The research study attempted to compare the home environment of early adolescent students in select government and

private school. For the purpose of the present study 100 students (both boys and girls) with mean age 13 years belonging to

select government and private school in Tirunelveli district were selected using convenient sampling technique. The Home environment

inventory developed by Dr. Karuna Shankar Misra was used to measure home environment of the school students. It suggests that home

environment is an important Psycho social development indicator for the adolescent students. The study indicates that government school

students have less interference from autocratic atmosphere in which many restrictions are imposed on children by the parents in order to discipline

them; the rewarding home environment is found to be more among the private school students; the protectiveness is found to be more among the

private school students.
