Abstract

In the last five years, this scale has been used on a total sample of 6935 subjects both from urban and rural areas in studies carried out in the Department of Geriatric Mental Health, C.S.M. Medical University, Lucknow, and was found to be an effective tool. Besides this, the scale is being used all across the country by various individual researchers/Institutes in their research activities/study programmes, etc[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10] . According to the Housing Policy, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh, 20 to 25 per cent land area has been decreased for the same category of house (LIG, MIG, etc.) in view of increasing population density and accommodating the maximum population in urban areas [11] . [...]one more section of computer proficiency has been added in this profile for both urban and rural areas.
