Hypertension is of the main risk factors for cardiovascular illnesses in the world is hypertension. Even with strong academic literacy rates, there is still a lack of knowledge about hypertension, especially among aspiring medical professionals. It is a critical gamble factor for cardiovascular illnesses, adding to a significant worldwide well-being trouble. To figure out how common hypertension is and how well-informed the Government College, University, and Community is about its symptoms, risk factors, and treatment. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis methods were used. Around 43, participants, including staff, instructors, and students, participated in a cross-sectional descriptive study from January 2024 to August 2024. Direct blood pressure readings and a structured questionnaire were used to gather data. The review uncovers a high predominance of hypertension (79.0%), with prominent contrasts between sexes. The review uncovered a high commonness of hypertension (79.0%) among people at Government College, University, and Hyderabad, with a striking orientation divergence. While mindfulness and treatment rates were high, certain risk factors like age, orientation, and family ancestry were distinguished as contributing elements to hypertension predominance. Even if the populace is medically aware, there is a significant knowledge and management gap regarding hypertension within Government College, University and its academic community. To close this disparity and encourage better behaviours, targeted health education campaigns and routine screening programs are of paramount importance.
