“Education is a means to an end”, the statement has taken a backseat in the present context of the techno world. The quest for knowledge and truth should be undertaken for its own sake, is becoming the motto of everybody. Education is not primarily for livelihood, but for life as is stressed by the UNESCO. A balanced development of many dimensions of human personality i.e., physical, intellectual, moral, emotional, aesthetic, spiritual and social is the key to true education. The whole purpose of education is to realize the inner dignity of man which ultimately leads to an integral development of personality. The present research aims to explore the spiritual intelligence of teachers and teacher interns in relation to their socio-economic status. A total of 400 teachers and 400 teacher interns were taken as respondents from 10 Senior Secondary Schools and 5 colleges of education through simple random sampling in the sample frame of the present study. To measure the spiritual intelligence of teachers and teacher interns in relation to their socio-economic status, a survey questionnaire was used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation and one-way ANOVA were employed to analyse and interpret the difference of data. After the analysis of data, it was found that the spiritual intelligence of teachers and teacher interns differs with regard to their socio-economic status.
