OBJECTIVE:- 1. To assess the pre-test level of knowledge and practices regarding mosquito borne diseases and mosquito control measures among rural people aged between 20 – 60 years. 2. To administer Information Education and Communication programme on knowledge and practices regarding mosquito borne diseases and mosquito control measures among rural people aged between 20 – 60 years. 3. To compare the pre-test and post-test level of knowledge and practices regarding mosquito borne diseases and mosquito control measures among rural people aged between 20 – 60 years. 4. To evaluate the effectiveness of Information Education and Communication programme on knowledge and practices regarding mosquito borne diseases and mosquito control measures among rural people aged between 20 – 60 years. 5. To find out the association between the pre-test level of knowledge and practices regarding mosquito borne diseases and mosquito control measures among rural people aged between 20 – 60 years with selected socio-demographic variables.
