—The present study was conducted to assess the
hemoglobin level and prevalence of anemia among 215 college going
girls. The estimation of hemoglobin was done by lab practitioner. The
present study shows that many of the college going girls were anemic
but they were not aware about this. Age of the college going girls
influenced their hemoglobin level i.e. with the increase in age, there
was decrease in hemoglobin level. In order to combat anemia, there
is an urgent need to have better information on the iron status of
populations. Awareness of the college going girls about rich sources
of iron should be raised.
