a final state electron (positron). Therefore a pion production principal interaction may appear to be quasi-elastic if the pion is absorbed in the final state interactions. Charged-current single pion production processes induced by νμ and νμ interactions with hydrocarbon target (CH2) has been studied using NuWro event generator and the cross-sections so obtained have been compared with the results of MinerνA experiment.
