comparative study to assess the impact of school culture on psychosocial attributes of vedic and non-vedic school students

Abstract

Youth plays an exceptional part in the advancement of a nation. They turn over political and social structure of their land. United Nations Alliance of Civilization (2013) likewise called youth as the “Pivotal Pool of Talent, Ideas and Energy”. They represent the most rigid fragment of any nation’s population. In a more extensive sense, youth are the pillars of any nation’s future as expressed by the former Indian president. Nowadays, with rapid westernization and urbanization youth are becoming more fixated to superficiality as well as negativity which cause many psychological as well as mental issues like: depression, migraine, insomnia etc. Such a situation is alarming for the individual as well as to its society. Globally, the incidents and intensity of emotional health problems among early adolescents is at a steep rise. The negative energies like stress, depression, laziness, betrayal etc. are getting dominant and if left untouched then it may lead to serious consequences in future by negatively affecting school performance, social and emotional life. It is an experimental intervention study which shows that the Vedic school culture plays an important role in developing positive psychosocial attributes.
