ABSTRACT
The current study examines the difference between male and female madrasa students on religiosity and mental health. In order to measure religiosity the Duke University Religion Index (DURLEL) which was devised at National Institute of Aging and the Fetzer institute conference (16–17 March 1995) was employed and for measuring mental health, Mental Health Inventory (MHI) developed by Jagdish and Srivastava (1995) was used. The findings suggest that there is no significant difference between male and female madrasa students on religiosity and mental health.
