The rest of the demographic variables i.e., gender, father’s education, father’s occupation, number of siblings in the family, types of family, any previous source of information on blood donation, have you ever donated blood, any of your friends have donated blood for attitude were found to be not statistically significant at p<0.05 level of significance. Thus, the null hypothesis H02 is rejected only in terms of age. The present study reveals a moderately significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude of the students on blood donation (r = 0.37) which was statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: After conducting the study it can be concluded that majority of the students have moderately adequate knowledge and have neutral attitude towards blood donation. Therefore, it is important for health personnel to take initiatives in educating the students regarding blood donation to encourage them in donating blood in futures as they are the future of the nation.
