Abstract: The present research aims to study the relationship between Subjective wellbeing and Cognitive development among socially deprived and non-deprived, Urban and Rural School Students of Himachal Pradesh. The study has been conducted on a sample of N=480 school students of Himachal Pradesh, India, whose subjective wellbeing was assessed with the help of PGI General Wellbeing Measure; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-HX-I & II, Satisfaction with Life scale. A 2×2 ANOVA has been implemented for analyzing the results. The findings of the study indicated that subjective wellbeing significantly affected cognitive development among urban and rural, SC and NSC students. Hence, there is a strong need for having a second look at policy formulation intended for the welfare of the students belonging to the deprived sections of both urban and rural areas.
