The Social relationship which assumes importance for education, health, employment, social life and old age security is expectedly associated with various socio-economic characteristics of an individual. It is also time specific and varies across persons and places. In view of this assumption a study of aspects of social relationship of rural youths (aged between 15-29 years) was conducted in Balasore district of Odisha. The result of the study, based on analysis and descriptive statistical methods, reveals that social relation is depended on various socioeconomic conditions of the youth. Also that poor youth in rural areas bear the double burden of poor social relationships and lower socio-economic status. This impel us to suggest the needs of state intervention through policies, programmes and legal provisions, if required.- Reproduced
