DISCUSSION:
Analysis of pre-test and post- test knowledge scores of the women.
Indicated overall pre- test & post- test mean knowledge scores on Ujjawala Yojana. Depicted mean post- test
score 24.28 is higher than mean pre- test score of 11.8. The actual gain knowledge score is 12.48 % and post-
test SD =3.81 is more than pre- test SD=2.348 and computed paired t-test (28.37) (p= 2.18) at the level of <0.05.
The computed ‘t’ value (t=28.37) was higher than the table value (t=2.18) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence,
the research hypothesis (H1) was accepted. This indicates that the Informational Booklet was effective in
increasing the knowledge scores of the women’s regarding Ujjawala Yojana
Chi- square test analysis to find the association between the pre- test knowledge score & demographic
variables
Chi- Square test analysis to find out the non-significant association of pre- test knowledge score with Socio-

Hence it can be interpreted that percentage knowledge score related to socio- demographic variables where only
