Background: Child sexual abuse is a significant public health concern worldwide. Early education regarding Good Touch and Bad Touch empowers children to recognize unsafe situations, protect themselves, and report inappropriate behaviour. School-based educational interventions play an important role in improving children's awareness.

Objectives 1) To assess the Pre-test knowledge regarding Good Touch and Bad Touch among primary school students.2) To evaluate the effectiveness of a Planned Teaching Programme (PTP) on knowledge regarding Good Touch and Bad Touch.3) To determine the association between Pre-test knowledge and selected demographic variables.

Methods: A quantitative Pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test research design was adopted. Sixty primary school students aged 5–10 years from Bethany Vidyalaya, Borsi, Durg, were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using a validated self-structured questionnaire consisting of demographic variables and knowledge questions. The Planned Teaching Programme was administered after the pre-test, followed by a post-test after seven days. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and Chi-square test. 

Results: A total of 60 primary school students participated in the study. The majority were aged 9–10 years (66.7%), female (51.7%), studying in the 4th standard (55.0%), belonged to the Hindu religion (88.3%), and lived in joint families (56.7%). At baseline, 83.3% of the students had good knowledge and 16.7% had average knowledge regarding good touch and bad touch, while none demonstrated excellent knowledge. Following the planned teaching programme, 86.7% of students achieved excellent knowledge, and the remaining 13.3% had good knowledge. The mean knowledge score increased significantly from 8.65 ± 2.20 (43.25%) in the pre-test to 17.58 ± 2.47 (87.90%) in the post-test, with a mean difference of 8.93. The paired t-test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge (t = 36.60, df = 59, p < 0.001), confirming the effectiveness of the planned teaching programme. No significant association was found between pre-test knowledge scores and selected sociodemographic variables, including age, gender, class, religion, and family type (p > 0.05). 

Conclusion: The planned teaching programme significantly improved knowledge regarding good touch and bad touch among primary school students. School-based educational interventions can be an effective strategy for increasing children's awareness of personal safety and preventing child sexual abuse.
