Many researchers have focused attention on ergonomics in work environments in past few decades. Keywords: Anthropometry, Classroom Furniture, Ergonomic design. The results from the present study show that there is substantial mismatch between the existing classroom furniture and the anthropometric measurements of the students. The existing classroom furniture dimensions were compared with these match criteria. Using these parameters in the combinational equations, the match limits for different desk dimensions are computed. Statistical analysis of the anthropometric data collected was done and relevant statistical parameters are estimated using SPSS software. For the ergonomic evaluation of classroom furniture, match criteria and combinational equations given by various researchers were taken into consideration. Similarly, Dimensions of the existing desks available in the respective classrooms were also measured. Various anthropometric measurements of the students are taken. For this purpose, 982 students in the age group 10-16 years are selected from 3 different schools from Solapur city.
