The present study has been conducted with the objective to study the social behaviour of orphanage-reared and family-reared students of class 6thto 8th standard. A sample of 100 orphanage-reared students and a sample of 100 family-reared students studying with them were taken from three KAVAL towns (Allahabad, Varanasi and Lucknow.) of Uttar Pradesh. The data was collected using Social Behaviour Questionnaire developed by S.K. Pal, K.S Misra, Meenu Gupta. The result suggests that significant difference exists between orphanage-reared students and family-reared students.
