Regarding post test scores of 300 respondents 30(10%) had average knowledge, 270(90%) had good knowledge. The Pre test Mean Score was observed as 1.21 were as Post test Mean Score is 2.90. The Pre test Standard deviation was observed as 0.416 were as Post test Standard deviation is 0.301 Up on applying the Paired sample t-test the T-value -56.530 was observed that to be significant at P<000 level
