Abstract


Electricity Load shedding is proved to be blight for our nation m recent years and badly affected the lives of people both economically and socially, but the derelict part of the observation was the effect of the shortage of electric power supply on the mental and physical health of a normally working adult A survey based cohort study was conducted for four consecutive years (2008 to 2011) on young adult population age ranges from 16-26 Yrs. Cognitive interviews were done includes questions on anxiety, fierceness, depression and all the aggravating factors that affect and enhance these feelings at mild, moderate or severe level. Out of total 1099 youngsters both male and females, 43% of respondents reported feeling down m the dumps only m summers due to load shedding, 32% of respondents reported hostile personalities and mood fluctuations, while remaining 25% reported no severe but in significant changing personality traits. There was also a siginficant difference observed among the populations who are engaged both m education and also doing jobs for survivals. 38% of these found frustrated and reported a decremented m intellectual thinking because of unavailability of resources m time due to shortage of power supply The intensity of anxiety, fierceness is increasing yearly as the situations of load shedding are getting worse. The young population is continuously losing their energies and time management become impossible for them. The problem is not actually load shedding but the time constraint, workload and resources which all are being mismanaged due to this nuisance.
