Description: The case of Jammu and Kashmir assumed quantitative jump in orphan population due to confluence of contending forces from last 26 years. A survey conducted by Kashmir based voluntary organisation puts the figure at 0.015 million in the category of armed conflict, other sources put the figure approximately 0.10 million without any special catgorisation . 
The current analysis and interpretation based up on the real life experience and the field study of orphans is an emancipated application of psychological aspect of the human society especially in the content of conflict which is surrounded by unfortunate conditions of hostile environment making a choice of writing on the neglected species of humankind, who are the victims of violence and conflict, with none of their faults. The current study tries to look at the problem from socio-psychological standpoint along with the domains of quasi politico-economical viewpoints and appendages.  
The in-depth analysis of the situation and events naturally lead to socio-political and economic manifestations pointing towards the terms, like conflict resolution, natural orphans and the orphans of armed conflict. In case of present documentation the orphans or the children in orphanages are focal persons of the study with the randomisation approach adopted. The multilevel dimensions are touched which lead to unfolding of great mysteries  behind  living victims  of the   conflict, the young children who are orphans  and  live  in orphanages  or are outside the ambit  of the cover  and protection.  The basic  set rules of applied  psychology  along with the details  are presented  in  the  mean terms  between the  polished technical  language  which suits the  common man  for  better  understanding  to get the points across the wider readership which include school practitioner, teachers  and policymakers. The various aspects of the orphans are given subsequently and the most important parts are the socio-psychological manifestations of the orphanages and the outcomes.
