The family is the oldest and the most important of all the institutions that man has devised to regulate and integrate his behaviour as he strives to satisfy his basic needs. Its key position rests on its multiple functions in relation to overall well-being. Therefore, it would emerge that not only the social and physical well-being of the individual is taken care of by the family, but the psychological well-being as well. Because children's lives are centered initially within their families, the family environment becomes the primary agent of socialization. The family environment involves the circumstances and social conditions within families. Since each family is made up of different individuals in a different setting, each family environment is unique. The environments can differ in many ways which directly or indirectly affects the development of youth. The study examined the assessment of family environment of rural youth. The total sample for the present study consists of 40 youth from five operational villages of AICRP, i.e., Nohra, Lakhawali, Maanpura, Bhilwara, and Dangio ka Guda. These youth belonged to the age group of 14-24 years. Frequency and Percentage distribution was used for statistical analysis. Results revealed that overall family environment of rural youth were poor in the aspects of relationship dimensions, personal growth dimensions and system maintainence dimensions.Keywords

The stresses inherent in the daily challenges of life create a need for continuous monitoring and adjustment. It is a nearly continuous process as people are frequently confronted with new and changing environmental demands that can lead to stress. Minimizing, mastering or managing a situation in such a way as to render it less distressing is the goal o f coping. Everyone copes but some ways are better than others. Being able to cope with things makes one a stronger person. This research primarily focused to find out the coping strategies among rural youth in selected states of India. For this purpose, a study was carried out in order to find out the coping strategies of 349 rural youth from selected states of India between the age group o f 14-24 years and to provide results based remedial solutions and interventions. Coping response inventory developed by Moos, 1993 was used to find out the coping skills used by rural adolescents. The scale measures coping skills o f the respondents in two major areas viz. approach coping and avoidance coping. For this purpose, samples were selected from difierent villages of nine states in India which includes Assam (Jorhat), Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad), Haryana (Hissar), Himachal Pradesh (Palampur), Uttar Pradesh (Pantnagar), Rajasthan (Udaipur), Maharashtra (Parbhani), Punjab (Ludhiana), Uttarakhand (Dharwad).
