This concise report adds valuable information to the body of research on teachers at Government Colleges' stress levels. In particular, it reports the stress levels of a representative sample of college teachers of Kashmir as determined by the K. S. Misra (2014)-created Teacher Stress Scale (TSS-MK). A questionnaire assessing the levels of distress among teachers was distributed to a stratified random sample of teachers across the LIT of J&K. A notable response rate to the survey revealed a strong commitment among the teaching staff to addressing and reducing the stressors they experience in the College environment. The findings here support what many teachers have long known-that teaching relates to stress levels well-at a time when the stressfulness of teaching is being debated in the public.
