SUPW (Socially Useful Productive Work) is very close to the concept of basic education, given by Mahatma Gandhi, according to which education in and through work is important. SUPW is a prevocational subject at secondary school level that enables students to become self-reliant. But still the subject suffers from ineffective implementation as well as gender stereotypes constrain in the society. The choice of activities for SUPW is mostly different in case of boys and girls. The study clearly proves the prevalence of gender stereotypes in the mind-sets of students that is not only affecting their choice of vocations but also attitude towards the subject like SUPW. Repetitive and traditional activities performed under SUPW are making the subject very boring and burden on the students. Concept clarity about the real meaning of SUPW is required in students' .The roots of the subject need strengthening and improvisation by transformation of activities under it; to achieve the goal of work centred education and experiential learning irrespective of gender stereotypes.

Marital satisfaction is an essential element for successful family life and personal growth. The fulfillment and positive development will be possible only when the relationship between couples is coherent and satisfactory. In a society like India, the active engagement of women in the employment sector and their dual role has significant correlation with the marital satisfaction. Different factors have significant influence on the occupational stress like marital satisfaction, personality of the partner, nature of job, child rearing responsibility, sexual satisfaction and communication patterns are some of the examples. The present study was based on 2x2 factorial design which has focused on the marital satisfaction and occupational stress. For this purpose 160 (80 male & 80 female) bank employees, from both private and government banks of western UP, have been selected for the study using purposive sampling procedure.

There is a popular perception and apprehension that society is changing very fast and children are becoming more independent, outgoing, less respecting their elders, adopting the western cultures and by that way they are losing the Indian values. There is a debate among the social psychologists and sociologists about the nature and pace of social change and about erosion of Indian traditional values. Whether the Indian cultures, society and values are really changing or it is only media hype? However, there is an agreement among the majority of Indian social scientists that though there is a change in the fashion, technology, life styles, markets, education etc but the spirit of the Indian traditional values are still intact but there is a common doubt that whether it will be intact in future or not? Forces of social change such as globalisation, urbanisation, migration, higher education, employment etc. will impact the Indian values. Thus, there is need to protect and preserve the existing social institutions such as family, neighbourhoods, kinships, role of elderly and many institutionalised behavioural patterns such as respect and services to the elderly, parents, widows, disabled, unemployed etc in the society. This paper based on review of research, analyses the role of traditional social institutions for inculcating, preserving and strengthening values among the Indian children from the psychological point of view.
