The present study has tried to explore the effect of Progressive Muscular Relaxation Technique (PMRT) in managing Depression of No-Collar Workers. The data was collected on 100 adolescents who were selected randomly from Lucknow,UP. Only those respondents were chosen for the study who reported high Depression. The sample responded to the valid and reliable instrument. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Construct by Beck, et al (1961) was used to measure Depression of the No-Collar Workers . The design which was used to conceptualize the study and analyze the data was 2x2 factorial design with two indepandent variables: one being Before and after conditions of PMRT and another being gender of the respondents. Results of the present study have revealed that the PMRT has significantly decreased the level of depression among No-Collar Workers. These results have supported the hypothesis of the present study. The present study would be very important for the policy makers and guidance and counselling professionals as depression is the vital issue which affects the productivity as well as mental health of the employees adversely.
