The pilot study was conducted at Rural Area Gandhi Nagar Bhopal. A Convenient sampling technique was used. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assessing the environmental Health. The final study was conducted with 50 sample in schools was given followed by post-test after 7 days using the same pre-test tools. The data collected was analyzed using inferential statistics. Results: Indicated overall pre- test & post- test mean knowledge scores on environmental health. Depicted mean post- test score 24.95 is higher than mean pre- test score of 16.825. The actual gain knowledge score is 8.125% and post- test SD =3.25, pre- test SD=4.50 and computed paired t-test (9.3235) (p= 2.04) at the level of <0.05. Thus, data showed higher than the tabled value t-test (= 2.18) at the level of <0.05 thus indicated significant difference and effectiveness of planned teaching program, in increasing the knowledge of Community people regarding environmental health. The computed ‘t’ value (t=9.3235) was higher than the table value (t=2.04) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, the research hypothesis (H1) was accepted. Conclusion: The study concluded that planned teaching program was effective in increasing the knowledge score of Community people regarding environmental health.
