Abstract: Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional wellbeing of individuals and communities. The concept is culturally defined, but generally relates to the enjoyment of life, ability to cope with stresses and sadness, the fulfilment of goals and potential, and a sense of connection to others (Jenkins, 2007). Cutts and Mosaley (1978) has defined mental health as an “ability to adjust satisfactorily to the various strains of the environment; we meet in life and mental hygiene as the means we take to assure this adjustment”. Present study focuses on assessing the mental health status of adolescent girls. A sample of 30girls doing their under graduate was drawn through randomized sampling. Standardized Mental Health Check list by Pramod (1992) was used to assess their mental health status.
