The common perspective that exists among every individuals is that the work life conflict affects the quality of life of the working individuals and since, this statement subjects to variation and it needs to be tested the following objectives have been framed for the study. The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between work to family and family to work conflict and their effect on the quality of life among leather industry workers in Vellore. Data were gathered from 761 married workers employed in leather firms through a simple random sampling technique. The study has adopted the simple random sampling technique of data collection mainly due to its advantage of the probabilities of selecting each and every member of the target population as the samples for the study. SEM model is used for data analysis. The study identified that the rewards and recognition factors have a strong correlation with work to family conflict and employees’ health & that of their family members construct has a more positive association with the family to work conflict. On the other hand, work to family conflict possesses more impact over the quality of life than that of the normal family to work conflict. Results recommended that the government, Non-Government Organizations, and Women Self-help Groups must take necessary further measures such as quality of life awareness programs, alteration of working hours & ensuring employees' and their family members' well-being to avoid the work-life conflict issues and to improve their quality of life. This type of research would be highly helpful in order to conduct behavioural studies among the working individuals in the near future.

Knowledge regarding morbidity profile is important for timely intervention so as to improve the quality of life. For effective health strategies, it is important to know the disease burden of a community. As for the effective preventive strategies, it’s important to know the information regarding disease burden and changing trends of diseases in the locality. Hence this study was done to find the morbidity pattern of urban population in Bellary district, Karnataka. METHODS A cross sectional study was carried out in Millerpet, urban health training centre (UHTC), Bellary, Karnataka. The respective UHTC covers 69195 populations, which has eight wards. Simple random sampling technique was adopted to select the ward. The study was carried out in the selected ward and the study duration was for a period of 3 months. Based on the estimated sample size, 416 houses were selected using random number method. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 26 was used for analysing data. Descriptive statistics were used to describe socio demographic and morbidity conditions. RESULTS The most common morbidity among 416 houses were found to be diabetes (22.8 %) followed by hypertension (20 %) and musculoskeletal problems (9 %). Majority of the houses were of nuclear type and the most common age group was 31 - 60 (91.8 %) years followed by 13 - 30 years (80.8 %). 167 (40.1 %) houses had at least one morbidity and 451 (41.4) subjects had at least one morbidity. Socio-demographic variables like age group, family size, monthly income, occupation of head of the family and type of the family were found to be statistically significant.
