Mental health is that characteristics of life by which a person can establish a balance in his situations, wants, aims, feelings, and ambitions. It indicates individual's adjustment to oneself, others and environment including the demands of life. Boehm (1955) reported mental health as a condition and level of social functioning of an individual which is socially acceptable and personality satisfying. The preamble of the World Health Organization's chapter defined health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (Monopolis et al, 1977) The home is the child's first environment. It plays crucial role in the development of personality as it sets the basic pattern of life, a home should be a place in which the child not only can participate in activities but also can relax. The ideal home environment provides an atmosphere The existing literature reveals that application of task persistence in three variable mental health, home environment and self concept has hardly yet caught the attention of researches there by leaving sufficient rational for understanding research in this area.
Therefore the present study was intended to investigate the relationship of task persistence with some personality and environmental variables. The problem under this study is entitled as-" Tools -they are administrated by the following test-1-task persistence (Nisha Dhawan 1998) 2-mental health (Dr. Jagdish &Dr. A.K Srivastav) 3-home environment (Dr.Karuna Shankar mushra) 4-Self-Concept (Dr. Rajkumar sarswat) Task persistence has examined as an acquired behavioral tendency for continuing or pursuing an achievement goal in the face of obstacles .this questionnaire has 20 items as yes or no form.
Mental health has 6 sub dimensions & 56 items it measures the person's ability to make positive self evaluation. To perceive the reality, to integrate the personality, autonomy group oriented attitude &environmental mastery.
Home environment consist of 10 dimensions & 100 items. Home environment is the psychological climate of home as perceived by children. It provides a measure of the quality of the cognitive emotional and social support that has been available to the child with in the home.
Self-concept has 6 dimension & 48 items. It is a individual's way of looking at himself. It also signifies his way of thinking, feeling and behaving. It was found in the present investigation that perception of reality is negative and insignificantly related with task persistence. A student having high aspiration of their carrier and becomes more task persistence after achieving their goal, feeling will more strong and suggests to how to prepare and planed the study. Student become more popular. Just its opposite the perception of reality that a student know very well that hard work get success, even then if he doesn't try their best efforts, but it is false belief nobody can get success with source. Students can see more around their environment that very few people can take high place in their carrier, after having a good source, so it is suggested that student take guidance to their teachers, parents seniors and others scholars. Student should have to develop high aspiration and work hard, than it is sure that can get success in every field. So their society also accepts him that's a really hard work. Students should believe upon their own potential.

Sex variation has been also observed in the present investigation. Male and female subjects were found equal task persistence as It's the age of 20th century women is doing work in every field as male also seen there. Today everywhere is emphasis of woman also modernization and awareness of education towards them female knows about their constitutional right so female are participating in every field as she has interest. The feeling of female that they have same potentials to do every difficult task as male can do. They are paying attention to their house hold duties as well as society also. Formerly females have limited goal and not to do best efforts their thinking is moved around their limited environment where as males set various goal and males get success in their filed as we can see that female have more aspiration level to task persistence so it is suggested to parents, teacher, faculty and scholars and society also that they are motivate to female by giving proper guidelines as they establish their name for moving ahead on their society as we see that awareness of a girl child is less but it is suggested that male is incomplete
