Pant University of Agriculture and Technology was drawn through simple random sampling techniques.

To establish the content validity (Mishra and Gir, 2013, 2014), Mental Health Battery was evaluated by to subject experts and thereafter reliability of the tool was calculated through pilot study (Mishra and Gir, 2013, 2014).
