A study was conducted to evaluate the interactive effects of the reward system on academic achievement in the Bareilly District of Uttar Pradesh and suggest recommendations for policymakers. The present study was quasi-experimental. The subject of the study were the children from primary, junior high school, and secondary classes of Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Board (UPSEB/CBSE) schools/colleges of Bareilly District of Uttar Pradesh. The subjects included students of both female and male gender from rural and urban localities under the course of the present research as respondents. Two blocks (one rural and urban each) of Bareilly (UP) were randomly selected for the present research. One school of each of the three standards viz. primary, junior high school, and secondary was randomly localized to grave the information. Finally, 10 (five girls and boys each) students from each school/ college were randomly selected as the respondent in the present research work. Thus a total of 60 students acted as the respondent in the present study. The data for the research was collected with the help of standardized or validated tests (validity 0.84 and Reliability 0.91). Statistics dealt with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. Computer software like SPSS version 17 (SPSS, 1998) and Microsoft Excel version 2007 (MS Office, 2016) were employed for statistical calculations. Based on the present study it can be recommended that an intrinsic achievement system should be implemented and boy students and students from rural localities needed attention to the improvement of achievements in the Bareilly District of Uttar Pradesh.
