A sample of 100 students(50 as experimental and 50 as control group) was taken for this study. All students were from senior secondary school level. To measure academic achievement of the students, the marks obtained by them in half yearly and annual examination were considered. After half yearly examination, the experimental group students were undergone yogic practices for 1 hour daily for 6 months. Mean, standard deviation and T-test statistical tools were used to find out the significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores of academic achievement of experimental and control group students. Results show that there is a significant and important effect of yogic practices on the academic achievement of senior secondary school students.
