Total one hundred consecutive anemic patients were selected from the laboratory. The sample for test were collected in EDTA tube and tested on automated analyzer (RaytoHaemarray 83) for hematology indices and other parameters.Microscopic examination of slides was done for peripheral smear examination by leishman’s staining. Results: Microcytic hypochromic anemia is the most common type of anemia in adults, more in reproductive age group indicating iron deficiency as the main cause.Most affected aged group 21–30 years.  It was followed by dimorphic anemia both in men and women.Anemia was present in 44% of men and in 56% of women.Conclusion: Anemia is found to be a major public health problem in the study area and is associated with nutritional deficiency, chronic disorders and infection.
