Result: In pre-test out of 60 samples the majority of Samples 23.33% have average and 66.66% have a poor knowledge and 10% have good knowledge. In post-test out of 60 samples the majority of Samples 23.33% have average knowledge, 76.66% have good knowledge and 0% have poor knowledge. In pre-test and post-test knowledge the mean is 12.41%, SD is 13.125 and calculated t value is 7.32 at 30 DF. Which is higher than the tabulated t value at 0.05 level of significant hence research hypothesis is accepted.
