In our study, there is statistical significance between religion and practicing personal hygiene (P value is 0.025). Students belonging to the Christian religion (40.70%) followed good personal hygiene practices compared to the other two religions 21.00% (Hindu) and 31.70% (Muslim) respectively (Table No. 11). There is no such comparison in other available studies. In our study, 100% of children washed their hands before eating. A maximum of 92.5% of students washed their hands with soap and water, while 7.5% of children washed with water only (table no. 12). This is more than the study done by Ray SK, Amarchand R, Srikanth J, Mujumdar KK, in Calcutta and Bangalore, showed that 86% of children always washed their hands before eating, but 47.3% of students never used soap and 30.9% used it occasionally, 21.3% always used soap to wash their hands (23). Similarly, another study conducted by Anita rani M, Sathyasekaran, in Chennai 2009, found that almost 77% of students washed their hands before eating, but only 19% of students used soap. (18)....
