Resilience is the ability to succeed despite a lot of barriers, hurdles, and obstacles that make it difficult for students to succeed in life. The resilience level of students is critical as it assists them in adjusting their life pressures, stresses, adapting to new environments and overcoming challenges. The current study aimed to investigate the gender difference in resilience among the students of IIT Kharagpur belonging to two different age groups. The sample consisted of 137 students, including 80 boys and 57 girls. The instruments used were Schutte's Emotional Intelligence Scale for emotional intelligence and the Brief Resilience Scale for resilience. Product Moment Correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the association between emotional intelligence, CGPA, and resilience. The findings revealed that female students are more resilient than male students, and there was no association between CGPA and resilience. However, there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience. Studies on resilience could be helpful for educational psychologists, counselors, educational researchers, and curriculum developers to organize some programs to enhance the coping and resilience level of students, which may have a direct effect on students' performance and educational level.Keywords

Migration for livelihood and well-being of self and family members is as old as the history of human beings. While migration is associated with the overall well-being of migrants and their families, there are several problems about happiness that arise for migrants, notably those who relocate from one nation to another. This study is based on the review of prior research that examines the findings and implications for institutional policies and procedures. The work defines and elucidates migration and well-being, and the relationship between the two from a global perspective. The findings suggest that of study of migration and well-being should be examined with caution, as it is still in its infancy . There is a need for optimised data, particularly data that can aid in our understanding of the impacts and consequences of migration more broadly, as well as data that can aid in our understanding of the effects and outcomes of migration more broadly.Keywords

The study of subjective well-being has become a prime new topic in what we know about the causes and effects of migration. It has the potential to make important contributions to the field of migration studies. This paper tries to organise and assess the developing research on migration and happiness from a worldwide perspective. Both internal and international migration are examined in this paper, which also takes into account the perspectives of many stakeholders, like migrants themselves, as well as the host communities and extended families that they leave behind. The study found that migration decisions are greatly influenced by happiness, with somewhat dissatisfied people moving to happier places even after taking into consideration traditional migration predictors. When it comes to global migration, the majority of international migrants report happiness gains, whereas hosting communities have a mixed but minor effect, and family members who remain behind report an overall favourable impact on evaluative well-being but a negative impact on emotional well-being. The consequences, on the other hand, are highly context-dependent and there is a significant variance between individuals. Internal migrants are less affected by migration. Overall, the study concludes that migration improves the world by primarily benefiting migrants while having only minor negative consequences for host communities.
