Method: Using a quantitative research approach. The study used a pre-experimental one-group pre and post-test design. Sixty samples were selected by using a non-probability simple random sampling technique. The Variable was adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene and knowledge. Result: The results showed that in the overall knowledge level of adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene, in pre-test there were 37 number (61.67%) adolescent girls with inadequate knowledge, 23 number (38.33%) of adolescent girls with a moderate level of knowledge, whereas in posttest 21 number (35%) of adolescent girls had moderate knowledge, 39 numbers (65%) had adequate knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene. The posttest knowledge mean percentage was found higher (knowledge mean percentage was 76.12% with SD of 1.57 when compared with pre-test mean percentage knowledge mean percentage which was 52.04% with SD of 3.07). Conclusion: Knowledge mean percentage enhancement was 24.08%. The statistical paired ‘t’ test implies that the difference in the pre-test and posttest value was found statistically significant at 5% level (p<0.05) with a paired ‘t’ test value of 14.27.
