Abstract: All men in the world want to live a peaceful life. Peace as we know is the hue and cry of the modern time. Going through the literature we find that Fear of violence has become one of the greatest concerns for many in the arena of education. Adolescence is the stage of great stress and strain. Conflict with a student or between students can occur anywhere; in the halls, the classroom, or the cafeteria. Unless handled appropriately and effectively, a routine conflict can easily escalate into a serious situation, requiring some form of administrative intervention. As promoted by UNICEF and UNESCO and as established through various studies peace education has been found to be very effective in developing peaceful value system among the school going students. The study here has tried to investigate the effect of certain peace integrated intervention, termed as peace education strategies (PES) towards development of conflict resolution skills among adolescent students. The experimental study has been conducted on 143 students using multiple group time series design. The findings revealed that there is significant effect of Peace intervention (PES) on developing conflict resolutions skills among adolescents.
