effects on students, with special focus on grades 9th and 10th students of
the selected boys’ schools in district Multan.The major objective of the

punishment on the students of the above mentioned classes. This study is
first of its nature in district Multan. The total sample size taken from
students, teachers and parents were 607. It was found that corporal
punishment remained a hurdle in developing good teacher-student
relationship, character building; increased dropout rate, discouragement of
learning environment, hatred impression for teachers, impaired interest
in their students study. Moreover, corporal punishment became the major
