Present study was an attempt to assess the prevailing academic anxiety among rural and urban adolescent girls of Ludhiana district. Many studies have reported that girls show greater academic anxiety than boys and the levels of anxiety also differ in rural and urban settings. Keeping this in view the present research was carried out in rural and urban senior secondary schools of Ludhiana district. A total sample consisted of 100 adolescent girls in the age group of 15-16 years, evenly distributed over rural and urban areas (50 rural and 50 urban). The results of the present study revealed that majority of rural and urban girls had moderate level of academic anxiety. The mean scores indicated that rural girls experienced significantly higher levels of academic anxiety as compared to their counterparts. The results emphasise the need to provide better educational facilities in rural areas and to teach adolescent girls strategies for effective management of their anxiety.Keywords

Agriculture has always been a significant factor in the sustainability and development of human society. Unfortunately, the important role of agriculture as a foundation for a secure and durable civilization is not always apparent to those outside of agriculture. The present research was framed to study socio-personal characteristics and gender difference in awareness regarding agriculture among rural school going adolescents and to study the correlation of socio-personal characteristics and gender differences in awareness regarding agriculture among rural school going adolescents. A sample comprised of 120 rural school- going adolescents was purposively selected from two villages of Ludhiana district. Socio-economic status scale (AICRP) has been used to measure the socio-economic status of the respondent. Self- structured questionnaire was used to gather information regarding awareness level with respect to agriculture. Results revealed that awareness level of adolescent girls about agriculture was comparatively higher than their counterparts. Correlation analysis also found that there is no significant relationship in respondents' socio-economic characteristics and their awareness level regarding agriculture.Keywords
