Abstract
This paper presents the effect of six weeks Kinhin Walking Meditation on stress and anxiety management of first year engineering male students of H.V.P.M. Institution, Amravati, India.The objective was to compare adjusted mean scores of pre-test and post-test of stress and anxiety.The Hypothesis as Null Form that there is no significant difference of adjusted mean scores of pre-test and post-test of Stress and Anxiety of First Year Engineering Male Students of H.V.P.M. Institution by considering their pre-test mean score as covariate, when Stress assessed by Stress Scale developed by Singh (2002) and Anxiety assessed by Anxiety Test (Srivastava, 1977).The selection of sample on the basis of Simple Random Sampling Methods and size of sample was 40, and the source of subjects was 40 first year male students of Engineering College, H.V.P.M. Institution, Amravati.One-way Analysis of Co-variance was used for analyzing the data.Stress and Anxiety mean scores were found to be significant and Kinhin Walking Meditation found to be effective to manage Anxiety and Stress Level of first year engineering male students of H.V.P.M. Institution.Amravati.
