1. Introduction:
Education in India continues to be about serious matters like choosing a career, becoming employable,
preparing for an unknown future etc. Therefore, the entire learning process is centralised and
evaluation-result driven. Socio-emotional development of the students is in the form of adolescent
education but beyond that it’s all about chasing highest numbers or grades. Hence ‘happiness’ seems to
be an alien concept in the school curriculum.

2. Objective:
The primary objective of this study is to understand the various aspects like social, environmental,
economic and personal issues that are causing mental stress to a student and eventually leading to an
unhappy,, unsatisfactory illness in them.

3. Questionnaire:
In order to understand and get an interesting insight about the present scenario of happiness and mental
illness in students. I choose to conduct my study on final year engineering students from Jawaharlal
Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad. The questionnaire is mainly framed to analyse both
qualitative and quantitative data outcomes of the existing scenario.
