Subscribe/Renew Journal
A study was done to assess the awareness of Govt. school students on “Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya”Mission in selected govt. schools of Doiwala, Dehradun. Methods: An exploratory descriptive survey design was used for the study. The subjects were 200 Junior High school students of VI, VII, VIII and IX standard. Participants selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. Structured Knowledge Questionnaire was administered for the assessment. Results: The study shows that the knowledge score mean value of 200 subjects were 20.44 with standard deviation of 2.47 and mean percentage 68.13. The Chi-square test done with Yates correction formula at 0.05 level of significance revealed association of knowledge scores with only one demographic variable i.e. class of the students out of ten variables selected for the study. Other variables like age of the student, gender, parents education, religion, type of family, locality, source of information and family income were not found to be associated with the knowledge scores of the students. Interpretation and Conclusion: Knowledge of the students were found to be good regarding the national central govt. campaign regardless of any standard variables selected. The knowledge and awareness among students were found to have raised their self-esteem and morale in knowing, asking for and getting their basic right of living in a clean environment whether at school or at home for both boys and girls. The national campaign has brought positive outlook for the teachers of the school too. This concludes that the assumptions made by the researcher were true and the students had some knowledge about the mission and also H1 hypothesis of association of knowledge scores is accepted for one demographic variable among study participants. Findings stress the need for more such national cleanliness campaigns and sanitation teaching programs, which in turn may enhance the overallknowledge and health of the participants.
