Then, the data was subjected and analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics include frequency, mean, median, mean percentage, median, standard deviation was used to explain the demographic variables and to compute the level of knowledge, and inferential statistics include t-test and chi-square. Results The average knowledge score in 50 samples in pre-test is 12.64.The average knowledge score in 50 samples in post-test is 16.76.Reliability was calculated and came to be 0.96.The Chi square value was calculated and found to be 50.6 Highly significant difference was between pre-test and post test scores demographic variables of post natal mothers.
