Stress among the Indian Armed Forces has been a topic of discussion in
the lay press, among civil society, and the political classes over the last decade,
often leading to considerable concern for the military leadership. Alleged
increases in the rates of suicide, fratricide, stress related physical disorders,
psychiatric illnesses, and substance use have been quoted in the lay press and
these figures were viewed with concern by the law makers.
In recent years, the frequent reports of suicide and fragging cases among
armed forces personnel have prompted several questions about the negative
effects of stressful life experiences on the well-being of soldiers. Nearly 400
paramilitary men committed suicide or died in fratricide incidents in 2009-12,
which is more than the number of paramilitary men killed in action fighting
terrorists, a home ministry report says. The deaths since 2009 due to suicides
and fratricides in the paramilitary forces are in fact higher than similar deaths
reported in the Indian Army. As many as 375 men in the army committed
suicide in 2009-12 while the seven paramilitary forces together have reported
398 such deaths. The armys strength of almost 12 lakh is nearly four lakh
personnel more than all paramilitary forces put together.

 What is of concern to the Ministry of Home Affairs(MHA) is it has lost
more paramilitary men due to suicides or colleagues opening fire on each other
than actually in action- the ministry's report says that 328 paramilitary men have
died fighting terrorists, North-East extremists and Maoists since the year 2009.
Controversially, the ministry is blaming alcoholism and extra-marital affairs as
among the reasons for such a high number of paramilitary men ending their
lives. "According to a Court of Inquiry conducted in each such case, the reasons
behind such incidents are personal or domestic problems, illness, mental stress,
alcoholic dependence, marital affairs and financial crisis of the concerned
individual. Bureau of Police Research and Development study in 2005 had
"confirmed existence of stress" among the paramilitary personnel. The figures of
Mail Today show 44,000 paramilitary personnel have taken voluntary
retirement or resigned from the forces in 2009-12. The CRPF, BSF and CISF
seem the worst affected. Since 2009, 138 personnel of the CRPF have
committed suicide and 11,600 have quit the force. Over 20,000 men have quit
the BSF in 2009-12 and 113 men committed suicide while 36 BSF were killed
in action. And 5,000 personnel quit the CISF in the 2009-12 three years while
52 died by way of suicides and fratricides. PTI (2016) report that For the first
time, government has decided to hire "stress counsellors" in paramilitary forces
in order to curb instances of suicide and mental and behavioral disorders
amongst troops working under acute pressure in some of the toughest combat
zones of the country.
Today we are living in the sea of chemicals. We are using them in most
of our activity for making our life easy. They can do this but on the other side
they are also responsible for creating various type of diseases or disorders to
cure them we are again using chemicals in form of drugs. There is no doubt that
drugs have the ability to cure them, but on the other side it is a well establish
fact that each drug has some sort of side effects on the body of livings including
human body and sometime side effects are converting in to serious problems
leading up to death. On the other side today’s hectic life style and working
stress creating various types of health problems such as unusual B.P.,
Cardiovascular problems, headache, depression, sleeplessness, nervous
disorders etc. which are sometime converted in to serious problems. Now a days
in place to fight these problems, most of us and teenagers are starting use of
alcohol, smoking and other unhealthy things to overcome the stress, tension,

depression but they are helpful for time being and become emerged itself as a
new problem after a time period and this will affect the working efficiency of
employee; ultimately the growth of a nation
Music has frequently been used as a therapeutic agent from the ancient
times. Melody is the keynote of Indian Music. There are countless ‘Ragas’ of
course with countless characteristic peculiarities of their own. That’s why
different types of Ragas are applied in each different case. When the term Music
Therapy is used, we think world-wide system of therapy. Music plays an
effective role in subduing the so-called emotional imbalance. Present study is
plan to evaluate the effect of different type of sound on hemato-biochemical
parameters related with the hypertension and cardiovascular disorders.
Blood is a fluid connective tissue easily obtained from the volunteers It
provides a means by which the constancy of the internal environment is
maintained. The blood is index of the state of health of a body. Any change in
the composition of blood reflects the whole body metabolism. After hemato-
biochemical observations one can diagnose the normal or abnormal condition of
body. The biophysical techniques such as ECG, BP, Respiratory Rate etc. will
support to identify the role of music on body physiology. The role of drug is
either stimulated or compensates the defense system so our body fights with
disease and disorder. Music can work in similar way. It is an established fact
that brain is controlling entire metabolism, gene activation, biochemistry,
hematology, physiology etc. of the body through different mechanisms and if
any mechanism disturbed by any agents (antigens) it reflects in form of disease
or disorder. So anything which is capable to influence the brain also influences
the entire metabolism and physiology of body. No debut this can be done by
sound vibrations in form of music.
The current study is an attempt to bring forward the beneficial
effects of pleasant sounds on stress anxiety and other hematological
parameters of PMFs so they can cope with adverse situation and stress.

 Historical Résumé

Stress in Para Military Forces (PMFs)

Mostert and Joubert (2005) found that higher occupational stress in South
African police officers was associated with higher levels of burnout, especially
if these officers used avoidance coping mechanisms. Officers experiencing
burnout are also more likely to report their intention to change jobs, suggesting
that burnout is also costly for organizations (Jackson and Maslach, 1982).
Burnout is especially problematic among law enforcement officers because it
leads to both physical and behavioral health risks for the individual coupled
with decreased work functioning (Kohan and Mazmanian, 2003), possibly
endangering their loved ones, colleagues, and the people they serve (Jaiswal,
Dixit and Sajjan, 2015). It can also make individuals more likely to condone
officer violence (Kop et al., 1999) or use excessive force themselves (Kumar
and Dangi, 2012).These effects may result in a dangerous situation for not only
the officers themselves but also for the general public. Excessive stress affects
the health of personnel and results in higher rates of mental health issues, such
as high suicide rates, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and decreased job
satisfaction(Singh, 2007). According to Chhabra and Chhabra (2013),the
suicide rates in the Border Security Force (BSF), an Indian paramilitary force,
were above both the national average and that of the Indian Army, but suicide is
often dismissed as related to the individual and not situational stemming from
their high stress career. BSF personnel were identified to be suffering from high
levels of occupational stress for a large number of reasons, including personal,
family, and organizational issues. In a subsequent study in 2010, Mishra
examined suicide among BSF personnel (n=10,275) between 2007 and 2009
and found that respondents reported a host of stressors: relationship difficulties
(63%), multiple problems (unspecified 60%), work related problems (37%),
mental health issues (37%), substance abuse (29%), financial problems (24%),
involvement in criminal activity (18%), and legal problems like departmental
investigation (14%). Mishra suggested that these stressors were most likely the
causes of the high incidence of suicide among BSF personnel. However, the
symptoms of stress have not been studied in Indian Paramilitary forces.

Many cultures recognize the importance of music and sound as a healing
power. In the ancient civilization of our country (India), the Orient, Africa,
Europe and among the Aboriginal and American Indians, the practice of using
sound to heal and achieve balance from within has existed for many years. The
Tibetans still use bells, chimes, bowls and chanting as the foundation of their
spiritual practice. In Bali, Indonesia, the echoing gamelang, gong and drum are
used in ceremonies to uplift the send massages. The Australian, Aboriginal and
Native American shamanists use vocal toning and repetitive sound vibration
with instruments created from nature in sacred ceremony to adjust any
imbalance of spirit, emotions or physical being. Navajo Indians “singings”
weave together and painting and chanting as healing therapy. Chinese
traditional music therapy is being used today in china on traditional instruments
to aid patients with modern disorders.

Interdisciplinary relevance
 The proposed work is innovative and interdisciplinary in nature as it
involves the role of three subjects viz. Zoology, music and
biochemistry
 Music therapy is using since time immemorial but how it works
scientifically is still in debut. The present project is designed to know the
cytogenetic hemato-biochemical impact of music through scientific way.
Its potential contribution Society
 The findings will also help the heavily burdened peoples of Para military
forces Police, Defiance etc to increase their work efficiency by reducing
their anxiety, stress, depression, and psychiatric disorders.
 As a complement to rehabilitation care, output of proposed work can be
used to strengthen communication and physical coordination skills, and
improve the physical and mental functioning of those with neurological
disabilities or developmental, disorders. It will also useful in newborn
care of premature infants. Those with learning disabilities and speech and
hearing problems may also find music therapy helpful. Music therapy can
be used to reduce the need for medication during childbirth and to
complement the use of anaesthesia during micro surgery such as
angioplasty, dental work.
 The findings of proposed work helps the Music therapists work with all
age groups, from infants to the elderly, and can be found in a variety of
settings, including private practice, school, senior centres and nursing
homes, outpatient clinics, psychiatric and medical hospitals.

 Objective of study

The objective of this study is to examine the prevalence of stress among

officers and staff of one of India’s Para Military Forces (PMFs) by assessing
their mental, emotional, and behavioral health using a computer-based self-
assessment screening tool and management of stress by pleasant sound
scientifically
This study is also to answer the question in scientific way, that why we
feel cool and calm when we listen specific music and in acoustical environment.
How the pleasant sound affect us? Have pleasant sounds the power to effect
physiology of livings? This study setup a relation between pleasant sound and
hemato-biochemistry. The findings of this study will help the government to
smange, control and cure of stress and related disorders in PFMs.
The present proposal is an innovative in nature to know the beneficial
aspects of sound vibrations. The power of sound can explained by the example
of atomic energy, where uncontrolled atomic powers give us atom bomb of
destructive nature and controlled atomic power give us atomic energy of
constructive nature. Similarly uncontrolled sound results to sound pollution
of destructive nature and controlled sound give us its therapeutic use in form
of Music therapy.

 Material and Method

Selection of Pleasant Sound (Test compound)

Pleasant sounds is selected on the basis of their property and mood of a
person as per “DCS theory”. Sound recorded from various natural habitat and
pre-recorded music is used for the study. For volunteers specific prerecorded
natural sounds, songs and music based on ragas are selected from the list they
have been provided in questionnaire.
Selected pleasant sounds are given to the volunteers for a period of
30,60,90 and 120 days. The biochemical analysis of blood samples and
biophysical analysis are carried at 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 120 days.
The blood samples of volunteers are collected by a paramedical staff of
CRPF hospitals. Volunteers are allowed to listen a specific sounds through head
phones provided them at home after training them in workshops organized in
department on Sundays and holidays. Control groups of humans are also
assigned to listen to taped “white noise” (“White noise” or “synthetic silence” is
an attempt to block out environmental noise. In this case it was a pre nature
sound such as sea sounds, which themselves are rhythmic) through headphones,
or to a control group.
