The present study was carried out for investigating teacher's morale of rural and urban secondary school teachers. Two research objectives and one null hypothesis guided the present study. 120 secondary school teachers have been selected randomly from ten secondary schools of Kulgam and Srinagar districts (J&K). Jamal & Raheem's Teachers' Morale Scale (2013) is a standardized tool adapted to obtain the required data. Percentage and t-test were used for analyzing the data. The findings of the study reported that urban secondary school teachers have comparatively high teachers' morale than rural secondary school teachers.

Information blank was used to identify rural & urban internet user secondary school students. Academic achievement had been measured by the academic marks secured by sample subjects in their previous examination conducted by JKBOSE.
