In order to accomplish their individual, social and academic objectives successfully, students required possessing a set of competencies and a required level of intelligence. Self concept of Vatsalyadham’s children have become some of the most influential phenomenon in the management of educational and environmantal stress. The present research attempt has been made (1) to study the effect of gender on self-concept of Secondary school level children (2) to study the effect of age on self-concept of Secondary school level children. It was hypothesized that gender and age have no impact on self concept of Vatsalyadham’s children. To measure selfconcept, self concept scale for children developed by Singh, H and Singh, S. published by Agra Psychological Research Cell was used. For result analysis ‘t’ test and one way ANOVA test was implemented: and I found that self concept of girls was higher than the boys. Whereas age has no impact on self concept of Vatsalyadham’s children. All the three age groups of Vatsalyadham’s children have more or less similar self concept.
