The issue of blood shortage is due to lack of voluntary donors, particularly in states such as West Bengal, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Gujaratand and Jammu Material and Methods Research hypothesis was formulated to find the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme. The review of literature was done and organized based on review related to blood donation and knowledge of blood donation. Pre experimental design was adopted for this study. The sample size was 50. The tool was validated by the experts and found to be valid for this study. The reliability was established through test retest method. The tool was administered to 15 nursing students and after a gap of one week the retest was conducted. The Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation was computed and the reliability was found to be 0.27. The tool was reliable for this study. The pilot study had been conducted in Bee Enn College of nursing, Jammu. The samples were selected by purposive sampling method.
