personality traits. This study focuses on the role of harmony and balance in
the personality of an individual in order to attain a peaceful life. The total

the age group of 21 to 26 years from all streams. The questionnaire method is
accepted as a tool to collect the data. Inner Peace Scale (IPS–AASSR) and Big
Five Inventory (BFI) are used to measure the inner peace and personality traits
among pre-service teachers respectively. MS Excel software is used to calculate
