Abstract:
About 2.4 billion individuals worldwide live under highly unhygienic conditions and practice such poor hygiene that the risks of their exposure to the spread of infection are enormous. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been at the head of environmental sanitation over the past years and has developed key resources for the improvement of policy makers and technical people dealing with these issues. The study was conducted in Hisar and Jind district of Haryana state for selection of rural data, ten villages were selected at random from both the district. From selected villages 300 respondents from the age group of 18 to 25 years were selected randomly. Knowledge of family life was assessed by self-prepared questionnaire. The collected data was classified and tabulated as per the objectives. For analysis of data frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation and independent ‘z’ test was used. Results indicated that respondents had low level of knowledge regarding family life and Hisar district respondents had better knowledge regarding family life than Jind district respondents.
