Mental Health Inventory was developed and standardized by Dr. Jagadish and Dr. A. K. Srivastava was used for this study. The inventory consists of 56 items of which 32 are positive and 24 are negative statements. Test-retest reliability was found to be 0.77, according to test constructors. The findings of the study revealed that 17% of primary school teachers have low levels of mental health. Approximately sixty-five percent of the teachers have moderate levels of mental health, and the remaining 18% have high levels of mental health. Primary school teachers differ in their levels of mental health. Gender, locality, and teaching experience of living of primary school teachers don't make a significant difference in their mental health.
