        abstract = {The purpose of the present study was to find out the influence of gender, locality and attitude towards science on achievement in science. For this purpose, 600 students of Grade X were selected from 10 secondary schools of the Kumaun region of Uttarakhand using the simple random sampling technique. 
To collect the data, the Attitude towards Science Scale developed and standardized by Rai (2007) and the Learning Environment Scale developed by Rai (2007) were used. For data analysis, the t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied. The study revealed that the influence of gender on achievement in science was significant in favor of male students, whereas the influence of locality was not found to be significant. A significant and positive influence of attitude towards science on achievement in science was also observed.},
