We present temperature ($T$) and baryonic chemical potential ($\mu_B$) dependence of higher order fluctuations and correlation between conserved charges in Excluded Volume Hadron Resonance Gas (EVHRG) model. Products of moments, such as ratio of variance to mean ($\sigma^2/M)$, product of skewness and standard deviation ($S\sigma$), product of kurtosis and variance ($\kappa\sigma^2$), for net-proton, net-kaon and net-charge have been evaluated on the phenomenologically determined freeze-out curve. Further, products of moments for net-proton and net-charge have been compared with the experimental data measured by STAR experiment. The dependence of the model result on the hadronic radius parameter has also been discussed.
