Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) seeks to standardize the care asthma patients receive. The knowledge, attitude, and practices of doctors in Jammu and Kashmir, regarding asthma management and determination of the extent to which they abide by GINA guidelines in their management of asthma was assessed in the present study. Methodology: A self‑administered questionnaire was used to obtain information from the participants regarding knowledge of asthma prevalence, asthma risk factors, and management practices. Results: Out of 320 questionnaires, 250 responses were recorded giving a response rate of about 78.13%. About 67.6% were men, and the most common age group was 30–39 years (52.4%). Of a total of 250 respondents, 167 (66.8%) knew about GINA guidelines for asthma control whereas only 68 (27.2%) apply GINA guidelines in patient care, making it a cause of concern. Conclusion: There is an urgent need for awareness among Doctors in Jammu and Kashmir regarding
