Abstract: Water-borne diseases continue to pose a significant public health challenge globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries like India. Contaminated water, poor sanitation, and lack of hygiene are major contributors to the spread of illnesses such as diarrhoea, typhoid, hepatitis A, and cholera. School-aged children are particularly vulnerable due to frequent exposure to unsafe water, inadequate hygiene facilities in schools, and low awareness regarding preventive practices. In Himachal Pradesh, and particularly in District Kangra, seasonal outbreaks of diarrheal and typhoid diseases remain a growing concern, as highlighted by recent data from the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme. METHODOLOGY :- The main aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge and practices regarding prevention of water-borne diseases among secondary school children in selected schools of District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. A total of 60 students were selected by using purposive sampling technique and self-structured knowledge questionnaire and practice checklist was used to collect the data RESULTS :-The findings revealed a significant improvement in both knowledge and practice after the intervention. The number of students with good knowledge increased from 6.67% in the pretest to 38.33% in the posttest, and those with good practice rose from 16.6% to 48.33%. Paired t-tests showed statistically significant differences between pretest and posttest knowledge (t = 2.848, p < 0.003) and practice (t = 3.187, p < 0.00115) scores. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.72, p < 0.001) was observed between knowledge and practice scores, indicating that higher knowledge led to better practices. No significant association was found between knowledge/practice scores and socio-demographic variables, suggesting the effectiveness of the teaching programme across all groups. The study concludes that structured teaching is an effective tool for improving knowledge and promoting healthy practices regarding prevention of water-borne diseases among school children. CONCLUSION :-Structured teaching programme was effective in enhancing knowledge and practices among school children for the prevention of water-borne diseases.
