R is a ring with unity, and all modules are unitary right R-modules. The concept of compressible
modules was introduced in 1981 by Zelmanowitz, where module M is called compressible if it can be embedded in
any nonzero submodule A of M . In other words, M is a compressible module if for each nonzero submodule A of
M, f 2 Hom(M;A) exists, such that f is monomorphism. Retractable modules were introduced in 1979 Khuri, where
module M is retractable if Hom(M, A ) 6= 0 for every nonzero submodule A of M . We define a new notion, namely,
essentially retractable module relative to a submodule. In addition, new generalizations of compressible modules
relative to a submodule are introduced, where module M is called compressible module relative to a submodule
N of M . If for all nonzero submodule K of M contains N , then a monomorphism f 2 Hom(M, K) exists. Some
basic properties are studied and many relationships between these classes and other related concepts are presented
and studied. We also introduce another generalization of retractable module, which is called small kernel retractable
module
