| Abstract: | Introduction Effective management of biomedical waste is not only a legal necessity but also a social responsibility. Inadequate and inappropriate knowledge of handling of healthcare waste may have serious health consequences and a significant impact on the environment as well.

A self-administered, piloted and validated questionnaire was administered to the interns working at Maheshwara Medical College.
