Gender discrimination can be upischolar_mained through empowerment of women and social awareness. By providing women the opportunity to take active part in socio, economic political and familial decisions this discrimination can be reduced. Women of our country have faced discrimination at all ages, now and hence forth this discrimination continues to exist in various forms. Any denial of equality, gender and opportunity on the bias of gender, is gender discrimination. Nature doesn't discriminate men from women. But women worldwide have been the victim's of inequality not only in terms of social and political rights but also on grounds of employment and opportunities. In the male dominant society women have become habituated of this discrimination. As a result, most women fail to understand their own rights and freedom.. Gender discrimination happens because people think that men are better than women. It seems obvious that women would want to change the system, but men are less likely to want to give up their positions of power However, when men take part in resisting gender discrimination-by treating women with respect. Data were collected from Chaudhriwas, Kalwas, Dahima, and Bhojraj villages of Hisar-1 and Hisar-11 blocks covered under Hisar district of Haryana State by selecting 200 Parents. This paper shows that role and responsibility among gender and decision making by parents for future prospectus to their children.Keywords

The dowry system is a cultural system in India in which the parents of the bride pay a large sum of money, expensive jewellery and other gifts such as car or other household items to the parents of the groom during marriage. The social and cultural efforts of the dowry system are devastating to the society as a whole. Dowry is the result of long standing power in balance between men and women and thus seriously compromises the well being, productivity and contribution of one half the populations. Therefore it was important to bring to light the issues affecting women in this reason. Two hundred women were randomly selected from Karnal and Sirsa districts of Haryana and out of those of 39, who were affected the problem related to dowry in both reasons. It was found that more than half of respondents (51.28%) reported that dowry was demanded before marriage, 30.77% at the time of marriage while 17.95% demanded it after marriage. The maximum numbers of cases regarding dowry demand were made by their husbands (41.03%) in the form of vehicles, cash-money. Jewellery etc. The core reason for dowry was greed like purchase of motor vehicles, business expansion and employment. Customs and ritual were also found as main reason for dowry. Concerted efforts are required to curb violence against women regarding dowry in Haryana.Keywords

From each selected village 10 females and 10 males from 3rd generation (would be parents), 10 females and 10 males from 2nd generation (parents) and 5 females and 5 males from 1st generation (grandparents) were selected. In this way, from each village 25 females and 25 males were selected making a sample size o f600.

Spirituality plays an important role in the lives of all peoples. It is one of the most important sources of strength and direction in people's lives. It is a human phenomenon, which exist in almost all persons. Well-being is a positive outcome that is meaningful for people and for many sectors o f society, because it tells us that people perceive that their lives are going well. Good living conditions (e.g., housing, employment) are fundamental to well-being.The perceptions of older peoples situation should not be and is not generally or inevitably problematic, but some people face considerable insecurity and a lack of well being in old age. Old age is viewed as an unavoidable, undesirable and problem ridden phase of life. Problems of aging usually appear after the age of 65 years. Result showed that all the elderly recognized the importance of spirituality in their lives, and its relationship with old age is in the capacity to bear the limitations, losses and difficulties that are inherent to the process, confronting the suffering involved. The influence of this capacity on Quality of Life is perceived, principally, in the Psychological Health domain, favoring the development of positive thoughts and feelings which give them high levels of satisfaction with their lives.Keywords

The pandemic has affected every aspect of human life, including the agricultural sector. Farmers are the essential components of the food supply chain and play a crucial role in ensuring food security for millions of people worldwide. However the pandemic has severely impacted the health and well-being of the farmers, exacerbating existing challenges they already face. The pandemic has a significant impact on the health of farming families in rural areas of Haryana. The study highlights the impact of COVID-19 on physical and mental health of the farming households. Furthermore, it examine the changes in health seeking behaviour, access to healthcare facilities and the availability of essential medicines and vaccines. The situation overall point towards greater investment in rural healthcare infrastructure to ensure that rural households have access to quality healthcare services. By prioritizing the health and well- being of rural families, we can build a more resilient healthcare system that can withstand future challenges such as pandemics.Keywords
