Family is considered as the chisel that sculpts an individual. It plays an important role in forming the identity and personality of individuals as they grow up. A healthy family environment produces physically, mentally and socially healthy individuals. The family functionality of an individual plays a significant role in forming the identity of an individual. Terrorism, molestations, substance abuse and homicides are few among the many issues that are observed amongst today’s youngsters due to an unhealthy family function. In the recent past people have recognized the necessity of emotional quotient or EQ and consider it equally important as IQ. Many researches have been done to study the relationship between family functionality and emotional intelligence. The purpose of this humble research is to study the relationship between the emotional intelligence of undergraduate students in India using quantitative methods. We need to study about family functionality in order to cultivate a better society.
