The study was conducted among 30 paramedical students. Initially the pretest knowledge on biomedical waste management is assessed after that the planned teaching programme given for the 30 subjects. Pre-experimental one group pretest-post test design was chosen for the study. The data was collected by using a socio demographic profile and structured knowledge questionnaire. Findings revealed that 76.6% have average knowledge and 23.3% have poor knowledge in pre-test. 33.3% have good knowledge, 63.3% have average knowledge and 3.3% have poor knowledge in post test.
