Methods: The conceptual framework adopted for the study was based on modified J.W. Kenny’s Open System Model Theory methodology adopted for assessing the knowledge through planned teaching regarding measles to general population of village, of Bhopal (MP) It includes research approach, research design, setting of the study, population, variable, sample size, sampling technique, criteria for sample selection, tool preparation and scoring, reliability and flexibility of the study method of data collection and statistical analysis and also emphasis on particular methodology adopted by the investigator to conduct the study. The sample consists of the units that compose accessible population. In this study sample size is 110 where selected purposively to suit the study. The tool use for generating data was a knowledge regarding measles. Theoretical knowledge and guidance from the expert and review of literature helped in developing the tools necessary for the study.

The overall mean knowledge scores of the pre-test and post-test of participant show that the post-test mean score was higher (16.49 with SD of 1.780) when compared with the pre-test mean knowledge score value of 6.17 with SD of 2.120, the calculate value is 37.374, and the tabulated p value is 0.0001. Therefore, assessment of knowledge regarding measles among general population of village Bhopal (M.P) is statistically interpreted. H2-there is a significant association between the levels of knowledge regarding measles among general population of village with selected socio demographic variable is rejected at 0.05 level of significance.

Conclusion: There is need to impart more knowledge to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding measles among the general population of village Bhopal (MP). The aimed to improve the level of knowledge of general population. They predetermined certain objectives to precede the study.
