Abstract
Mental health of students has been a topic of discussion among academicians since long but the present scenario is far from being satisfactory. Multiple mental health issues are bothering students of the present generation and the problem spreads across all students irrespective of their age, gender, caste, religion or family background. The present study takes into account the mental health problems of Scheduled Caste Upper Primary School Students residing in the urban areas of Arambag, Chunchura, Chandernagore, and Sreerampur located in the Hoogly district. The study assesses the rate of prevalence of mental health problems among the upper primary students studying in Bengali medium schools. The survey conducted on 111 students with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire show that the boys exhibit more mental health problems than the girls. The boys also have more degree of peer problems as well as conduct problems when compared to the girls of their age.
