Abstract

A randomized study was conducted on a group of 100 students of age group 14-17 years. Two groups of 50 students each were formed. The control group was taught about space gallery using English language and the experimental group using vernacular language (Punjabi). The results showed that in experimental group out of 50 about 31 students got more than 60 % of marks. While, in control group only 2 students out of 50 got more than 60 % of marks. The results implicated that understanding scientific principles in vernacular language gave remarkable results in rural students by avoiding language constraint.
