Abstract
Social support is one of the most important aspect of human life which gives meaning to a person's self-esteem and makes a person more satisfied in his life. Both of these aspects are severely damaged among physically challenged people. Their inability to perform daily chores leads to negative attitude of the society towards them thus forcing that person leading an unsatisfied life. This interested the researcher to examine the effectiveness of vocational training on social support and life satisfaction among physically challenged group. A sample of 60 physically challenged adults of 20 to 35 years of age who enrolled themselves for vocational training for three months were administered with P.G.I. Social support Questionnaire and Life Satisfaction Scale. The results obtained through t-test analysis revealed significant difference between pre and post results of social support and life satisfaction. Thus, we can conclude that physically challenged people who receive vocational training are able to get positive support from society and experience satisfaction in their life which leads to development of a positive, healthier and happier life in future.
