A study was carried out at Karmada High school students of Purkot V.D.C., Tanahun, Nepal from October 2016 to November 2016. A total of 145 students were screened for ABO and Rh blood group. Blood samples were collected by finger prick method. A drop of Anti-sera A, B, and Anti D were added to a drop of blood on clean and fresh glass slides and mixed well with glass rod. Out of 145 high school children processed for blood groupings 68(46.9%) were female and 77(53.1%) were male attendant. Among 145 ABO blood groups in students A group was seen in 48(33.1%), B group 32(22.1%), AB group 18(12.4%) and O group 47(32.4%) in both male and female students and the P = 0.012 was seen significant in the male and female of A blood group. Out of 145 students only 2(1.4%) had Rh negative and rest 143(98.6%) had Rh positive group.
