There are reasons, under Indian conditions women bear dual responsibility of discharging duties at family front and professional. To perform both responsibilities successfully and efficiently, may lead to some degree of stress and tension, affecting mental health inventory adversely. The study also reveals that the unmarried teachers score higher on mental health inventory scale than married one. This implies that after marriage, teachers bear more family responsibility in addition to professional duties.

To meet multi expectations from students, parents, and the management may be the reason. They are facing lot of stress and try to achieve target entrusted by the school management and parents.
