The intervention programs to enhance resilience among the subjects included inputs to maximize
the cognitive social learning. The intervention programs provided scaffolding for development of
the participants by providing an environment that supports development of resilience. The
invention focused on providing information to the rural college students on certain psychological
concepts that have relevance to resilience potential and discussing the concepts generating
possibilities of applying them for furthering their individual resources to do better despite facing
the existing adversities. The concepts introduced to the students include conscientiousness, selfconcept,
and creativity, locus of control, motivation and level of aspiration, study skills, and
academic attitudes. The intervention consisted of imparting 7 sessions designed to foster
resilience and academic resilience to the participants. Intervention for the experimental group
was carried out over a span of 3 months and a half. Following the intervention the postintervention
evaluation was conducted.
