The purpose of the study was to assess the amount of stress among primary school teachers in Hoshangabad, evaluate the efficiency of laughing therapy in lowering their level of stress, and discover a relationship between their pre-test level of stress and chosen demographic characteristics. A pre-experimental research was carried out among primary school teachers at Servite Convent English Medium School in Hoshangabd, near Housing Board Road. The data collecting period was extended from January 21 to February 21. Thirty elementary school teachers were chosen using purposive sampling. There was a pre-test, an intervention, and a post-test. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The study found that most instructors' stress levels were moderate in the pre-test and mild in the post-test. It was severe in 10% of the instructors in the pre-test, but no one showed significant stress in the post-test. The mean stress score after the exam was lower than the mean stress score before the test. A substantial relationship was discovered between the amount of stress and certain demographic characteristics such as age and stress-reduction strategies. The majority of primary school instructors had mild to moderate stress, which was alleviated by laughing therapy.  As a result, laughing therapy should be employed to relieve stress among elementary school instructors.
