Introduction: According to the WHO, anaemia is a disorder when the blood's haemoglobin concentration is lower than usual due to a lack of one or more crucial nutrients. The WHO recommends a cut-off threshold of 13g/dl for adult men, 12g/dl for adult non-pregnant women, 11g/dl for pregnant women and children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years, and 12 for children between the ages of 6 years and 14 years. Aim: "A study to assess the knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia among pregnant women at Government District Hospital, Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh." Objectives: 1) To assess the pre-test level of knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia among pregnant women. 2) To find out the association between the pre-test level of knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia among pregnant women with their selected demographic variables. Method: Quantitative research approach was adopted. In this study, non - Experimental Descriptive Research Design was adopted to determine the knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia among pregnant women at Government District Hospital, Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh." Result: The majority of respondents (21, or 70%) had insufficient understanding, while nine respondents, or 30%, had moderate knowledge. The current study shows that Chi-square was calculated to determine the relationship between pregnant women's level of knowledge on the prevention of anaemia and their chosen demographic characteristics. There was a significant correlation between knowledge level and family type, but not between knowledge level and age, religion, education, career, place of residence, family income, prior knowledge of anaemia, or information source.
