Background: Cervical cancer is a significant public health concern in India, with high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly among women in the reproductive age group. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in India, accounting for approximately 17% of all cancer cases. Methodology: A Quantitative research approach with pre-experimental design one group pre test and post-test was adopted for this study on 60 adolescent girls in selected schools using non probability purposive sampling technique. Data collection was done using self-structured knowledge questionnaire and analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics techniques. Results: Study results show that pre-test knowledge score of adolescent girls, 63.33% (38) had inadequate knowledge, 35% (21) had moderately adequate knowledge, whereas 1.66% (01) had adequate knowledge. Post-test knowledge score reveals that, 48.33% (29) had adequate knowledge, 38.33% (23) had moderately adequate knowledge, and only 13.33% (8) had inadequate knowledge. The numerals show that, most of the adolescent girls gained adequate knowledge in post-test. The obtained “t” value is t = 12.41 which is statistically significant at p<0.05 level which shows that there is significant difference between the pre-test and post-test level of knowledge showing the effectiveness of plan teaching programme regarding the primary prevention of cervical cancer among adolescent girls. There is significant association with pre-test level of knowledge and demographic variable such as class (16.9). Whereas there is no significant association with pre-test level of knowledge and demographic variable such as age (18.697), menstrual status (0.52), residence (6.96).
