Acupressure has been found to be effective in a number of conditions. This study aims at determining the effectiveness of acupressure on achievement stress among high school students. A quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design was used. Statistical analysis of data revealed that acupressure was effective in reducing achievement stress among students within the study group (t= 13.498, p<0.001) and among students between the two study groups (F=74.836, p<.001). KEY WORDS: Acupressure, Achievement Stress, Effectiveness.

Development of children has been considered as an integral part of the national development. Early childhood years are the significant periods in life which are the foundation for several complex behaviours. The key to man's health lies largely in his environment. Much of man's ill health can be traced to adverse environmental factors and man is often responsible for pollution of environment. A study to assess the growth and social maturity of the toddlers in relation to housing structure an dwelling proximity to mass waste dumping site revealed that growth and social maturity were not associated but there was significant relationship of housing structure as well as dwelling proximity to mass waste dumping site with growth and social maturity. The rural toddlers exhibited better growth in comparison to urban slum toddlers with reference to national and international norms. However the urban slum dwellers seem to attain social maturity at an early age. There was no significant difference in social maturity between them except in the Self Help Dressing Skill.Keywords
