Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second commonest malignancy among women worldwide and causing high mortality with about 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths each year. The mortality rate can be reduced by creating awareness among women on regular or earlier screening for precancerous lesion and by administration of human papilloma virus vaccine to adolescent girls. Hence a study conducted to assess the knowledge on cervical cancer among women, to determine the effectiveness on awareness programme and to associate between selected demographic variables and knowledge of cervical cancer. Methods: Pre-experimental research design was selected. Totally 100 women were selected by random sampling technique in health centres. After assessing the pre-test knowledge, the awareness was created to them and that was followed by post-test. The collected data was analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The demographic data shows that out of 100 women, 42(42%) women were at the age group of 30 to 40 years, 84(84%) women were unemployed, 8(8%) women in low income group, 34(34%) women attained early menarche, 32(32%) women had early marriage, 44(44%) women having 3 and more children and 48(48%) women were received health information from family members. The overall pre-test adequate knowledge was 13% and post-test was 74%. There was no significant association between selected demographic variables and knowledge of cervical cancer. Conclusion: Most of the women had inadequate knowledge about cervical cancer and its prevention. After awareness programme, the knowledge score was improved. Hence the health educations highly needed to create awareness among women.
