Out of these selected adolescent school girls, 400 were studying in government schools while 400 were studying in private schools. Stratified proportionate random sampling method was used in the present study. To assess empowerment in selected adolescent girls, Adolescent Girls' Empowerment Scale (AGES) prepared by Sisodia and Singh (2009) was used.
