Significance of Information and CommunicationTechnology to prepare the teachers for quality teaching
Introduction - “E-learning is the fastest growing and mostpromising technique in the educational industry” reportedby Hall B.(2001). Waller and Wilson (2001) stated that “E-learning Module is the effective, teaching and learningpackage created by combining E-digital content with localcommunity and tutor support along with global communityengagement. E-learning Module is a capsule where thelearner can access through internet and choose the contentfrom the menu according to their interest and learnaccording to their pace. The use of ICTs can makesubstantial change for both teaching and learning and evenhelp a teacher to improve their professional carrier. ICT isan important development technique in the recent era.Objectives Of The Paper -(1) To discuss about the need of quality teacher.(2) To discuss the significant role of ICT in education.(3) To discuss about ICT in teacher educational program.(4) To discuss about the e-learning module.Why we need Quality T eachers? - The development ofsocial, economic and technology of the recent years aremaking the teachers to attain more practical and generalknowledge about those technological developments toreach the global standard of education.

provide forums, publications and free space for ICTcompanies and stakeholders to share and disseminateaccumulated knowledge, information, experiences andproducts and services related to ICTs in education.
l Sust ainability – Maintain a constant pace ofdevelopment to sustain and reproduce knowledge fora continuing effort on ICTs in education to meet newdemands.
ICTs in Teacher Education - In planning the integration ofICTs into teacher education, it is important for teachereducation institutions to understand the knowledge andskills necessary for teachers to effectively use of ICTs intheir teaching and learning process. It is also important thatthey have access to tolls that help them assess their levelof readiness and progress in infusing ICTs into teachereducation programs.Need to technology in teacher education - Specially, thetechnology needs of teacher education programs can besummarized as follows –l Development and implementation of learner centered,
technological applications that will improve studentexperiences in teacher education programs.
l Adequate time for faculty to develop new skills.l Methods to attract high-ability students to teacher
education.l Technology-rich field experiences for students.l Resources for upgrading technology.l Professional development for faculty in learner-
centered models of computer applications andmethods of teaching with technology.
Designing the E-learning Module - This phase consistsof framing the objectives, programme design and theactivities for the interaction of the learner, which wasmeticulously taken care of by the investigator.(a) Framing objectives - Framing objectives for the E-learning modules is an important step. All the objectiveshad to be in behavioral and measurable terms. The moduleframework created must be in congruence with the objectiveof the E-leaning module in general. The components of E-learning module in each module were divided into fourcategoriesl learning objectivesl subject contentsl learning activities..............................bvl assessment(b) Programme Design - Programmed instruction is aninnovative method in individualized instruction. The basicfive principles of programmed learning are small step, activeresponse, immediate reinforcement, self-pacing and selftesting. The researcher selected the non-linear approachor the branched programming. In this type the learners aregiven immediate feedback to their responses when thelearner gives right response, automatically they go for thenext unit according to their interest.
Developing- Based on meticulous planning, E-learningmodule was developed phase wise. The phase are-(a) Flow Charting - The learner who operates the E-learning module through the CD-based lesson becomesbeneficial as they master the content as well as technology.Before starting production, we well-established flow chartis essential. The E-learning module starts with a title screenand then moves to the main menu. The newly developedCD based E learning module starts with the operatingprogram and then by using the mouse, it moves to the menulist and from there learner can choose topics from firstchapter. The learner can learn any related lesson to thefirst chapter.(b) Content Accuracy - Content accuracy is indispensablefor the development of E-learning modules in any subjectscript writing narration, graphics and animation are basedon the content. The content should be very much from thesyllabus. Accuracy has to be established for the newlydeveloped e-learning modules.(c) Scripting - A meaningful lesson was developed withgood scripting. This will be possible by the developer withthe help of experts in the particular subject and softwaretechnical assistance. The content included in the text shouldbe accurately scripted.(d) Story Boarding - A story board is a simply a hand-drawn visualization of every scene that will be shot. Itcombines the information from the script and flowchartsinto a visual hard copy. In the story board it is difficult tomaintain visual and narrative continuity from one scene tothe next. In preparation of the story board can be given tothe technical experts for making the story board flawless.(e) Text - In the newly developed E-learning module thetext is kept concise, informative and interesting so as toconvey meaning and full information to the learner. In someplaces presentation of the text is done through animation.A variety of methods are used to animate the text.(f) Incorporation of colour diagrams - Colourful diagramcan capture the attention of the learner better than blackand white Diagram. So the investigator carefully collectedthe colour diagrams from various sources and everythingwas incorporated into the E-learning modules.(g) Graphics and Animation - Graphics and animationare the highlights of the E-learning module preparation,static objects cannot capture attention and sustain interestalways. But it is possible with graphics and animatedimages. In the present E-learning module developmentmore graphics and animation are used in order to give moreaccurate knowledge and experiences.(h) Audio and V ideo - Among the five senses listeningplays a vital role in the teaching and learning so it wasrealized that each slide with a textual message has to besupplemented with audio features. The audio file is includedin appropriate places, wherever it is necessary video is apowerful communication tool.Implement ation - E-learning module after preparationshould be implemented to a group of students to test its

technological effectiveness. Due weightage should be givento the students responses in an attempt to make the moduleeasily used by the students.Evaluation - The module was checked to ensure therelevance of the material, style, vocabulary and contentinterest, ambiguities, obscurities and other inadequacieswere thoroughly viewed before it was presented to thestudents.Conclusion - When E-learning module preparation is learntby the teachers, teaching and learning become easy forthe coming generation. Hence E-learning is a boon to thesociety which should be utilized to the maximum. Whenonce preparation become known to every one really it willreach the top in teaching and learning process. This theinformation and communication technology has the
significant role to prepare the high quality teachers to reachout the global norm of the educational setting.

Abstract - This paper reviews trends in higher education, characterizing both the traditional learning environments inhigher education as well as a vision for future learning environments with innovative practice in higher education. Theapplication of innovative teaching and learning methods is critical if we are to motivate and engender a spirit oflearning as well as enthusiasm on the part of students.Teaching is not a mechanical process it is an intricate, exactingand a very challenging one. The effectiveness of teacher can be enhanced through good leadership, appropriateteaching methods and also through introducing or promotion of innovative ideas and practice in teacher education.This paper will focus the current state of higher education and the pressures facing colleges. It will also exploreinnovation and some of the challenges to innovation in higher education, as well as some of the successes.Key Words - Innovative teaching and learning, middle-skill jobs,skill development.
Innovative Practices for Higher Education Institutions
Introduction - Innovation can be defined as a “new idea,device or method”. However, innovation is often also viewedas the application of better solutions that meet newrequirements, unarticulated needs, or existing marketneeds. Russell Raath states in his article, When InnovationFails, that “even when organizations are not necessarilydoing anything ground breaking, or new, they still call it‘innovation.’ Just because it just sounds grander.” Hecontinues, “These are not innovations - rather they aresimply improvements.”1 Research and innovations play animportant role in improving the quality of teachers. The roleof education is to ensure that while academic staff do teach,what is taught should also be intelligible to students. Facultyshould thus apply themselves to utilising innovative methodsso that the students’ learning process is as free-flowing aspossible and that the methodology they adopt is conduciveto learning. Innovative teaching and learning methodologiessuch as short lecture, simulation, role-playingand problem-based learning are very useful in addressing the rapidtechnological advances and developing workplaces that willbe required in the future.Changing environment of higher education - Highereducation in India is under attack. In present scenario manylecturers have adopted conventional method of teachingand learning. It is mainly based on the syllabus andprescribed textbooks. In many class rooms, teaching andlearning techniques are outdated and theoretical knowledgeis still disseminated through the technique of talk and chalk.Brain storming is an innovative conference with specialnature in order to produce a list of ideas by students. Itinvolves oral and pre-writing exercise for helping the learner

and for expressing ideas by the teacher. It is a techniquewhich involves discussion method.2
Lecturing is a communication between two or morepersons who influence each other by their ideas. They learnsomething in the process of their interaction with each other.Lecturing is thus a complex, exciting, challenging andinteractive method whose main aim is to create a learningsituation in which knowledge is imparted and in whichunderstanding and skills are developed. Students/Participants are motivated to explore the discipline they haveselected. Sometimes many students fail to complete theirstudies at university but may still benefit from skills that aredeveloped while at an institution, especially the confidencethey obtain from new life experiences (Quinn et al., 2005).3
Middle-Skill Jobs - In present scenario it is becoming morereliant on colleges and universities to prepare students for“middle skill” jobs. It is estimated that nearly half of all jobopenings within the next five years will be “middle skill” jobs.While this may be good news for those colleges focusingon skill development, it may be bad news for the rest of thehigher education industry based on traditional courses.Focusing on developing students for work in “middle skill”jobs means focusing on more practical skills and less ontheoretical knowledge. Again, this has been a large marketfor skill development colleges. However, over the pastdecade, private for-profit colleges have pursued this marketvigorously and grown their enrollments at a much fasterrate than other colleges.Focus on Innovation - Our society are full of smart andcreative people.In colleges and universities, the challengeis to harness that intelligence and creative energy into
Naveen Shodh Sansar (An International Refereed/ Peer Review Research Journal) (U.G .C. Jr. No. 64728)ISSN 2320-8767, E- ISSN 2394-3793, Impact Factor - 5.1 10 (2017) Seminar Edition 2018 14
developing a culture of innovation. It is critical that leadersof colleges and universities foster such a culture ofinnovation on their campuses if their institutions will thrive.Creating a culture of innovation means that leadersencourage the following:a) rewarding innovation, even if it fails;b) training faculty and staff in Design for Innovation
techniques;c) fostering cross-departmental teams to solve problems;d) clearly defining problems that must be addressed;e) understanding your customers (students);f) providing time for unstructured time;g) not imposing too many rules;h) listening with an open mind;i) encouraging prototypes; and,j) using data
These techniques are both simple and complex at thesame time. For some managers it means thinking differentlyand for others it means letting go, which can be difficult.4
Conclusion - Any innovative teaching and learning practiceis not a quick remedy. It cannot replace a traditional teachingmethodology in education but rather supports it. However,it is clear that innovative teaching methodologies will leadto a learning society in which the creative and intellectualabilities of students will allow them to achieve the goals oftransformation and development. Bauer et al (2008) foundthat students enjoyed the real world of work issues andteamwork aspect of PBL. They also and felt welcome inthe classes and stated that their learning was enhanced as
PBL augmented their ability to consider, evaluate, andrespect diverse viewpoints.5 By skill developmentprogramme students are able to become self-motivated anddevelop an ability to think independently, while working withothers in a team. Problem-solving strategies areinterrogated and developed. The use of the short-lecture,seminars, workshops,simulation and roleplaying, and thesubmission of individual student portfolios, undoubtedlysupport traditional methodologies and should also beutilised more.

include: honesty, peace, humility, freedom, cooperation,care, love, unity, respect, tolerance, courage, friendship,patience, quality and thoughtfulness. .Values cannot betaught in isolation but the teacher can provide experiencesand situations in which students can consider and reflectabout values and translate this reflection into action.How to Integrate V alues Through Education - Theprocess of value education gets started from the very firstyear by entering school. Teachers teaches small valuelessons like how to greet teachers, make friends, sharing,how to be in discipline etc. in school children of all religionstudy together irrespective of their caste, background, statuswhich is the first lesson of equality. The uniform in school isitself a medium to maintain discipline and unity amongstudents. There is so much to learn from school apart frombook knowledge.
As children come to higher class the load of studymaterials of different subjects increases. In this case alsothe subject learning teaches them the value lessons.

Aimsand objectives of any society can achieved through theproper educations of its men. For such an educationalsystem, we require efficient teachers. It is well known sayingthat teacher is the national builder. To be able to dischargesuch a high responsibility, it is very necessary that theteacher must become conscious of his role towards society.His behave should indicate his attempt to do his job properly.His personality must reflect characteristics of goodcitizenship, dignity of the individual, rights and duties etc.,so that he may transmit the same to the younger generation.The above said facts express the dire need of teacher-education.
Teacher education refers to the policies and proceduresdesigned to equip prospective teachers with the knowledge,attitude, behaviour and skills they require to perform theirtasks effectively in class rooms, school and outside the fourwalls of the school.Major Issues of T eacher Education - A lot of planningand resources has been spent for improving the quality ofteacher education. New technologies have been introducedin the field of education, still our teacher-education couldnot raise upto the expected level. It is lacking behindsomewhere in realizing its purpose. Its scope hasbroadened and its objectives have become focused duringthe last thirty five years, but teacher education could notrealize its objective fully.

Following Are the Major Issues of T eacher-Education -Science and T echnology - The world has becomeinterdependent and is turning gradually into a global village.But educational programmes for teachers or teacher-education has not made full use of their development skillthe teachers with the knowledge of latest technologicaladvancement are not being produced who are expected touse these upcoming techniques.Developing Creativity - No doubt bloom in his life timerevised the objectives of higher mental order by placingcreativity at the top because development of creativity isvery essential for the all round development of human being.But we have forgotten that knowledge cannot be delivered,it has to be created. It means that we should emphasis oncreativity.Working Of T eacher-Education Institutions - TheNational Council for teacher- education (NCTE) is aregulatory body which controls the functioning of theseinstitutions and prevent them from becoming commercialinstitutions, but because the country is so diverse withinnumerable institutions, it sometimes get difficult to monitorall the institutions. Some unscrupulous institutions havebecome simply money making centre and produce certifiedbut incompetent teachers which is a matter of great concernbecause incompetency of teachers can harm the systemof education.Globalization and Erosion of V alues - Due to globalizationand advancement of science and technology world hasbecome closer. Access to all kind of information is very

easy. The facility of internet has reached every nook andcorner of the country. Every transaction is going to be online.But there are several deviations particularly of youngstudents who are prone to malpractices. It is said that “ourinclination towards bad is more than our inclination towardsgood”. In this sense mobile culture, internet, face book andtwitter etc. have polluted young minds. This led to theerosion of values.Developing Life Skills - Life skills are certain skills whichare essential for personal development and growth.
These skills enable man to deal with the life’s difficultiesand adversities more effectively. These skills are (a)Thinking Skills (b) Self Awareness, Problem Solving,Creative Thinking, Decision making and Critical thinking(b) Social Skills – Interpersonal relations, effectivecommunication and empathy (c) Emotional Skills – StressManagement.
Main issue is that teacher-education is memory basedi.e. there is no active involvement of students, so we arelacking in the development of life skills among the students,which are essential for all round development of students.Realisation of Constitutional Goals - India is a democraticSociety and there are four founding pillars of this democraticsociety as are mentioned in our constitution. These arel Equality of status and opportunity.l Liberty of thought, expression, faith, belief and worship.l Fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and unity
and integrity of the nation andl Justice – Social, Economic and political
These concepts incorporated in the constitutional areessential for national development. One of the major issuesof teacher education is the realization of these constitutionalgoals.Social Issues - There are various social problems issuesthat today our nation is confronting. These are populationexplosion, unemployment, diversity and communal tension.Teacher can safeguard students against these socialproblems of they are sensitive towards these issues.Structure of T eacher-Education Programme - A lot ofstress is given on teacher education course in India,unfortunately still there are several loopholes in the system.Several loopholes are following -Curriculum - Curriculum of teacher education porgrammein India has been criticized much. Some educationists feethat it does not fully address the need of contemporaryIndian Schools and society and it does not contain relevantcontents for teachers who are to impart quality educationin schools.Quality Concern - Quality in education relates to the qualityof the work undertaken by a teacher, which has significantlyeffect upon his or her pupils. Teacher education has notcome up to the requisite standards. Teachers are not ableto think critically and solve the issues related to teachingmethods, content, organisations etc. more knowledge oftheoretical principles is emphasized and teachers are notable to these principles in actual classroom situations.
Time duration - One year duration of teacher educationprogramme has been an issue of much long debate. Theteacher education curriculum which includes theory andpractical and internship in actual schools require much moretime for its effective implementation. National curriculumframe work (1998) also recommends for two year durationof teacher education programme but could notimplemented. So there is a need to extend the timeperiodof present teacher-education programme.Remedies -1. Value education should be given to teachers, so that
they could educate young minds in the right direction.2. Curriculum of teacher education programme should
be revised from time to time according to changingneeds of society.
3. The quality of teacher education programme shouldbe up graded.
4. Teacher education programme should be raised to auniversity level and that the duration and rigour ofprogramme should be appropriately enhanced.
5. Teacher education institutions should be put under strictcontrol of this regulatory body for the selection ofteacher, students and provisions of good infrastructureetc.
6. Institutions working should be examined from time totime and strict action should be taken of they fail tocome up to expected level.
7. Teachers should train about stress managementmechanism so that they could help students inmanaging the stress and sustaining themselves in thistime of social isolation, parental pressure and cut throatcompetition.
8. Teachers should be able to think critically make rightdecisions and maintain harmonious relations withothers.
9. Teacher education programmes should enables theteachers to develop there life skills among students.
10. Techniques used in teaching should develop habit ofself learning and reduce dependence on teachers. Itwill help them to reflect on their own and doingsomething new. Doing something new is creativeness.
11. Teachers should encourage student’s capacity toconstruct knowledge.
12. Constitutional goals of justice, liberty, equality andfraternity can be realized through proper teachereducation.
13. Teachers are to make positive contribution to therealization of the constitutional goals.
14. Teachers must understand the importance of theconstitution in its true prospective in the light of IndianCulture ethos and integrate it with the philosophy ofeducation.
15. Teachers should prepare to own responsibility towardssociety and work to build a better world, commitmentto justice and zeal for social reconstruction.
16. The impact of science and technology and ICT on
Naveen Shodh Sansar (An International Refereed/ Peer Review Research Journal) (U.G .C. Jr. No. 64728)ISSN 2320-8767, E- ISSN 2394-3793, Impact Factor - 5.1 10 (2017) Seminar Edition 2018 19
society and education should be fully discussed inteacher educations institution.
17. Scientific temper should be developed and itsapplication for the solution of problems of life shouldbe encouraged.
18. New knowledge and new experiences should beincorporated in the curriculum and there should be ascope for teachers for reflection of knowledge.
19. Educational institutions should be graded accordingto the standards of the institution and admission shouldbe allowed according to standard of the institutions.
Conclusion - Teacher and his education are very significantaspects of any nation. The education gives a new shape tothe individual and the nation as well. It is a well known sayingthat teacher is the nation builder. The quality of teachereducation programme needs to be up graded. Teachereducation has not come up to the requisite standards.Teachers are not able to think critically and solve the issuerelated to teaching methods, content, organisation etc.teacher education programme needs a comprehensive
reform and restructuring curriculum of teacher-educationprogramme needs to be revised according to changingneeds of society. No doubt a lot of stress is given on teacher-education course in India. Unfortunately still there areseveral loopholes in the system. After the deep study andhealthy discussion with educationist, I came to thisconclusion that Centre and States Governments should jointhe hands to bring the quality and improvement in theteacher education, then bright future of teacher educationis possible. This article would be helpful to State and CentreGovernments policy maker budget allotment and besteducationists to bring reforms in teacher education.

Abstract - Growing complexities of the society and emerging challenges of Education demand a self renewing innovativeTeacher Education. Being innovative is about looking beyond what we currently do, identifying the great ideas oftomorrow and putting them into practice. Time is constantly changing and the only way to keep up with it is to keepgrowing and evolving. Learning never stops all over life, and for teachers to evolve, as a good teacher needs toexplore themselves and try innovative educational measures to impart new knowledge. The national vision missionwill definitely nurture innovations as evident through the emergence of National Curriculum for Teacher Education(NCTE, 2009) and Teacher Education: Reflections towards Policy Formulation. There are proposals for IntegratedInnovative Teacher Education Programs envisages establishing a Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education forResearch, Training & Development, Capacity Building to Exhilarate and Enthuse Educators and Institutions. There isResearch for Holistic Education. Attempts are being made for enhancement of professional competencies of teachersthrough ICT mediated Constructivist Approach. India is committed to compatible education for all, which is beingrealized through the various dedicated programs, essentially innovative in nature.Key Words - Innovative Pedagogy, Capacity Building, Integrated Learning, Holistic Education, Professional Development.
Teacher Education Reforms And Quality Concerns InContemporary Teacher Education
Introduction - The Indian sub-continent has one of thelargest education system as well as teacher educationsystem. There are several affiliated colleges and institutesthat offer teacher education programs. All the programsare identical but its standards vary. Some unscrupulousinstitutes are simply money making centres and results incertified but incompetent teachers. The National Councilfor Teacher Education (NCTE) is a regulatory body butbecause the country is so diverse with innumerableinstitutions it sometimes get difficult to monitor all theinstitutions. NCTE has four different zones of the countryfor regulating the function of these institutes and to preventthem from becoming commercial institutions.Emerging T rends and Reforms - Innovations andinitiatives in teacher education referred will thus beexamined in terms of the extent to which they are beingresponsive to the types of developments and the changedemphasis currently occurring in the schooling systems ofthe Country.Change As An Essential Element - Change can be definedin many ways; encyclopedia presents a number of varyingdefinitions for change. One variation presents the meaningof change as “to become different~ alter, or vary. A newinnovation, idea, strategy, or technique presents theopportunity for change, the opportunity to alter what iscurrently in place. Change is sometimes radical, and,sometimes, it is marginal.
Specific characteristics of an innovation can include

professional training of teachers: the inculcation of a valuesystem appropriate to a career in teaching; the impartingof specific new skills and knowledge; and the retraining ofteachers to enable them to keep pace with new trends ineducation through in-service education.Changing S tatus and Roles of T eachers - There was atime when the teacher’s role was to pass down to theyounger generation the knowledge, experiences andmythology of a slowly evolving society. The pace of changein contemporary society has made this role redundant. Themodern teacher must be, among other things, a change-agent. It does not matter whether one is addressing thesituation in a developing country or an industrialized nation,the problem remains the same. What are the newdimensions of his [or her] role, and how is the teacher to betrained to fulfill that role. In examining the changing role ofthe teacher we need to see the changes as being aresponse to, and an attempt to confront, the pressures of asociety undergoing constant transition.’ (Goble and Porter,1977)Implied in this quotation is the changed role ofeducation—that is, from one of transmitter of culture to oneof transformer of culture.The rise of creativity - Creativity is required to bring newthinking and solutions to the problems facing education andto engage in professional and system learning. Creativityinvolves seeking and discovering new perspectives,.Creativity involves the ability to synthesize, or what AlbertEinstein called “combinatory play,” which is creating newcombinations by drawing on data, perceptions and practice.To engage in such creativity requires self-assurance andthe ability to take risks. It requires a passionate interestand self-confidence. This creative work can be subversive,disrupting existing patterns and thought (a themeexploredby C.M. Christenson11). Creativity is necessary if we areto “see with fresheyes.”Creativity is necessary forinnovation, and innovation, by its nature, is a creativeendeavor. There is a significant difference betweeninnovation and systemic attempts to improve by buildingon good practice. Innovation is a creative response ratherthan an adaptive response.Innovation - A disciplined undert aking - In the same waythat creativity requires discipline; the same is true forinnovation. One of the questions that is being increasinglyconsidered is: How best may innovation improve quality?If organization, management and planning are ofimportance in the day-to-day pursuit of quality and efficiency,they are even more important in the undertaking ofinnovations. There are three critical aspects of theinnovation process. First, the prototype innovation has tobe created - devised from the beginning, adapted fromsomething existing or imported from elsewhere. Second, ithas to be introduced into the system somewhere (usuallyon a small scale). Third, it has to be spread throughout thesystem. It has been established that carefully planneddesign and development is useful for ensuring that prototypeinnovations are viable. It has also been established that
planning is necessary to enable innovations to be judiciouslyintroduced into the system (usually on a small scale and asa trial). The Innovation a liaison for public services thatsupports innovation in schools and children’s services,describes innovation as “the successful exploitation of newideas.”It identifies different types of innovation: thoseinvolving entirely new ideas, others involving the reworkingof old ideas, and those involving the transferring andembedding of existing ideas into new settings. Innovationis disciplined when it is -l Focusing on improving learning opportunities and
outcomes for all students.l Creating new synthesis by generating, exploring and
developing ideas.l Evidence-based, not just data-driven.l Closely monitored.Principles of teacher-lead innovation - The frameworkdescribed earlier is underpinned by a set of principles forengaging teachers in disciplined innovation. Theseprinciples were identified as part of the Churchill FellowshipprojectCharacteristics -l Has a strong moral purpose.l Is focused on students, their needs and aspirations.l Is undertaken on behalf of the profession.l Is oriented toward learning (student, teacher and
system learning).l Needs to be closely monitor and is evidence based,
adopting a development and research approach,ensuring data (in its broader sense) guides decisionmaking and continuous improvement.
Teacher leadership -l Building the capacity of teachers to effectively engage
in improving theirpractice.l Developing sustainable cultures of continuous
improvement.l Valuing philosophical enquiry to inform thinking and
practice.l Increasing school autonomy and teacher authority for
improvementl Reclaiming teacher professionalism within a public

Conclusion - Innovativeness by virtue of its nature isessential feature of Teacher Education. Teacher Educationprepares the teachers to help learners meet the challengesof life, fully &confidently. Research rather than stereotyped,should have problem based agenda.
The researchers should be respected and paiddifferentially, simply because of the extremely added stressdue to unquenched quest for exploration. Innovations breedin a peaceful environment, a unique, dedicated andhumanistic culture.
Growing complexities of the society and emergingchallenges of life demand a self renewing innovativeTeacher Education which is essential for survival. There isnothing to get disheartened. Indian Education is a state offlux. It is highly a state of flux in Indian Education. Thenational vision mission will definitely nurture innovationsas evident through the emergence of National Curriculumfor Teacher Education (NCTE, 2009) and TeacherEducation: Reflections towards Policy Formulation (NCTE,2009). There are proposals for Integrated InnovativeTeacher Education Programs envisages establishing a
Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education for Research,Training & Development, Extension Capacity Building toExhilarate and Enthuse Educators and Institutions. Thereis Research for Wholistic Education. Even the generalstreams of Science and Arts have realized the importanceof Teacher Education. Attempts are being made forenhancement of professional competencies of teachersthrough ICT mediated Constructivist Approach. India iscommitted to compatible education for all, which is beingrealized through the various dedicated programs, essentiallyinnovative in nature.

as a resort of which many reforms were brought outparticularly after independence.1. The University Education Commission (1948)
recommended that theory and practice of pre serviceteacher education must support each other.
2. The secondary education commission (1952-53)recommended the adoption of new techniques ofevaluation and intelligent person should be attractedteaching profession.
3. Education commission (1966) the Professionalpreparation of teachers has been recognised to becrucial for the qualitative improvement of educationsince the 1960’s (Kothari Commission 1964-66).In spite of adopting these recommendations by various

5. Context sensitivity6.New pedagogy of the global world7. No impact on school practice8. Ineffective methods of teaching9. Competencies10. Poor academic background of student-teacherProblems of T eacher Education -
1. Small time period provided for teacher ’s training -In India, this period is of one year after the graduation - theeffective session being of six to seven months. The mainpurpose of teacher education programme is to develophealth attitude, value and broad based interest. It is notpossible during the short duration.2. Selection problem - Better selection method wouldnot only to improve the quality of training with better selectionmethod would not only but also save the social and personaland wastage. Here some suggestions are mentioned -(a)Test of General Knowledge should be applied.(b)Candidate should be interviewed. (c) Test in schoolsubjects. (d) Test of intelligence should be administered(e) Test of language. (f) Aptitude; interest and attitudeinventory should be administered.3. Defect s in concerning p apers - The meaning ofeducation, its objectives, the socio-cultural and politics-economic background, the principles should know by astudent teacher that guide construction of curriculum etc.But a good Orientation is impossible in a short duration.Some steps may be taken in this connection - (i) allowingmore time to learners for sound build-up and good readingof the attitude and intellect, (ii) pruning the existing course(iii) To arrange for exchange of experience than merelyattending lectures, (iv) To change the mode of testing inputs(v) In the daily school teaching the content must have directimplications.4. Incompetency of student s and teachers - Thecurrent training programme does not provide properopportunities to the student teachers to develop competencybecause the organizers of teacher’s training programmeare not aware of the present problems of schools. So thereshould be a close matching between the work schedule ofthe teacher in the programme and school adopted forteacher preparation in a training college.5. Practice teaching neither adequate nor properlyconducted - Inspire of all kinds of elaborate arrangementsregarding practice in teaching, student teachers are notserious to the task of teaching, deficient in sense of dutyindifferent to children, irresponsible, aimless, lackinginnovative measure in teaching which are great obstaclesin the development of pedagogical skills.6. Lack of subject knowledge - The teacher trainingprogramme does not emphasize the knowledge of the basicsubject. The whole teaching practice remains indifferentwith regard to the subject knowledge of the student teacher.7. Faulty teaching method - In India teacher educatorsare averse to experimentation and innovation in the use ofteaching methods. Their acquaintance with modern class-
room communication devices is negligible.8. Isolation of teacher ’s education dep artment - Theteacher education has become isolated from schools andcurrent development in school education has beenobserved by education commission. The schools considerthe teacher education department as an alien institutionand not a nursery for the professional development of schoolteacher. These departments not caring for the sounders ofpedagogy involved in the procedure but only observe theformality of finishing the prescribed number of lesson.9. Supervision problem of teaching - The supervisoryorganizations for practice teaching aims by using varioustechniques and practical skills in teaching at bringingimprovement in the instructional activity of the studentteachers and help them to develop confidence in facingthe classroom situations which is done through followingtypes of supervision.10. Supervision before classroom teaching - It aims atguiding in learning to organize contents, planning theirlessons, developing other related skills and formulatingsuitable gestures. At present the lesson plans are checkedsuperficially and no discussion is made by the subjectmethod specialist.11. Inadequate empirical research - Research ineducation has been considerably neglected. The researchconducted is of low quality. Before undertaking anyresearch, the teacher programmes are not studied properly.12. For professional development lack of facilities -Most of the programmes are being conducted in a routineand unimaginative manner. Even towards development ofa sound professionalization of teacher education in thecountry the association of teacher educators has notcontributed anything.13. Poor academic performance background ofstudent teachers - Mostly candidates do not have therequisite motivation and an academic background for a well-deserved entry in the teaching profession.14. Proper facilities not available - The teachereducation programme is being given a step motherlytreatment in India. The teacher education institutions arebeing run in rented buildings about 20 percent without anyfacility for an experimental school or library or laboratoryand other equipments that is necessary for a good teachereducation department. There are no separate hostelfacilities for student teachers.15. Demand and supply not sufficient - The StateEducation Department have no data on the basis of whichthey may work out the desired intake for their institutions.There is a considerable lag between the demand and supplyof teachers. This has created the problems ofunemployment.16. Some other problems of teacher education -a. Poor standards with respect to resources for colleges
of education.b. Unhealthy financial condition of the colleges of
education

teaching in the teacher education programme.k. Haphazard and improper organization of teacher
education.l. Unplanned and insufficient co-curricular activities.Suggestions to improve the condition of teachereducation - Some suggestions here to improve thecondition of teacher education -1. Internship should be of sufficient time (six months) and
student teachers must be exposed to the fullfunctioning of the school.
2. Evaluation Teacher education, like technical educationand higher education must be the responsibility of thecentral government.
3. Teaching days to be increased up to 240 per year.4. Among teacher education institutions uniformity must

National Policy in Education and Teacher Education
Introduction - Since the country’s independence in 1947,the Indian government sponsored several programs to solveproblems of illiteracy in both rural and urban India. India’sfirst education minister, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad,considered the control of strong central government oneducation throughout the country, which had a similareducational system. In order to develop proposals formodernizing the Indian government education system, theCentral Government established the University EducationCommission (1948-19 49), Secondary EducationCommission (1952-1953) and the Kothari Commission(1964 -66). The resolution on scientific policy was adoptedby the government of India’s first Prime Minister JawaharlalNehru. The Nehru Government sponsored the developmentof high quality scientific education institutions like IndianInstitutes of Technology. In 1961, the Central Governmenthad formed the National Council of Educational Researchand Training (NCERT) as an autonomous organization,which would advise both the Union and the StateGovernments to prepare and implement the educationpolicies. According to National Policy-1968 on Education,the Indian government had prepared some principles topromote the development of education in the country. Theseare the principles:Free and compulsory education - As per Article 45 (IndianConstitution), education should be free and compulsory upto the age of 14 years. Steps should be taken to ensurethat the enrolled child in the school must complete thecourse successfully.Teacher Education - The teacher who determines thequality of education in the country is the most importantperson. They should be respected in the society. Regardingtheir responsibilities and qualifications, their salary andservice standards should be increased. Proper attentionshould be given to teachers’ education. They should also

Women empowerment means creation ofenvironment for women where they can make decisions oftheir own for their personal benefits as well as for the society,women population constituents around almost 50% of theworld population. The concept of women empowerment wasintroduced at the international women conference happenedat Nairobi, Kenya in 1985.The issue of inclusion has to beframed within the context of wider international discussionsaround the united nations organization’s agenda of“education for all (EFA)” stimulated by the 1990’s jomtierdeclaration.

Education plays an important role in womenempowerment which is a powerful tool of change theirposition in the society. India can be a developed nation ifwomen are educated and empowered. ‘‘It is impossible tothink about the welfare of the world unless the condition ofwomen is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on onlyone wing.’’- Swami Vivekananda Status of Women inEducation - There is a considerable gap between maleand female literacy rate in India .India will attain universalliteracy only until 2060.As per the census of 2011, aneffective literacy for men was 82.14% where as for womenit was 65.46%.

Abstract - The children of today are citizens of tomorrow. The Mid Day Meal Programme for the children is a part ofmaking the school attractive so that they view the school as their second home. One of common arguments againstmid-day meals is that they disrupt classroom processes. Teachers have been asked to spend their precious time(Jean Dreze 2003), managing various aspects of mid-day meal instead of teaching. In present study the Mid Day Mealin Gwalior city was studied with the objective to study the opinions of the functionaries of Mid Day Meal in Gwalior . InGwalior from November, 2007, the concept of Public Private Partnership was introduced. The Sadhana Mahila Mandalis the NGO who provides food to the students of government primary schools of Gwalior city. Introduction of public-private partnership has reduced teacher’s work load as well as changed the negative attitude of teachers towardsMDMP. The PPP marks lots of improvements or resolution of the issues related with the Mid-Day Meal programme.The programme has increased enrollment and attendance rate and reduced dropout rate and shown improvement inretention.Key Words - Mid Day Meal, disrupt, functionaries,dropout.
Opinions Of The Functionaries Regarding Mid-Day MealIn The Government Primary Schools Of Gwalior City
Introduction - In 1950 the Indian Constitution provided thatall States should provide free and compulsory education tothe children of every section of the society up to the age of14 years in ten years time. As the literacy then was only 16percent in India, the decision was timely important andaccording to the need of the land. Articles 29 and 30 of theconstitution give fundamental rights to every individual inconnection with education and cultural development. TheIndian Constitution laid the foundation for a federalgovernment in which the functions of the state and centralgovernment are distinctly defined. Despite of legislation andobvious advantages of the elementary education, it has notyet been possible despite nearly 50 years of effort in thisdirection to see it that every citizen gets elementaryeducation.
The National Policy of Education (1986), emphasizedthe importance of UEE. The programme of Action 1986mentioned that a comprehensive system of incentives andsupport services would be arranged for girls, SC, ST andchildren of weaker sections of society.
The MDM assures that children get one complete mealin school and that can devote their time to study ratherthan work. The provision of cooked mid-day meals inprimary schools is an important step towards the right tofood. Indeed mid-day meals help to protect children fromhunger (including “Classroom Hunger”, an old enemy ofschool education), and if the meals are nutritious, they canfacilitate the healthy growth of children.Madhya Pradesh become one of the first states to initiate

the mid day meal in 1995. But after a pilot beginning in afew blocks, the program was discontinued in 1997 in non-tribal blocks. Even the programme in tribal blocksfloundered and remained largely on paper till 2002. In mostschools raw grains were provided in this period. In 2006,as a follow up of Supreme Court of India, MHRD,Department of School Education and Literacy, Governmentof India issued an order revised the norms of MDM.According to the revised norm schools should provide MDMwith minimum 400 calories and 12 grams protein.Research Scenario- The studies reviewed indicated thatthe scheme of MDMP had positive impact on enrolment,attendance and retention rate. CARE (1977), NIEPA (1979),Rajan and Jaikumar (1992), Pratichi (2004), Angom (2008)has found that the MDMP has increased the attendancerate. Further Rajan N Jai Kumar (1992), NCERT (1997),Blue (2005) revealed that the retention rate has increasedbecause of the MDMP. It has also been observed that thefund required to purchase the ingredients required for theMDMP ; for providing salaries to cooks, helpers etc. werenot provided in time which caused problems in regularimplementation of MDMP. Jain&Shah (2005), Gangadharan(2006) found that the government grants was far less thanthe total expenditure in many schools. CUTs (2007) foundthat most schools lacked adequate cooking and storagefacilities, use of wood and kanda produced huge quality ofsmoke and ash.Rational Of The S tudy - The objective of Mid Day MealProgramme was to give boost to universalization of primary

education and impact the nutrition of students in primaryclasses.
Observations obtained through review of the studies,news paper and researcher’s personal experience of thegovernment primary schools raised several questions inresearcher’s mind viz.l Does the MDMP really help in increasing the
attendance and enrolment?l Does the food provided in MDM really helps in reducing
the problem of malnourishment?l Whether teachers are right persons to be made
accountable for MDM delivery at the end point?l Is making them responsible for MDM, affecting the
overall schooling?In order to find out the answers to above mentioned
questions, this study was conducted. Objective Of The S tudy - To study the opinion of thefunctionaries regarding Mid-Day Meal in the governmentprimary schools of Gwalior city. Plan & Procedure - The Gwalior district is comprised offive blocks viz. Dabra, Bhitarwar, Gatigaon, Morar (R), andMorar (U). Morar (U) is the Gwalior city. Population for thisstudy i.e. government primary schools, are. 309 schools.Out of these schools 10% of them were selected randomlyfor the present study.

Effective Teaching Methods in Higher Education -Requirements and Barriers
Introduction - Teaching is one of the main components ineducational planning which is a key factor in conductingeducational plans. Despite the importance of good teaching,the outcomes are far from ideal. The present qualitativestudy aimed to investigate effective teaching in highereducation Rapid changes of modern world have causedthe Higher Education System to face a great variety ofchallenges. Therefore, training more eager, thoughtfulindividuals in interdisciplinary fields is required1. Thus, research and exploration to figure out useful and
effective teaching and learning methods are one of themost important necessities of educational systems

It is a uniquespace, which covers the entire universe of knowledge.It is a place where creative minds converge, interactwith each other and construct visions of new realities.Established notions of truth are challenged in thepursuit of knowledge. To be able to do all this, gettinghelp from experienced teachers can be very useful andeffective.
New Effective T eaching Methods -l Having a course plan, using appropriateeducational strategies - According to Choi and Pucker,the most important role of teachers is planning andcontrolling the educational process for students to be ableto achieve a comprehensive learning. “The fact that manyteachers don’t have a predetermined plan on how to teach,and just collect what they should teach in a meeting is onereason for the lack of creativity in teaching” Klug andcolleagues in an article entitled “teaching and learning ineducation” raise some questions and want the facultymembers to ask themselves these questions regularly.1.

l Metacognition training and self-assessment of studentsduring teaching.l Using conceptual map and pre-organizing plan intraining - Improving the quality of learning through thepromotion of education, using pre-organizers andconceptual map, emphasizing the student-centered learningand developing the skills needed for employment are thestrategies outlined in lifelong learning, particularly in highereducation..l Encouraging creativity during teaching the lessonsThe belief that creative talent is universal and it will bestrengthened with appropriate programs is a piece ofevidence to prove that innovative features of the programsshould be attended to continually.

results of the process of teaching-learning cannot onlyfacilitate management in terms of studying the records, butalso provides easier access to up to date information.Requirement s related to faculty outlook in an effectiveteaching -l Alignment with organizational strategies - Coordi-
nation with the overall organizational strategies will al-low the educational system to move toward specialopportunities for innovation based on the guidelines
l Interested in student s and trust in their ability -When a person begins to learn, according to the valueof hope theory, he must feel this is an important learn-ing and believe that he will succeed. Since the feelingof being successful will encourage individuals to learn,you should know that teachers have an important rolein this sense
l Systemic approach in higher education - Mastersshould be aware of the fact that these students are thefuture of the country and in addition to knowledge, theyshould provide them with the right attitude and vision
l Being interested in the scientific field of study - Ifthe a teacher is interested in his field, he/she devotesmore time to study the scriptures of his field and regu-larly updates his information; this awareness in histeaching and its influence on students is also very ef-fective
Barriers -l The requirement s defined curriculum and re-
sources in the teaching, the large number of stu-dent s in classes, and High volume theoretical prin-ciples - The need for student-centered teaching isobvious but for some reasons, such as the require-ment in the teaching curriculum and the large volumeof materials and resources, using these methods isnot feasible completely
l Do not t ake a problem-based learning and student-centered learning in their evaluation as a bonusfor teachers - If at least in the form of teacher evalu-ation, some questions were allocated to the use ofproject-based and problem-based approaches, teach-ers would try to use them further
l Do not use educational assist ants - I think one ofthe ways that can make student-centered education pos-sible is employing educational assistants.l Lack of interest and motivation among student s -If each professor could attend crowded classes with two orthree assistants, they could divide the class into somegroups and assign more practical teamwork while they werecarefully supervised.Conclusion - In the present study, it was illustrated that agood teaching method helps the students to question theirpreconceptions, and motivates them to learn, by puttingthem in a situation in which they come to see themselvesas the authors of answers and the agents of responsibilityfor change. But whenever the teachers can teach by thismethod, they are faced with some barriers and
requirements. Some of these requirements are prerequisiteof the professors’ behavior and some of these areprerequisite of the professors’ outlook. Also, there are somemajor barriers some of which are associated with theprofessors’ behavior and others are related to laws andregulations. Therefore, to have an effective teaching, thefaculty members of universities should be aware of thesebarriers and requirements as a way to improve the teachingquality.
Effective teaching also requires structural changes thatcan only be brought about by academic leaders. Thesechanges include hiring practices reward structures thatrecognize the importance of teaching expertise, qualityassurance approaches that measure learning processes,outcomes in a much more sophisticated way than routinemethods, and changing the way of attaining universityaccreditation.
The nationally and locally recognized professors aregood leaders in providing ideas, insight, and the beststrategies to educators who are passionate for effectiveteaching in the higher education. Finally, it is supposed thatthere is an important role for nationally and locallyrecognized professors in higher education to become moreinvolved in the regulation of teaching rules. This will helpother university teachers to be familiar with effectiveteaching and learning procedures. Therefore, curriculumplanners and faculty members can improve their teachingmethods.

Abstract - The national policy planners have considered secondary and higher secondary stage of school educationas crucial since it is at this stage that necessary skills and competencies are acquired which enable the students toenter the world of work or to go for higher education. Vocational education has been accorded high priority in theNational Policy on Education, 1986. The NPE, 1986 inter alia states “The introduction of systematic, well-planned andrigorously implemented programme of vocational education is crucial in the proposed educational re-organization”.Key Words - Vocational Education, National Policy on Education, Globalization, Privatization.
A Study Of The Vocational Education Of Girl StudentsIn Gwalior District
Introduction - In the last decade of the 20th Century, acommon man was introduced to the words of globalization,privatization and liberalization and thus free trading hastaken place. This has resulted in different businesses bychanging, forming the industrial structure and employmentpatterns. A few businesses have lost their importance whilea few have restructured. It resulted in the need for skilledmanpower and trained personnel.
Since 1988, the government has adopted a neweducation policy for 10 + 2 level where the vocationaleducation for students took place. The main reason behindthe course was to develop skilled manpower throughdiversified courses to meet the requirements of mainly theunorganized sector and to prepare people for the world ofwork in general through a large number of self employmentoriented courses.
Through diversification into production and serviceoriented courses, it is desired to reduce aimless pursuitand expense on higher education. Keeping these things inmind, the government introduced this educational pattern,and accordingly sent instructions to all states thateducational institutions should have to start a minimum ofthree vocational courses at + 2 level considering the needsof surrounding areas.
The pattern set up by the government of MadhyaPradesh for vocational education was having a base ofhigher education out of which only a few subjects wereintroduced in this stream. This means even if the studentswish to enter in the world of business after completing highersecondary vocational education he/she can easily do so.Also after a long gap in education, if a student wishes toreturn and pursue his/her studies, he/she is able to do soby taking admission for higher studies. The + 2 pattern ismade in such a way that the entire pattern is based onapplications by the way of practical, skills and

demonstrations, which is also followed by on the job trainingprogram at the actual work site which is mostly resultoriented. This makes the vocational students confident andalso qualified which enables and motivates them to applyfor the required positions for jobs in the market. During1988 to 2017 there have been vast changes in socialstructures, functional needs and expectations. Hence thequestions arise like,l Has our educational system incorporated these
changes?l Are the teachers trained to teach new teaching
methods?l Is the syllabus equipped for these changes?l Do the students get the service related to their
education?l Are they able to handle a related vocation on their own?l How many students could get related higher education?l What should be the role of the parents?l Do the parents’ economic, social and educationalbackgrounds affect the students’ education?
To find out the answers to these queries, presentresearch has been carried out with the followingobjectives .Objectives of the Research –l To understand the nature of vocational education.l To know the effectiveness of vocational education from
the point of view of girl students (self employment, selfesteem, personality development).
l To realize the difficulties, advantages anddisadvantages of medium of instruction (English/Hindi)in vocational education.
l To understand the legislative difficulties in vocationaleducation.
l To suggest reformative measures for betterimplementation of the programme in the

State of Madhya Pradesh.l To study the present status of girl students who have
passed out with vocational Educationat+2 levelbefore2018.
l To analyse the view points on various aspects ofimplementation of vocational education programmefrom the Principals of schools offering vocationalcourses, members of linkage committee, teachers,girl students in vocational education (passed out before2018) and their parents.
l To find out the strengths and weaknesses inManagement of Vocational Education Programme.
l To ascertain the employment status of passed out girlstudents in vocational education.
Hypotheses -1. Vocational education becomes helpful for the
development of personality.2. Vocational education is becoming an alternative to
higher education.3. The success of vocational education depends on its
legislative formulation.4. The Vocational education programme is showing
positive results in case of girl Students.Sample - The sample size consists of 300 respondents,out of which 120 are girl students, 100 parents, 50 teachers,10 principals and 20 members of the linkage committee.Delimit ations – The study was delimited to Gwalior City
only.Tools Used - The following tools were used for collection
of data:i. Personal discussion with state officials, principals,
vocational teachers, passed out girl students,parents& few of the Linkage Committee Members.
ii. Interview-Schedule - Five different interview scheduleswere prepared and used for collecting the data fromPrincipal, vocational teacher, vocational passed outstudents & their parents and members of the LinkageCommittee.
Statistical T echniques Used - The measurement scalesratio , percentage and average were used in presentresearch.Verification of Hypotheses - The present research hasbeen carried out with specific objectives and pre-formulatedhypotheses. Here efforts have been taken to verify theauthenticity of the hypotheses in a logical manner.1. Vocational education becomes help ful for thedevelopment of personality - It is said that vocationaleducation at +2 level develops personality and a sense ofself esteem in women. Findings of the present researchshow that approximately 113(94.17%) respondents feel thatself-confidence and self-reliance have been increased andthat vocational education has motivated them for personalitydevelopment.These 94.17% respondents were askedfurther to specify in which form they were motivated.(Multiple choices were given.)104 (92.04%) Obtaining selfconfi 80 (70.80%) Can decide about the future. 71 (62.83%)
Can purchase on her own. 71 (62.83%) Can express anopinion in family matters. 68 (60.18%) Can perform bankingfunctions. 62 (54.87%) Can vote freely in elections as perself decision. 31 (27.43%) Can decide life partner on one’sown.2. Vocational education is becoming an alternativeto higher education - Findings show that only 2.5%respondents have a self vocation where as 71.67%respondents are enjoying further education. Therefore it isa sorry state that though the policy makers have assumedthat vocational education will minimize the flow of thestudents towards degree level education, the above statistichighlights it in a different way.3. The success of vocational education depends onits legislative formulation - VET was viewed as thesolution to the educational problems in the developingeconomies. In order to train enough technical manpowerto meet the rapidly increasing industrial demands,governments in many countries such as the Republic ofKorea, China, Germany enacted different types of laws andbecause of the legal framework these countries haveexpanded their vocational educational system quickly andconsiderably.
In India there is hardly any legal framework forvocational education policies. The Indian Constitution doesnot provide specific thoughts or directives on vocationaleducation. There are no national laws to regulate the effortsin this area. The states have also not resorted to legislationon vocational education. Indian education in general is nonlegislative in nature.
As a mechanism prevailing for over a hundred years,the concepts and committees were appointed from time totime. These were not statutory bodies in the sense thattheir recommendations were not binding on the union orstate governments. They were accepted partly or whollydepending on the desire of the government in power. Scantyfinancial resources often proved to be the major constraintin implementation of many recommendations repeatingdecade after decade without being implemented orquestioned.
The same things reflect in the findings of my researchand all respondents agree that there should be Legislature– thus making it mandatory to give preference to vocationaleducation and its implementation.It is the need of the hourto accord top priority to the overhaul of labour laws in thecountry. Of course only making laws is of no use; theirimplementation should also be done thoroughly.4. The vocational education programme is showingpositive result s in case of girl student s - To remove theobstacles inhibiting women’s development, major emphasishas been laid on women’s participation in vocational,technical and professional education at different levels.
After considering the findings of the present research,it can be concluded regarding vocational education at 10+2level of girl students that ¯
There are some main groups in vocational education.

If we observe the percentage of girl students in each groupit is as follow ¯1. Business & Commerce : 43.19 %2. Health & Para Medical : 37.24 %3. Catering & Food Technology : 14.63 %4. Engineering & Technical : 03.04 % False ideas
regarding gender capacity may be prohibiting girls fromtaking admission in other courses.
Conclusion - The basic expectation of education is todevelop the personality of individuals in all fields so that inturn it contributes to growth and development of society.For this, the education system should be well planned andits objectives, structure and functions should be very clear.To get a good education and a good earnings are the twoimportant needs of democracy. Hence the Government ofIndia has introduced a 5 year plan and various educationcommissions. From 1988, in higher secondary education(+2 level) vocational education has been introduced andimplemented to promote self employment. The studentswho are not pursuing higher education or have lessavailability can be given vocational education to make them
self employed. This will in turn contribute to the nation’sprogress by providing skilled manpower to meet therequirement of the unorganized sector.

Ethics and Values in Indian Education
Introduction - The family system in India has a longtradition of imparting values Education. Innate values areour inborn divine virtues such as love, peace, happiness,mercy and compassion as well as the positive moralqualities such as respect, humility tolerance, responsibility,co-operation, honesty and simplicity.
Ethics has been one of the central concern of bothphilosophy and Religion two areas of human endeavorsthat are increasingly displaced by the preoccupation withseemingly more practical aspects of existence.
Nonetheless, the need for ethics at all levels is generallyrecognized and it as is still presents in the educationalcontext, both as a general aim as well as an academicsubject. The latter is often presented in the form of a choicebetween the study of religion, usually the prevalent one inthe given country and ethics which is taken as itscounterpart.Ethics in Indian Education System - Ethics is the IndianEducation System and Ethical comportment is a functionmoral comportment is a function of moral development,protocols, and ethics drill, which have several challengesin ethical philosophy that should be communicated Ethicsrefers to personal or cultural values codes of conduct orsocial values Ethics may also be differentiate in what iswrong what is right.Values in Indian Education - The traditional culture greatlyinfluences the formulation of the goals of the educationalsystem of the country provided that system is of the people,formulated by the people and for the people of that country.Kulckohns the eminent American Social antsopologist, hasrightly pointed out, that the value orientation of a people isconstituted of the views of the members of a society towardsfive things the nature of human nature.

of the members of a society towards five things the natureof human nature, their orientation to activity, and relationshipto others.
It must be resolved, first of all, whether the given nationwants that its cultural and social values should be kept theemerging demands of the changing times. It is insists thatits traditional values are sacrosanct or inviolable, then itwill try its level best to see that the chief goal of itseducational system remains merely to socialize the youngergeneration, so that they also may in herit that legacy andconfirm their own behavior to it.
On the other hand, if it wants to modernize, it will notinsist as such and will very much like its traditional valuesto be rationally, evaluated dysfunctional ones rejected whilethe functional ones re emphasized and the best values ofthe other cultures readily accepted. Such an improvedperspective will ensure the proper development of thatsociety in the sense that new systems of thought and actionwill be created and the goals and process of social progresswill be redefined or restructmed to meet interest of thenation.
There is very significant tendency visible in many adeveloping country like India that its intellectuals, politicalleaders and bureaucrats who have been privileged toreceive modern education, usually think that their traditionalculture is nemeses dysfunctional or unhelpful to theindividual as well as the nation in their progress on the roadto modernity and so it should be neglected. They are thefirm votaries of importing and transplanting foreign ideas,norms, goals, systems, techniques or processes and evenactors or agents of change in order to achieve the type ofmaterial success which the advanced nations like the USAand England have been able to achieve.

A Change in Educational Policies Since 1968 ToPresent Scenerio
Introduction - Education has continued to evolve, diversifyand extend its reach and coverage since the dawn of humanhistory. Every country develops its system of education toexpress and promote its unique socio-cultural identity andalso to meet the challenges of the times.
The most important and urgent reform needed ineducation is to transform it, to endeavour to relate it to thelife, needs and aspirations of the people and thereby makeit the powerful instrument of social, economic and culturaltransformation necessary for the realization of the nationalgoals. For this purpose, education should be developed soas to increase productivity, achieve social and nationalintegration, accelerate the process of modernization andcultivate social, moral and spiritual values.
The concern for the improvement of education hadbeen at the top of India’s development agenda sinceindependence. Several commissions were appointed by thegovernment of India from time to time to formulate policiesand programmes required to enhance access to andparticipation in education and improve quality of education.Prominent among them include: the University EducationCommission (1948-49), the Secondary EducationCommission (1952-53), the Education Commission (1964-66), and the National Commission on Teachers - I & II (1983-85). So far, two National Education Policies have been inforce in India. Third one is the recent draft.National Education Policy 1968 - First such policyhad come in 1968 under Indira Gandhi government. Priorto this policy, a resolution in Lok Sabha was moved in 1964by Congress MP Siddheshwar Prasad, who criticized thegovernment for not paying enough attention to educationand centre lacked a uniform vision and definite philosophyfor education. The government of the day agreed that thereshould be a national and coordinated policy towardseducation. The government then set up a 17 member

Education Commission under UGC chairperson DSKothari Kothari Commission . On the basis ofrecommendations of Kothari Commission, the FirstNational Education Policy was released in 1968 . Thispolicy had called for a National School System , whichmeant that all students, irrespective of caste, creed andsex would have access to education of a comparable qualityup to a given level. Further, it envisaged a commoneducational structure 10+2+3 which was acceptedacross the country and most of us have studied under thatsystem. It also advocated use of mother tongue as mediumof teaching in early school years. Another major call wasstrengthening the research in the universities.National Education Policy 1986 (As modified in the year1992) - The 1986 policy was issued during tenure of RajivGandhi as Prime Minister and it was updated in 1992when PV Narsimha Rao was prime minister. This policyfocussed on modernization and role of IT in education.More attention was paid on restructuring the teachereducation, early childhood care, women’s empowermentand adult literacy. It also accepted autonomy of universitiesand colleges, something which was resisted in past.New Education Policy 2016 - The National Policy onEducation was framed in 1986 and modified in 1992. Sincethen several changes have taken place that calls for arevision of the Policy. The Government of India would liketo bring out a National Education Policy to meet thechanging dynamics of the population’s requirement withregards to quality education, innovation and research,aiming to make India a knowledge superpower by equippingits students with the necessary skills and knowledge andto eliminate the shortage of manpower in science,technology, academics and industry.

From necessities hemoved to comforts and from comforts and from comforts to luxuries in forgetting the supreme source of comfort andbliss. The man , therefore, becomes the victim of tremendous stress and strain that , in fact, leads towards intensivehealth complications.Key Words - Education, Policies, System, Framwork, implementation.
Yoga and Value Education in modern era
Introduction - Yoga is an integral part of Indian civilization.The living tradition of Yoga as an individual path to andpeople’s experience of the transcendent has been handeddown from generation to generation till the present day. Asfar as individuals are concerned, this handing down hasbeen happening through the personal relationship betweenteachers and their pupils. On the national level the traditionhas been kept alive by the deep regard for and venerationof yogis and of spiritual truth- seekers. Besides, the oldclassical texts of Yoga have continued to be studied andcommented on extensively, and new treatises on Yoga havebeen has been compiled time to time.Value - Values are the concepts that describe humanbehavior. They are desirable ideals and goals, which areintrinsic and when achieved, in fact, evoke a deep senseof the fulfillments. The term values stands for intrinsic“worth” . values are attributes that spring from the sublimityof soul.
They like truth , reflection of reality , they are like beautyperfections in themselves, they are attitude that confer onman humanism and peace. Values in short, shape the moralpersonality of an individual. They enhance that finer side ofone’s potential. They foster peace, order, dignity, grace anddelight. value literally means quality of being useful,desirable , something that has price, and are set of principlesor standard of behavior one is ready to suffer are sacrificefor, Broadly values may be classified into two types.l Eternal, Absolute or Root Values, Intrinsic Values, In-trinsic Valueslllll Temporal ore mundane V alues - Moral or spiritualvalues are root values, which take us out ourselves andinspire us to be good and to do good to others, The ‘mun-dane’ values include contextual values viz. , social cultural,and economic values etc.
Value are the seeps which are sown in thesubconscious mind to help human beings to sustain thesocial ethics and be civilized. Yoga helps in bringing it to

the forefront for which conscious and continuous effortshave to be made both by the nurturer as well as nurtured.Most importantly, we should make them realize that valuesare to only beneficial to the society but are far more valuableto the practicing individual. Their beneficial impact on thesociety is merely a positive by-product of the individualaction. It is important to remember that the seeds calledgood value can only be produced by the trees with ‘goodvalues’ as a part of their DNA ,These trees are us –adults.We need to be good role models, ourselves, Every actionwe do the accompanying attitude and motive behind it, isreflected to the child as they are receptive and very sensitive.The Indian culture is deeply rooted in spiritual and ethicalvalues, unless these values find their way into the life ofstudents, education will lose its significance and will notfulfill its aim. Though we have made progress in knowledgebut still we are not above the levels of our past generationsin ethical and spiritual life. In some, we have declined fromtheir standards. Today we have been successful in makingprofessionals but not the human beings.Need of Value Education in Modern Era - These days, in21st Century, technological evolution contributes toglobalization of knowledge- based education, which haschanged human lifestyle. Such continuous changingcondition in daily life situations jeopardizes our innerhomeostasis and results into tremendous stress-related-immuno-deficient disorders, where values are left farbehind. In fact there is gross erosion of values of individualto keep pace with the society in order to fulfill one’s desireto be at the top . The parents, elders, authority and hardwork is leading to the decay of moral and social fabric ofsociety at a speed never witnessed in the history ofcivilization. Our stress is too much on standards of livingand not on standards of life. Though the problem ofdecreasing values extends to the whole range of humanactivities, education field is regarded as the proper placeto inculcate positive value.

The Role of ethical values and morality in the integrationof any society or nation is indispensable and doubtless.We have to spread the message of ethical principals amongour young generation because they will be the responsiblecitizens of the nation in futures. The role of ethical valuesin personality development is elucidated in “The story ofmy experiments with Truth” ,the autobiography of MahatmaGandhi.
The main aim of values education is to reform attitudeand behavior, to promote healthy lifestyle, to shape the highmoral character and to develop refined personality ofyounger generation, who can prove them as the best citizenof a nation.Yoga Lays the Foundation of V alue Oriented Life - Yogapractices bring about a balance in the functioning of vitalsystem, endocrine secretions and the activities of centralas well as sympathetic nervous system, Moreover theprimary purpose of Yoga practices is to reduce thepossibilities of emotional excitations by instigating hypo-metabolic state in the human system, because emotionalexcitation, increased sympathetic activity and hypermetabolic state are concomitants, Emotionality and Yogaare the two ends of the continuum of affective aspect ofhuman psyche. Emotionality denotes Yoga- Less-less andYoga denotes emotionless-ness (Bh. ita/2/56-64) .More isthe grade of emotionality lesser is the Yogic state and viceversa.
Emotion is a Rajas guna of Prakriti ,which isresponsible for many types of disease. Psychophy-siologically , emotions act upon our body throughhypothalamus, which controls ANS (Autonomic NervousSystem) and the endocrine systems. Negative emotionslike anger, fear, greed jealousy give rise to somatic illnesswhere on the other hand positive emotions like love,compassion, friendship, affection etc. give the strength tocombat the stress. Illness due to negative emotions includeshyper acidity, hypertension, insomnia, menstrualdisturbances, loss of appetite etc. Moreover the primarypurpose of Yoga practices is to reduce he possibilities ofemotional excitations by instigating hypo-metabolic statein the human system. Because emotional excitation,increased sympathetic activity and hyper metabolic stateare concomitants, Emotionality and Yoga are the two endsof the continuum o affective aspect of human a psyche.Emotionality lesser is the Yogic state and vice versa.Asht anga-Marga - There are various PATHS OF Yoga,Hatha-Yoga, Jnana-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Kundalini-Yoga,Mantra-Yoga , finally the Raja-Yoga. Raja-Yoga, the royal -path is very scientific and thorough. By following this pathmethodically, we learn to refine our desires, emotions andthoughts, as well as subtle impressions and thought thatlie dormant in the unconscious mind. Raja-Yoga help us toexperience the inner reality by using an eight-runged ladder.The ultimate goal is for the aspirant to attain the right rung,Samadhi. Raja-Yoga encompasses the teachings from allthe different paths. It is a scientific discipline that does not
impose unquestioning faith, but encourages healthyexamination. It is also called as the Eight-fold path(ashtanga-marga).
There for in the eight Limbic Yoga system of Patanjali,the ethical standards has been given the first place andform two initial constituents of Yoga, termed as Yama andNiyuama by him. By adherence of Yam and Niyama, whichare really the essential ethical prescriptions of Ygoa, onespersonality becomes receptacle for retaining theattainments of Yoga i.e. vigor, wisdom and beatitude. Justas without filing the pours of any vessel, nothing may beretained for longer time in the vessel , so too withoutacquitting certain deficient aspects of personality, one cannot be able to retain the bliss and power gained throughYoga within his system. In the path of Yoga one shouldalways be careful to conserve his power and energy to utilizeit for further higher Yogic development. Yama may also beseen as the modification-system of interaction andinterrelation between the ‘Self’ and the ‘Non-self’ i.e.individual and environment. Recently the concept of mentalhealth is also being defined as a “state of balance betweenthe individual and the surrounding world, as state ofharmony between oneself and the others, coexistencebetween the realities of the self and other realties like otherpeople, living beings and environment, From this point ofview Yama represents the higher state of mental health.Niyama may be defined as the modification of interactionbetween the ‘Real Self” and the other five component ofhuman psycho-bio-system i.e. body, bio energy (Prana),mind intellect and ego In avery spiritual sense, these fivecomponents of human system are considered as ‘Non-self’ (Tripati and singh 1984) .By tuning the internalenvironment i.e. mind and vital system as well as endocrineand metabolic functions, the aspirant’s personality is madefit for attaining the paramount state of Yoga.
Thus self control is the foundation of yoga system. Selfcontrol is also the key for attaining the eligibility thedeservingness for virtuous life. Without sincere approachfor self control, talking about morality and value leads toslow moral degradation and loss of noble values in life hasbeen observed after a marked period in most cases.Conclusion - In toady’s world technological excellencehas lead human race to grater heights. The meaning ofnecessities has changed drastically and is more inclinedto words luxury , wars, devastation, bloodshed , inequalityand many other social evil .
Yoga has been playing a significant role in India sinceages and has great Importance .The theories and rulesgiven by great yogis have always influenced people in a lotpositive way. And their discoveries and believes are stillprevailing into the society.
Values describe human behavior. it define one’spersonality , behavior and attitude and guides our actionsin different phases of our lives. India’s culture is deeplyinfluenced by social , spiritual and ethical values and thispromotes us to be good and act good with other. Values in

Abstract - Micro teaching is an excellent way to build up skills and experience. The purpose of choosing “MicroTeaching-It’s Principles, Advantages & Disadvantages” as the topic is because with the globalization on every aspectof the world, there is certainly need of various schools. Efficient and effective teaching is one of the major factorsparents look at before enrolling their children into a school. Thus implementing a micro teaching program for newteachers as well as in service teachers are an ideal way to set foot into the world.
Introduction - The art of teaching is a complex process,which is not limited to transferring of knowledge from oneto another. It requires good verbal and non-verbal skills. Itincludes various techniques in order to transfer knowledgeeffectively. Not everyone can master it. With the vast growthin all sectors, effective teaching skills are in great demand.Therefore, due to this demand, the concept of microteaching came into action. It is a new innovative programfor teachers, which enhances their classroom attitude andbehaviour . Many pre-primary education institutes havetaken up micro teaching practices in order to equip teacherswith effective method of teaching.Meaning of micro teaching:-
“Micro-teaching is a teacher training and facultydevelopment technique whereby the teacher reviews arecording of a teaching session, in order to get constructivefeedback from peers and/or students about what hasworked and what improvements can be made totheir teaching technique.” – Wikipedia“Micro teaching is a scaled down teaching encounter inclass size and time.” – D.W. Allen
Thus, Micro teaching is a procedure in which a studentteacher practices teaching with a reduce number of pupilsin reduced period of time with emphasis on a narrow andspecific teaching skill. Micro teaching is so called since it isanalogous to putting the teacher under a microscope so tosay while he is teaching so that all faults in teachingmethodology are brought into perspective for the observersto give a constructive feedback.Underlying Principles of Micro teaching - Micro teachingrevolves around certain principles to improve its reach inall round development of the teachers.1. One skill at one time - In skills in microteaching aretargeted one at a time. Training on particular skills are givenuntil it is mastered. Once mastered another skill is targetednext. Thus, micro teaching aims for one skill at a time2. Small scale content - Limiting the content gives more

freedom and ease to the trainees. Thus, micro teaching isbased upon the principle of limited content. Teachers areto prepare their lessons within the given content thereforeit becomes easier for them to conduct their lessons.3. Practice makes a man perfect - Mastering skillsrequire practice. While focusing on one skill at a time, microteaching program also gives an opportunity to practice thoseskills. Lots of practice can boost the self-confidence andpromote in development of teaching skills.4. Experiment s - Experiments are the key factors in anyconcept. In micro teaching, many experiments areconducted in order to test the skills of the teachers. Forexample, the supervisors conduct experiments where thelength of the lessons, time duration, strength of students inthe class etc is changed. These skills are tested undercontrolled condition.5. Inst antaneous feedbacks - Micro teaching consistsof teacher-pupil and supervisor as students. Once a sessionends, teacher-pupil and supervisors come up with theirfeedback. This feedback is given instantly after the lessonplan ends. Thus, it helps in rectifying the drawbacks.6. Self-evaluation opportunities - Evaluation plays animportant role in any task. In micro teaching, supervisorsconduct various test and thus there are several chances toanalyze mistakes. Evaluation gives an opportunityto understand the mistake and overcome it. This programincludes a session where drawbacks are pointed out alongwith their solution. Thus, overall improvement becomes aneasier target.7. Continuous effort s - Acquiring and mastering skillsis a slow and ongoing process. Even after mastering aprevious skill, one should continually strive for betterment.Continuous efforts makes it easier to attain overalldevelopment.Procedure of Micro teaching - 1. Skill definition -The pupilteacher or the supervisor defines a certain skill. The skillsof micro teaching are defined regarding the teaching

behaviours in order to procure knowledge of required skills,which they have to focus on.2. Demonstration - Demonstration is the second stepin the process. Experts demonstrate the specific skill bythemselves or with the help of audio/video tape recordingsto the teacher trainee. This gives an idea to the teachers towork accordingly.3. Lesson planning - This step is the first action by thestudent teacher. The trainee teacher plans a short lessonthrough which he/she could practice the skill. Thismicroteaching lesson plan is done with the help of hissupervisor.4. Conducting lesson - Once the planning is done,according to the targeted skill the pupil-teacher teachesthe planned lesson to the group of students. These lessonsare observed by supervisor and pupil teachers. Further,they are video-taped, audio-taped, or televised through aCCTV camera. These tapes are later used for self-evaluation as well.5. Discussion and conclusion - Once the teachingsession comes to an end it is followed by a concludingsession. Concluding session consist of feedback by thesupervisor. During this session, the audio or video recordingmay also be displayed in order to give an opportunity toevaluate oneself. Moreover, it also boosts the confidencelevel of the trainee. It is the best way to reinforce the traineeto work better the next time.6. Re-planning - Mastering a skill is an ongoing process.Thus, once the cycle of micro teaching revolves, the processis repeated. This repetition involves re-planning of thelesson plan. The aim of this re-planning is to master theskill mentioned earlier.7. Re-teaching - On completion of the re-planning of thelesson, it is again taught to another group of students fromthe same class. The time duration is kept as same as theprevious class. This method contributes in practicing theskill repeatedly.8. Re-discussion - At the end of re-teaching session,the discussion and conclusion step is repeated. Thesediscussion and suggestions encourages the performanceof the trainee. Thus, the process of feedback is procuredto enhance the performance further more.9. Redoing - After the end of every session, this cycle isrepeated. The repetition is continued until the required skillis mastered. This process is repeated while attaining allthe required skills.
Thus, we can conclude that micro-teaching involvesthe 4R’s viz: Recording, Re-teaching, Re-discussing andRedoing.Three Phases of Micro teaching -1. Knowledge acquisition - This is the first phase ofmicro teaching. It includes collection of data. In this phase,the trainee teacher gathers knowledge about the requiredskills by reading different literature as well as going throughcertain demonstrating videos. Further, this phase includesthe understanding of required skill in a rational manner, as
a classroom component.2. Skill acquisition - This is the working phase of microteaching program. Under this phase the trainee teacher isasked to prepare lessons and practice, skills based on themodel presented at the start. Here two factors are of majorimportance of micro teaching i.e. the feedback and thesetting. Setting includes the length of the lesson, theduration of the class, the skill to be obtained, supervisorand the students.3. Transferring phase - This is the last and major phaseof micro-teaching. Here the trainee comes out in a realsituation, which is not controlled. Here the teachers as wellas the students get the platform to learn and grow. Thistakes place in a real classroom, unlike the previous stagesof micro teaching.Advant ages of Micro T eaching - Micro-teaching is aplatform for beginner teachers to improve teachingcompetencies. Here are few micro teaching benefits -1. Elasticity of practice - Micro-teaching helps indeveloping various skills in trainees as well as the currentteaching staff. It helps in improving the handling skills ofthe teachers. It gives better opportunity due to small-scaleteaching. Moreover, it broadens the knowledge of varioustechniques of teaching.2. Confidence booster - Micro teaching is a personalityenhancer too. Due to several micro teaching activities andpractices, micro teaching effectively increases theconfidence level of the teachers. Moreover, the experienceof teaching enables them in better classroom management.3. Budget oriented - Unlike other various programs andseminars that are very costly, micro teaching program isbudget oriented. Teachers can practice within the real classor at any other place.4. More learning and less damage - Micro teachingprogram is conducted with not more than 3-4 students at atime. This makes it possible to acquire a better teachingexperience. In addition, it lessens the chances of mistakes.5. Improves attitude - A positive attitude contributes tobetter results. Thus, one of the objectives of this programis to guide the trainees to attain a positive attitude towardsany criticism. As a result, negative feed backs also motivatethe trainees to strive for betterment.6. Promotes systematic lesson planning - Lessonplanning is one of the skills that a teacher needs to master.Micro teaching program, within a given content, helps thetrainee to prepare systematic lesson plans.7. Inst ant feedback - Feedbacks are the best way toimprove. Micro teaching enables the teachers to gain instantfeedbacks from the supervisors. An instant feedback givesmore potential for rectifying mistakes.8. Mastering skills - This program helps in masteringtypes of micro teaching skills and strategies like lecturing,questioning, probing and initiating discussions. Further, ithelps in improving a separate teaching style.Disadvant ages of Micro T eaching - The followingmentioned are few micro teaching limitations.

1. Hampers the creativity - Creativity is the core of anyjob. It flows along with the task. However, in process ofmicro teaching, due to limited period, it becomes difficult tobring out that creativity. Thus, micro teaching does notcontribute in increasing the bars of creativity.2. Training S taff - Better teaching promotes betterlearning experience. Similarly, for better teaching one needsto undergo better training as well. Micro teaching coursebenefits teachers in gaining that experience, but it requireswell-trained educators to train the teachers. Without aproper educating staff, it is impossible to implement microteaching course.3. Lesser student lesser interest - Teaching is an art.However, not everyone is capable of teaching. Any jobneeds passion and interest. They play a key role in drivingthe person to strive for improvement. In micro teachingprogram, there are maximum 3-4 students therefore lesserstudents fail to motivate the teacher to improve. Insteadthere are chances of teachers losing their interestaltogether.4. Wastes a lot of time - Micro teaching is teacheroriented activity. Here in, the focus is on improving efficiencyin teaching techniques. Each session lasts around 5 – 10minutes minimum. During this period, the aim is to developteaching skills and thus student learning is ignored. Itcertainly wastes the time of student, as it does not benefithim.
Further, for practicing several times, various studentsare called at different period. This may also hamper theiroverall academic performance. Thus, it is advisable toconduct the training program keeping in mind all the factors.5. Training period timing - Micro teaching program isundoubtedly a benefiting course to the teaching staff. It is apromising method for the holistic development of theteachers in the teaching field. However, there is one minordrawback of this program. The training period is not enoughto develop all the required skills properly. In addition, onetrainee needs approximately 35 minutes to practice once.Not more than ten trainees can practice once within fivehours. It is certainly a time consuming program.6. Not realistic and practical - Micro teaching is a veryadvanced form of learning however; it does have its ownlimitation. When it comes to teaching a diverse level ofstudents at once, it becomes a hassle. During the training,the strength of the students is limited however when the
strength of students is increased it seems like a problem.This program manages to keep the teachers away fromthe real classroom problems. As a result, trainees strugglein maintaining classroom behaviour. Moreover, artificialsituation do not help in preparing teachers for real timesituation.7. One alone is not sufficient - Micro teaching is aconcept innovated at Stanford University by ProfessorRobert Bush and Dwight Allen. One of the principle of microteaching is skill enhancement. However, these skills aretargeted one at a time and so not all skills are developedwithin the given period. Thus, integration of different microteaching techniques is needed.8. One at a time - Apart from the skills, micro teachinginvolves only one trainee at a time. For a single session oftraining, it requires approximate 35 minutes. Thus, singletrainee can practice only once in 35 minutes. It is not onlytime consuming but also an irritating process for thesupervisors if there are more than ten trainees in a batch.Micro teaching is indeed an advanced level of teachingprogram that enables the teachers to gain confidence beforestepping into the profession of a teacher.
With the vast impact of globalization on every aspectof the world, there is certainly need of various schools.Efficient and effective teaching is one of the major factorsparents look at before enrolling their children into a school.Conclusion:-
Thus, implementing a micro teaching programs for newteachers as well as in service teachers are an ideal way toset foot with the world. Pros and cons are a part of everyinnovation and thus keeping in mind those aspects oneshould opt for the suitable program. Micro teaching is awidely accepted technique adopted and approved byvarious institutions. By understanding the importance ofMicro-Teaching, the teacher can prepare his/herself intaking this compulsory course in developing theirprofessional career as a teacher. Being a professionalteacher means he/she must have teaching skills, knowledgeand attitudes as a teacher.References:-1. Micro Teaching - A Practical Approach.2. Y. K. Singh - Micro Teaching.3.

Abstract - The efficiency of an educational system depends largely on the efficiency of its teacher. The quality ofeducation imported to children depends to a large extent on the quality of teacher in our schools. No doubt the assetsof an educational enterprise like building, equipment, curriculum, books, and teaching technology are important, butthe human power which is the teacher is so vital and significant to make these assets effective. It is the teacher whocan bring up all these assets of educational enterprise or they can make these sole killing.Thus competent, committed,challenging and dedicated teachers are the greatest asset for any educational institution. The commonwealth report(1974) stated,”the teacher has a major role in educational development whether he approaches has worked activelyas passively. He can influence development adversely by opposing innovation or merely remaining mute in the faceofa growing need for reform on the other hand; he can participate activity as the initiator himself or an interpreter theplans deserved by others.”Key Words - Efficiency, Educational system, challenging, curriculum.
The Teacher Empowerment And BarriersAnd Suggestion For Qualitative Improvement
In Teacher Education
Introduction - “A lamp never light another lamp,Unless it continues to burn its own flameA teacher can never truly teach,
Unless he is still learning in himself.”(Tagore)The above given lines present the real quality of a
teacher the word ‘quality’ may be defined as skill,excellence, perfection, standard, competence for work andvalue for money. Quality may be also defined ascombination of competence with virtue, excellence inperformance and capability of delivering goods. Tounderstand teacher’s empowerment’ it must be mentionedthat what are the skills which describe teacherempowerment A teacher plays his role towards societyintwo ways (a) inside the school by preparing students foreffective citizenship and (b) outside the school by assumingthe role of a social worker and an agent of social change,however, his role in the schools is of vital significance.
The role of teacher have been discussed and debutedby educationists and educational planners time to time onvarious occassions keeping in views the changing needsof society and demand of the contemporary period. Thereports of the several committees and commissions set upfor the same, in but shall is that the competent and efficientteacher can be prepared by an effective professional trainingprogramme.In 1991, the national council of educationalresearch and training (NCERT) presented a document onelementary teacher education curriculum-guideline andsyllabus. In this for teacher education programme emphasisis given in development of proficiency in teaching and easeof teaching strategies, aids and skills in planning and

management of various activities in schools. The objectivesdocument so for revealed that the focus of teachereducation programme essentially involves a provision oftheoretical learning and development of teachingcompetencies and skills to carry out the professionalfunctions effectively. But with the present educational goalsof achieving mass enrolment andretention as well as qualityeducation, developing teaching competencies in teachingprocess may not have been in immense help for the presenteducational goal. There is need of understanding not onlyof the teaching process but also cognitiveand effectivecomponents of students, their needs and expectations inclassroom and situational demands. Meaning and need ofteacher empowerment.
Today is the era of 21st century, due of globalization,liberalization and privalization, the educational institutesbecome a salable knowledge rule that has to operate rapidlychanging environment of trade and transactions. Due toglobal revolution in information technology, now we needof good quality universities, colleges and schools .for which,there is a demand to produce good quality teachers in thefield of education. Therefore now a day a need is to felt toenhance the professional expertise of teachers sound withinformationtechnology through teacher trainingprogrammes to arrive at solutions to our classroom issue.In a similar echo, the issue of teachers’ empowerment forbetter educational management has been a concern amongeducationists.
Here, teacher empowerment does not mean to makethe teachers more political powerful person as to have more

autonomy in hands to meet out has demands, wills andwishes, but to become a intelligent person having commandover the subject with mould skills and knowledge to applyto the competitive and information based society. In thisregard the teacher has to have the following attributes like-1. Service mindness 2.Self lessness, 3.Being conscious,4. Not being too many minded, 5.being loving to theirstudents and related persons, 6. Being empathetic andpatient, 7.Being good listener, 8. Having thirst for newknowledge and information, 9.willing to share theknowledge, 10. Being the research oriented.According toperrone (1991), empowerment grows from the real authoritythat comes from knowledge, understand, wisdom andcontrol of the guiding language and craft of teaching. It isthe development of serious professional relationships andestablish practices that will further teacher’s learning, willenlarge their authoritativeness and in the process providea more powerful voice and greater freedom of action, whatis to be emphasized is that the professionalism and authorityemerge from sound knowledge gained form closeobservation of their students better understanding of howstudents learn and systematic reflection on practice.
Usually teacher education programme attempt todefine teaching expertise exclusively through professionalknowledge and lists of discrete skills i.e. the proceduresand techniques one uses in practice, and then organizeteacher education programmes around these3. Thoughthese two resources knowledge and skills are thought toencompass all of the professional expertise, otherresources are also important as they interact withknowledge acquisition and use of skills. These resourcesincluded beliefs, values, commitments, realisticexpectations, professional person one adopts big attitudetowards work, beliefs about one’s role and finally an abilityto reason about practice.Thus In Simpler T erms The Empowerment Of T eacherMeans -1. A teacher should be conscious about his roles in terms
of teaching, training, consultancy and research.2. A teachershould encourage students and students to
be willing partners in the learning process.3. The teacher should continue his studies so that he may
be proficient in the subject he is teaching. He shouldnot be restricted to teaching only should in extensionalso.
4. The teacher should be able to create and sustain anacademic environment.
5. A teacher should be a manages of teaching rather thantransmitter of content. He should manage the studentsby using dialogue system as well as attention drawingtechniques and strategies in the classroom.
6. A teacher is expected to dedicated his/her efforts andenergy towards the development of institution; they areworking and in the process develop themselves asprofessionals.
7. A teacher should be very sincere to his/her students. If
the teacher is not inspired by the ideals of teachingprofession and nnot dedicate to his pupils and society,he cannot mold the future of the citizens.
8. The teacher should maintain clear standards ofbehavior.
9. Development of ethical values such as honesty,integrity, empathy, co-operation,peace and justiceamong student should become part and parcel of hisduty.
Barriers In The T eacher Education - Following are theweakness or barriers in the education of ourteachers:’Untrained teachers’Lack of professionalstatus,Problem of drop-outs,Limited student strength,Outmoded curriculum, No special training of teacher-education,Lack of funds,Dearth of new technology ofteaching,Insufficient time and attention paid to the actualpractice teaching, Absence of student opportunities forexploration and inquiry, Isolation between the colleges ofeducation and schools,Ineffective supervision of teachingpractice by the supervisor,Lack of physical facilities,Isolatemethodology of teaching, Imbalance between theory andpractice,Unsuitable environment of training institutions.Drawbacks in the present system of teacher education- The education commission (1964-66) has identified thefollowing drawbacks in the present system of teachereducation -(a) The training institution has remained isolated from the
main stream of academic life of the university, as fromthe daily problems of the school.
(b) The quality of training institutions is poor.(c) Teacher educators, in many cases are not very
competent.(d) Vitality and realism are lacking in the curriculum. Only
traditional courses are offered. Choices are limited.(e) Teaching practice is carried on as a matter of routine.(f) Bright students are not attracted to the training
institutions.(g) Student teachers lack motivation. Teaching is the last
resort of the unemployed.(h) Student-teacher ratio is high.Suggestions of Kothari Commission on T eacherEducation -1. University should have teaching and research
department in education.2. The status of training colleges should be equal to arts
and science colleges.3. Education should be introduced as an elective subject
in the pre and post degree courses.4. The period of training for maricultures should be two
years and for graduates and post-graduates one year.5. Part-time courses should be introduced to remove the
backlog of untrained teachers.6. State boards of education should be established to
regulate teacher education.7. Barriers between the training programmes of teacher
of general subject and special subjects should be

Introduction - Man almost always has a modifyinginfluence and without proper regulation he often has adestructive effect. For instance, by applying certainecological principals to such fields as agriculture, biologicalsurveys, game management, pest control, forestry,horticulture and fishery biology he has received tremendouseconomic gains. Human Life on earth demands moreKnowledge about ecosystems and other ecologicalproblems.
The issue of environmental education (EE) has beenthoroughly discussed at several national and internationalseminars, workshops and conferences after deliberationsat floured in 1971 and in United Nations conference onhuman environment at Stockholm in 1972. The outcome ofStockholm conference was the establishment of UnitedNations Environment programmed (UNEP).
In a national seminar, organized by the IndianEnvironmental Society in collaboration with the InternationalProgrammed on environmental Management at the IndianNational Science Academy, New Delhi in 1979, emphasiswas given to incorporate gentian thought and values as apart of environment al education.
The First International Conference on EnvironmentalEducation held in new Delhi in 1980, the late Mrs. IndiaGandhi observed that EE is to help arouse socialconsciousness and make community aware of the fact thatthe good of the individual and that of community are bothharmed by ecological disruptions .In 1985, there was theSecond International
Conference on EE at New Delhi. Several importantpoints could emerge from the deliberations of theinternational, regional, national and even local conferencesone.
The most relevant to the subject is Chinese perceptionabout education which says: “If you plan for one year, plantrice, If you plan for ten years, plant trees, But, if you plan
for one hundred years, educate the people”.The urgent need for environmental education, but only
some have clear ideas about what need to be done, andvery few have either the actual experience or the knowledgeabout the course that need to be taught. The chief objectiveof environmental education is that individual and socialgroups should acquire awareness and knowledge, developattitudes, skills and abilities and participate in solving real-life environmental problems.
Goals, objectives and Guiding principles ofEnvironmental Education
Goals of EE are to develop a world populations thatis aware of and concerned about, total environment and itsassociated problems, and commit-ment to work individualyand collectively towards solution of current problems andthe prevention of new ones onces (UNESCO, 1975)Objectives
There were formulated to help social groups andindividuals towards the, following:1. Awareness - acquire an awareness of and sensitivityto the total environment and its allied problems.2. Knowledge - gain a variety of experiences and acquirea basic under- standing of the environment and itsassociated problems.3. Attitude - acquire a set of values and feelings concernfor the environment and the motivation for activeparticipation in environmental improvement and protection.4. Skill - acquire skills for identifying and solvingenvironmental problem.5. Evaluation ability - evaluate environmental measuresand education programses in terms of ecological, economic,social, aesthetic and educational factors.6. Particip ations - provide an opportunity to be activelyinvolved at all levels in working towards the resolutions ofenvironment problems.Guidiling principles -

Abstract - Higher education system plays an important role for the country’s overall development which includesindustrial, social, economic etc. Indian higher education system is third largest in the world. The role of Indian highereducational institutes such as colleges and universities in the present time is to provide quality based education in thefield of education, research etc to empower youth for self sustainability. This paper includes the key challenges thatIndia is currently facing in higher education and also includes some initiatives taken by the government to meet thosechallenges.Key Words - Higher education system, Empower, Self Sustainability.
Indian Higher Education System - Challenges And Suggestions
Introduction - Higher education means different things todifferent people. If we talk about higher education in termsof level, it means to gain higher educational qualificationby the teaching-learning process in the higher educationalinstitutes such as colleges and universities. Moreover highereducation imparts knowledge, develops the student’s abilityand also give him/her a wider perspective of the worldaround. Higher education becomes input to the growth anddevelopment of industry and also seen as an opportunityto participate in the development process of the individualthrough a flexible education mode.Higher Education in India - Next to China and UnitedStates India has the third largest higher education systemin the world in terms of size and its diversity and largest inthe world in terms of number of educational institutions.After independence Indian higher education attain amassive growth.
In the Indian system, higher (tertiary) education startsafter the 10+2 (i.e. ten years of primary and secondaryeducation flowered by two years of senior secondaryeducation). Framework of higher education in India is verycomplex. It includes various type of institutions likeuniversities, colleges, institutes of national importance,polytechnics etc. Universities are also of different types likecentral universities which are formed by government ofIndia, by an act of parliament which are responsible forarranging and distributing resources required by universitygrant commission(UGC), State universities, Deemeduniversities (aided and unaided) and Private universities.India has a federal set-up and the Indian constitution placeseducation as a concurrent responsibility of both the centreand state. While the centre co-ordinates and fixed standardsin higher and technical education, school education is theresponsibility of state. Under the department of highereducation there are several regulatory bodies and research

Culture (PHISPC)Challenges of Higher Education System in India -l Gap between the Supply and demand: In highereducation, India has a low rate of enrolment i.e. grossenrolment ratio (GER), at only 19%. If we compared to chinaand brazil GER is 26% and 36% respectively.l Lack of Quality Research work: There is no shortageof funding for the top Indian Institutions such as IITs, IIMsand other institutes of national importance. However, budgetfor the Research is not under spent due to the insufficientgood quality research work. Due to the limited focus onResearch and Internationalization, very few Indian highereducational institutes are globally recognized.l Number of Research papers published in India hasincreased continuously for the past few decades butreflected in low citation impact if compared with othercountries like Germany, United States, France and China.l Indian higher education is facing with the problem ofpoor quality of curriculum. In most of the higher educationalinstitutes curriculum is out-dated and irrelevant.l Shortage of Faculty and High Student-Faculty Ratio -In most of the state and central universities more than 30%of faculty positions are lying vacant. While the student

enrolment in higher education is growing with faster rate inthe last few years.lllll Inadequate Infrastructure and Facilities - Apart fromthe highly recognized higher educational institutes in Indiamost of the colleges and universities lack in the basic andhigh-end research facilities. Many institutes are runningwithout proper infrastructure and basic facilities like library,hostels, transport, sports facility etc. which is desirable torank the quality institution.l Presently there is a very less collaboration of highereducational institutes with industries.l Low employability of graduates is one of the majorproblem in India. Only a small proportion of Indian graduatesare considered employable. Placement outcome also dropsignificantly as we move away from the top institutes.Initiatives t aken by the government in the area of humanresource development -l A project has been taken up to made a national digitallibrary of eBooks on various subjects and topics and anotherset up through which highly qualified faculty of centrallysponsored institutions like IITs, IIMs and central universitieswould offer online courses free of cost.l Another special scheme called “Udaan” for girl studentshas launched by the Central government. Under thisscheme mentoring and scholarship will be provided toenable meritorious girl students to transit from schools totechnical education without any difficulty and also to promoteteaching and learning of mathematics and science at seniorsecondary school level by providing free resources.l The focus of the project is to overcome the lowenrolment ratio of girl students in prestigious technicalinstitutions and enable them to receive special incentivesand support so that they can join these institutions and goon to take leadership roles in the future.l Another interesting step is the launching of a missionnamed after freedom fighter and educationist Pandit MadanMohan Malviya to build a strong professional cadre ofteachers by addressing all the issues related to teachers,teaching, teacher preparation, professional development,curriculum design, design and development of moreeffective pedagogy and better assessment and evaluationmethodologies.l The Central Government has also launched a schemecalled Unnat Bharat Abhiyan for the promotion oftechnologies from the laboratory to the ground. Under thescheme, higher educational institutes would connect withvillages in their neighbourhood and address the variousproblems faced by them. The scheme would particularlylooking for the solutions for water management, organicfarming, renewable energy, infrastructure and livelihood.IIT, Delhi is the coordinating institute of this scheme. About130 villages have so far been adopted by IITs, NITs acrossthe country under the scheme..l Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan has launched to reviveinterest in the technology among youth through support forinnovative learning based on observations and
experimentation. The focus would be on learning outsidethe classroom through direct interaction with theenvironment around the educational institutions.l Under the Global Initiative of Academic Networks(GIAN) programme, India’s ministry of human resourcedevelopment and department of science and technologywill “create a channel for US professors in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics to teach in Indianacademic and research institutions on short-termexchanges”, as per the website of the US Department ofState.Suggestions for Improving the System of HigherEducation -l There is a need to implement innovative and
transformational approach form primary to highereducation level to make Indian educational systemglobally more relevant and competitive.
l In higher educational institutes Industrial co-operationmust be their for the development of curriculum,organizing expert lectures, internships, live projects,career counseling and placements.
l Higher educational institutes need to improve quality,reputation and establish credibility through studentexchange, faculty exchange programs, and othercollaborations with high- quality national andinternational higher educational institutes.
l Government must promote collaboration betweenIndian higher education institutes and top Internationalinstitutes and also generates linkage between nationalresearch laboratories and research centers of topinstitutions for better quality and collaborative research.
l There is a need to focus on the graduate students byproviding them such courses in which they can achieveexcellence, gain deeper knowledge of subject so thatthey will get jobs after recruitment in the companieswhich would reduce unnecessary rush to the highereducation.
Conclusion - In this paper we have presented the presentsituation of India in higher education sector. We also identifythe challenges like demand-supply gap, lack of qualityresearch, problem of infrastructure and basic facilities,shortage of faculty etc in the higher education. Theimplementation framework for twelfth plan aims to focuson improving quality of state institutions, to revamp financialaid programs, to interlink expansion, equity and excellence.To improve the higher education system we need to improveteaching pedagogy, build synergies between research andteaching, facilitate alliance of higher institutions amongthemselves, research centers and industries. This isnecessary not only to take care of economic growth, but itis also essential for social cohesion and to empower thecountry’s youth.References:-1.

Abstract - In this regard a number of philosophers, intellectuals, leaders and religious gurus give their opinion time totime and added value in the concept. Deen Dayal Upadhyay who was one of the leading Indian philosopher, economist,sociologist, historian, journalist, and political scientist gave the concept of essential humanism who developed theprinciple of integral humanism Their life time might be various, but their reason behind the freedom struggle wasrooted in India‘s age-old culture. Nehru had an entirely different political philosophy that mostly differed with Gandhiji‘s,but he emerge at the centre phase in self-governing India after the early death of Gandhiji and Sardar Vallabh BhaiPatel. Political philosophies in the modern period are rooted in the uprising next to theocratic Papal States. Most ofthese modern political philosophies are quite dogmatic, as they emerged as reaction to political, social and economiccircumstances that exist in European continent at the time, and hence, have promoted social strife and conflict.The indigenous superior opinion were not given due thought, leave unaccompanied adopting them in the independentIndia‘s governance and political, socioeconomic environment. Here is where the role of social and political activistslike Deendayal Upadhyaya and his political thought and philosophy, named as Integral Humanism, gain credence andimportance. This concept and thought is rooted firmly in India‘s unique ethos, virtues, society and social thoughts suchas one for all and all for one‘. It is this beautiful, ideal concept of Integral Humanism that is suitable and appropriate toIndia.Key Words - Deendayal Upadhyaya; Integral Humanism; Ekathma Manava Vadh; Political Philosophy; Democracy;Communism; Socialism; British Imperial Rule; Tilak; Mahathma Gandhiji; Hindu Swaraj; Vallabai Patel; Nehru.
A Study Of Integral Humanism -Political PhilosophyRooted On Indian Society
Introduction - Since the beginning of human society therewas a conversation initiate on the way to live a wealthy lifeand to create the others (society) living prosperous too. Inthis regard a number of philosophers, intellectual, leadersand religious gurus gave their opinion time to time andadded value in the concept. Deen Dayal Upadhyay whowas one of the leading Indian philosopher, economist,sociologist, historian, journalist, and political scientist gavethe concept of Integral humanism that developed thedoctrine of integral humanism. The theme was initiallydelivered in the form of four lectures in Bombay during April22-25, 1965.
According to him “Humankind had four hierarchicallyprearranged attribute of body, mind, intellect and spirit whichcorrespond to four worldwide objectives, kama (desire orsatisfaction), artha (wealth), dharma (moral duties) andmoksha (total liberation or ‘salvation’). While none mightbe unnoticed, dharma is the ‘basic’, and moksha the finalobjective of humanity and society. He claim that the majorproblem with together capitalist and socialist ideologies isthis that they only think the wants of body and mind, andwere therefore based on the materialist objectives of wishand prosperity

advocates the concurrent and integrated agenda of thebody, mind and intelligence and soul of every human being.His philosophy of Integral Humanism, which is a mixture ofthe material and the spiritual, the individual and thecombined, bears eloquent indication to this. He visualizedfor India a decentralized polity and independent economywith the village as the base.
Deendayal Upadhyaya was convinced that India as anindependent nation might not rely upon Western conceptslike individualism, democracy, socialism, communism orcapitalism and was of the outlook that the Indian polityafter Independence has been raise upon these superficialWestern basics and not entrenched in the society of India’sancient culture. He was of the view that the Indian intellectwas getting suffocate by Western theories, which left a“barricade” to the growth and development oforiginal Bharatiya (Sanskrit: “of Bharat” [India]) thought.Upadhyay was compelled to answer what he felt was theurgent need in India for a “fresh breeze”.
He welcomed contemporary technology but requiredit to be adapted to suit Indian requirements. He supposedin Swaraj (“Self-governance”).He died under unforeseensituation and was establish dead on 11 February 1968 at Mughal Sarai railwayyard. Upadhyaya edited Panchjanya and Swadesh (Daily) from Lucknow. In Hindi, he has written

a drama Chandragupta Maurya, and later wrote a biographyof Shankaracharya. He translated a Marathi biography ofHedgewar, the founder of RSS.
He won awards and scholarships from the Maharajaof Sikar and industrialist Ghanashyam Das Birla. Turningdown all offers of government and private sectoremployment, he joined the RSS. He kept company withNanaji Deshmukh and Sundar Singh Bhandari, RSSpracharaks who went on to play a critical role in anti-Congress politics in the 1960s and 70s. Rising rapidlythrough the RSS ranks, he started a series of publicationsincluding its current mouthpiece, Panchjanya, and startedanother when this was banned. When that too, wassuppressed, he launched a third one. He served as itscompositor, machine man and dispatcher and never missedan issue.
In a recent lecture, K. N. Govindacharya, who partedways with the BJP, recalls how Upadhyaya expelled sevenof the nine Jan Sangh MLAs in Rajasthan for opposing theZamindari Abolition Act. He outlined his philosophy forgovernance to a number of 500 party workers in 1964 andobtainable an expanded version at its plenary session in1965. The final version was delivered in the shape of fourlectures in Bombay, titled “Integral Humanism”. Accordingto BJP veteran LK Advani, the title was selected to contrastit with the thesis of ‘Radical Humanism’ put forward by MNRoy, the former Communist leader.
Deendayal Upadhyaya, the ardent nationalist, broughtto life the indigenous political concepts that find significancein the still dynamic political scenario of India. He neverclaimed that through his writings and speeches he gavesomething new to our society, whatever he said wasadhering to this nation‘s age-old wisdom, which was basedon our culture and tradition. Leave apart his humility; we beable to say that Deendayal obtainable a philosophy withthe very old
This concept in India has emerge without cause anydifference in the center of the nation‘s constituent, namely,an individual, a family, the society, and the state, which arecomplimentary to every additional for the collectiveenlargement of outside and interior, be it the body, the mindand the intellect. The increase of Artha (Wealth) and Kama(Desire) should adhere to Dharma (Laws of Virtue).The Contemporary Political Philosophies And It sImpacts - The contemporary period political philosophieshaving their origin entrenched in uprising next to theocraticPapal States, which finally gave birth to main conceptsnamely democratic system, socialism, communism andcapitalism. People became rigid followers of such politicalideologies, which were born as a response to current socio-economic-political situation of those Times. These politicalphilosophies only perpetuated conflicts within society.Humans are the ultimate in development and formation,because of their mental ability, capacity and potential. Theseled to appearance of many great opinions for the humankindand their life on Earth. But now, the modern era political
philosophies have led to treating humans as animals,promote thoughts such as the continued existence of theFittest‘ or the laws of the jungl.India Post Independence - Politics had become integralpart in the life of ordinary man during British Imperial rule inIndia. Many movements, organizations, leaders sprang upand resisted the tyrannical rule of the British aggressors.There were leaders in the pre-independence era such asBala Gangadhar Tilak, Vinayak Damodhara Savarkar andMahathma Gandhi, who were trying to unite people in theirfight against the alien rule under the banner of our richculture and tradition. They believed that political freedombased on our culture alone will be stable and will last long.Unlike the freedom struggle of some other nations, whichwere mere political, Indian struggle for independence wasbased strongly on culture. This proved that our country is anation, rooted in culture, tradition and the glorious past.That is the real significance of our freedom struggle.Thefeeling of one nation ‘of our people is not exactly based onany political concepts, unlike other revolutions in the westernworld.
Whose political philosophy was rooted in ideas aliento this nation, took centre stage in independent India. He,along with others sharing his political philosophies, not evenanalyzed India‘s own political concepts and if they wereworthy to follow and instead copied and implemented thosesystems of politics and governance prevalent in the West.Most of the western political concepts of modern timeconsidered humans as material-being alone, whosephysical, material needs had to be fulfilled. The divinity withinthe human being was not something they consideredimportant. The concept of Socialist Indian Union alienatedthe common man from the political system of NehruvianIndia. His socialism was silently rejected later, which is adifferent story. In Socialist India, for most of the problemssolution could not be found; Social inequality, economicdisparity, poor becoming more poorer, increasingdependence on Government by our people were thoseproblems. It is the considerate opinion of this scholar thatthe Nehruvian political system adopted by India is notsuitable to our nation. The concept of Socialist Democracyof Nehru and its impact on this nation‘s socio-politicalsystem need to be rejected completely. To quote scholarand author Michel Danino, who countered the West‘sobsession’s concepts: Strictly speaking, Secularism of theEuropean kind is ill suited to India, since religion did nothere attempt to harness political power. Imposing it in Indianpublic life can only lead to cultural nihilism.Deendayal Up adhyaya The Creative Thinker - DeendayalUpadhyaya‘s main political philosophy Integral Humanism‘was delivered as a lecture in Bharatiya Jana Sangh‘s (BJS)party conference at Mumbai in 1968, as its leader. Though,the phrase Integral Humanism ‘was at first used by IndianFreedom Fighter Bipin Chandra Pal in the year 1921, itwas elaborated and given exact meaning by DeenadayalUpadhyaya. Integral Humanism is about why there should

be stable conflicts in man‘s life in the name of variouspolitical concepts? It talks about our time-tested way of lifewhich is normally called as Dharma‘, the sustenance oflife. He only exaggerated it for the world at big to take acloser look at it. Integral Humanism‘ not only talksconcerning our own ancient way of life based on dharma,but too how it is suitable in today‘s life Deendayal did notrefuse the western political concept now like that; Hisargument was that the problem and its result cannot beapplied uniformly as it may not suit dissimilar cultures.Significance Of Integral Humanism - In view of the factthat his political idea is rooted in Indian ethos and traditions,one need not give religious connotation to his philosophy.Some best English knowledgeable scholars in our country,following the path of a few western thinkers, had wronglyinterpreted and defined our core concepts. They were notprepared to accept the contribution of no conflicting Indiancivilizations ethos to the world. E.g. the definition of Hindu’sa religion; contrary to this it is generally understood as wayof life and it is our national identity. The same is in the caseof Dharma‘which means sustenance of life, and not religion.With proper understanding of these concepts Deendayalgave profound inspiration to our nation that had beensubjugated by alien rule for centuries together and that hadlost its ancient nationhood, which is Hindu‘ by nature, hasits roots firmly on ancient Indian values, and our way of lifebased on Dharma‘. The application of his philosophy ispossible not only in politics, but also in other spheres ofman‘s life like social, economic and cultural spheres of ournation. Deendayal carried out in-depth study of most of thesocio, politico, economic theories that prevailed in his lifetime, apart from analyzing its evil impact on various nations,which made him to ponder on India‘s own system for wayof life, and through that, to find solutions to present dayconflicts across the board. Is there a synthesis among thewestern concepts ‘such as communism and capitalism?Can we find synthesis with each other in these philosophiessince each is a dogma that rejects the other view thewestern philosophies presented conflicts and struggles asa way of life to mankind?‘Religion’, The Fabric Of Indian Social Life - IntegralHumanism‘ was presented to entire humanity by Deendayalto resolve conflicts in mankind; to create synthesis inhuman‘s life with that of society, state and nation, and beingcomplementary to each other rather than being asconflicting elements. Integral Humanism insists thathuman‘s life is embodiment of synchronization not only inbody, mind and intellect but in all spheres, such as sharingduties as well as rights, human-to-human, individual-to-family, family-to-village, family-to-society,‘Integral Humanism’, The Indian Approach Of Life - TheIndian nationhood and its individuality is Hindu‘, the Indianmethod of Life or Sanadhana Dharma' (Age-old Dharma).This land is therefore called Hindu Rashtra', which is boundby Dharma‘. Deendayal, while elaborating his philosophy,uses the phrases like our ancient nation‘, our idea of
magnificent life‘, the philosophy of life here developedthrough the ages‘, national self-esteem‘and nationalcharacter‘. These ideas had takers in contemporary leadersof India such as Aurobindo, Tilak, Gandhi and Patel. Thesephrases imply the direction of his thinking with stress forNational rebirth, with the conception of cultural unity, whichis the foundation of survival as a nation and was obvious inits thousands of years of history. Historic concept of thenature of this nation developed through centuries: Thenationhood cannot be shaped now by declarations. It is thecontinuity of history, culture and tradition that give causefor its function as a nation. The expansion of Artha (wealth)and Kama (desire) should adhere to Dharma (virtue).
The concept of Dharma is not only applicable to anindividual but also to society, state and nation at large.Human is both political and socioeconomic being, hedepends not only on his right alone but also has duties andresponsibilities towards everything in his life, be animateor inanimate. That is his Dharma, which is Indian way oflife, called Sanatana Dharma‘ (Age-old Dharma). Deendayalemphasized that politics should be for nation‘s sake aloneand not for personal advantage of a selected few. He notonly presented philosophical perception, but also presentedthe mundane, as to how the philosophical perceptions canbe implemented with adherence to our tradition. With thatoutlook he had presented certain system to maintain ourlarge society. The mechanism of that system insists one‘sduty and voluntary cooperation from all the participants insociety from the village to the entire nation.Origins And Development Of Hiamanism - Deendayalwas not only a political campaigner but also a thinker whopondered over a variety of issues and aspects of social,political and economical significance. He formulates thephilosophy of “Integral Humanism”. This work seeks to lookat its various sizes. though, before analyzing Deendayal’sideas on humanism, it would be very important to have anapproaching into the concept of humanism in its Manymanifestations as expressed in the Western and the Indianthought. Humanism is a topic to varied definitions andinterpretations. Broadly speaking, humanism is a man-centered philosophy. According to H.J. Blackham,“Humanism proceeds from a hypothesis that man is on hisindividual and this life is all and an assumption ofresponsibility for one’s own life and for the life of mankind -an evaluation and an undertaking, two personal decisions.Less than this is never humanism.”Conclusion - Thus after the depth assessment of theliterature it could be concluded that that although Upadhyayand his all counterpart meant at the gladness of society,though the Upadhyay determined on the happiness anundivided society as the main aim whether the others seemto depended extra on the business theories and approachesto achieve the prosperity and happiness of the society.
Dheendayal Upadhyaya try to find answer from ourindividual scriptures, society and ritual and also, he mostlyand clearly understood although a philosophy evolved stand

on certain circumstance entire the world. Those situationswere not same or parallel to all nations. One solution orphilosophy cannot be useful and kept as a yard stick toother nation‘s problems. Though Dheendayal‘s IntegralHumanism‘ is based on four Purushathas of Dharma, Artha,Kama and Moksha, he did not divulge more about thereligious life of man as he was a political leader and not areligious guru. ‘, which point out that he wanted the thoughtsto be implemented by the common man, the normalfolk.That may be like Thiruvalluvar‘s way of basicallyweaving his couplets without talking concerning Mokshastraight but gave enough stress to Dharma, Artha andKama.References :-1.

Abstract - Education is a human right and essential for realization of all other human rights. It is a basic right whichhelps the individual to live with human dignity the right to education is a fundamental human rights. Every individual,irrespective of race, gender, nationality, ethnic or social origin, religion or political preference, age or disability, isentitled to a free elementary education. Hence the present study has attempted to find out awareness of right toeducation among secondary school teachers. Over the past fifty years global events and people’s experiences havegiven the quest for ensuring peace through human rights awareness and education a major thrust. Internationaldocuments on human rights education published during this period especially those of the United Nations form animportant part of the worldwide educational discourses indicating a progression towards the establishment of a worldeducation system. India has adopted multipronged strategy for ensuring human rights for its citizens. On the onehand, it incorporated into its Constitution as Fundamental Rights the various human rights provided for in the 1948Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). On the other hand, keeping in view the ethnic diversity and highlydivisive society of India, it also practices the policy of protective discrimination for certain traditionally deprived sectionsof society like the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), as well as girls and disabled persons. Consequentlywhile ensuring ‘equality of opportunity’ in matters relating to appointment to any office under the State, it also followsa reservation policy in education and jobs for various disadvantaged sections of society to ensure their adequaterepresentation in education and service sectors.Key Words - Human Right, School Education, Teacher Education.
Awareness of Human Right -Role of Secondary Teachers
Introduction - Teacher education has been considered asthe major instrument to address inequalities in the Indiansociety by promoting equality, social justice and respect forthe individual human being, which are preconditions forensuring rights. The 1986 educational policy of India andits program of action suggest various measures to bringequality through the system of education. A whole chapterof the 1986 National Policy on Education (NPE) spells outmeasures to promote equality of educational opportunityby attending to the specific needs of the deprived sectionsof society. For instance, the NPE 1986 recommends theredesigning of the curriculum, textbooks, training andorientation of teachers, decision makers and administratorsto remove gender bias from textbooks, and bring changein the status of women through education, educationaldevelopment of the SC/ST population and their equalizationwith non-SC/ST population at all stages and levels ofeducation. Certain core values have been identified at thenational level and integrated into the entire syllabus of schooleducation across the country. Some of these core valuesare equalization, democracy, secularism, equality of sexes,and inculcation of scientific temper, etc.
Analyzing the Indian education system from a humanrights perspective, Pandey (2005) concluded that it has

“followed a ‘Value and Awareness Model’ of human rightseducation, wherein human rights are not taught as aseparate subject, instead, various values related to humanrights have been integrated in all subjects and in all stagesof school curriculum.” The Curriculum Framework of 2000reiterated the view that education is an important instrumentto fight inequality and to respond to the social, cultural,emotional, and economic needs of students, promote acohesive society by eliminating biases and imbalances dueto caste, class, region, religion, ideology, gender, etc; ensurethe right of the child to equal access to quality educationand other educational opportunities including those of girlsand children with special needs; and cope with the impactof globalization without losing indigenous traditions andidentity. The 2005 National Curriculum Framework (NCF)provides ample opportunities to promote respect for thechild as an individual, social justice, equality, tolerance etc.In fact, “commitment to democracy and values of equality,justice, freedom, concern for other’s well-being, secularism,respect for human dignity and rights” has been identifiedas the foremost goals of education. NCF (2005), therefore,expects the school curriculums to provide “adequateexperience and space for dialogue and discourse in theschool to build such a commitment in children”. Sensitivity

to others’ well-being and feelings, together with knowledgeand understanding of the world” are the expected bases ofa national commitment to values. In a major departure fromthe earlier frameworks, however, NCF (2005) tries to shiftthe focus from traditional-values-based approach forensuring human rights to peace based approach.Consequently, Education for Peace forms an importantcomponent of the latest reforms in school educationsyllabus in India. It tries to nurture ethical development andinculcate attitude, values and skills required for living inharmony with oneself and with others including nature.Respect for human rights, justice, tolerance, cooperation,social responsibility, respect for cultural diversity, firmcommitment to democracy and non-violent conflictresolution have been identified as “hall marks of educationfor peace” (NCF 2005, page 62). Education for peace asvisualized and promoted by NCF (2005) aims at developinga rational, reflective and mature individual who is consciousof his/her own rights as well as the rights of others and his/her own duty towards others. In fact, education for peacehas been considered as the bridge that facilitatescommunication between people and enables them to enjoytheir rights without impinging the rights of others. Theconstructivist approach advocated by NCF (2005) providesample scope and opportunity for promoting the culture ofrespect for human rights and peace as it calls for honouringthe personal experiences of students and treating it as abase for dialogue and new learning. Education for peaceand human rights emphasizes the skills of active listening,critical thinking, problem solving and conflict resolution,which are also the thrust of constructivist way of learningunder NCF (2005). Both constructivism and human rightseducation are based on humanistic philosophy, which isdedicated to developing mature and self-directed students,and emphasize continuing and lifelong learning.Teachers education and human right s in India - Asindicated earlier, the Indian education system relies heavilyon its teachers who are central to the process of teachingand learning. The country has more than five millionteachers working at different levels of school education andan equally huge network of teacher education institutionsto meet the needs of teacher preparation for the country.These include five hundred District Institutes of Educationand Training (DIETs), eighty seven Colleges of TeacherEducation (CTEs), seventy-three Institutes of AdvancedStudies in Education (IASEs), more than 2,200 primary andsecondary teacher education institutions, and approximatelytwo hundred fifty university departments of education. TheCurriculum Framework prescribed for various teacherpreparation programs of the country promotes the inclusionof themes related to various human rights that the teachersare expected to integrate at the school level. For instance,the 1998 Framework of Teacher Education Curriculumdeveloped by the National Council of Teacher Education(NCTE) is anchored firmly on the view that the teachersthemselves should internalize the values of justice, liberty,
equality and secularism so that they can interpret themeffectively to the students. It strongly believes that theeducation of teachers should equip them with competenciesneeded to deal with discrimination, disparities, inequalities,etc. Consequently, it spells out certain competencies,commitments, and performance areas for the teachers toachieve that help them develop a humanistic perspectivethat is necessary in promoting consciousness towardshuman rights and their practice inside classroom. The visionof teacher education under the NCF (2005) is that theteacher education programs prepare the teachers for therole of being an “encouraging, supportive and humanefacilitator in teaching-learning situations to enable learnersto discover their talents, realize their physical and intellectualpotentialities to the fullest, and to develop character anddesirable social and human values to function asresponsible citizens.” (page 107) The cultural and religiousdiversities of Indian classrooms make the tasks of teachersquite challenging for they do not only have to be acquaintedwith the religious and social diversities but also promoteequality, justice, and fraternity through their activities. NCF(2005) expects the teachers to be “sensitive to the social,professional and administrative contexts in which they needto operate.” (page 108) The curriculum planners tried tohandle this challenge to a considerable extent by introducingthemes on human rights and duties, values and their broadfeatures, perspectives on educational, social, economic andpolitical development in the country, etc. It also addressesissues like secularism, democracy, socialism, social andcultural traditions of India, issues of discrimination, caste,class, gender, religion, and rural-urban stratification in thecountry with the objective of enabling prospective teachersto understand and internalize the expectations of societyfrom them vis-à-vis their own roles. As the result of theglobal challenges and the pressures on teacher educationprograms to prepare teachers to meet these challenges, amore focused attempt in recent past has been made toincorporate issues like human rights, peace education,international education, India’s role in non-alignedmovement, regional cooperation, South Asian Associationfor Regional Cooperation (SAARC), nuclear arms race,disarmament, emerging international economic order,globalization, environmental pollution and conservation andsustainable development, etc. in pre-service teachereducation curriculums. These issues now find place inalmost all teacher education programs at the primary andsecondary levels as well as in the Master in Educationcourses.Import ance of the study - Across the globe many nationsare actively involved in Human Rights Education.

Abstract - In today’s era of competition and survival we observe laxity in moral values. Industrialization has led to theemergence of high life style and raised the standard of living of people. It has made man rich in materialistic sense butdeteriorated the ethical fiber in the society. People crave for money, power and pelf. They are ready to jeopardize theinterest of other people in pursuit of their selfish gains. Corruption in religious, economic, social, educational field isrampant. We come across many social evils in the society. Children due to their exposure to mass-media are turningjuvenile delinquents. Due to lack of values they adhere to whatever is shown in the TV and on net ruining their life.Family disorganization has made them astray. Parents are busy pursuing their careers and children are taken care byday care centers. Due to this value education is not imparted to these children. They become drug addicts, consumealcohol, gamble and enter into anti-social Activities. This is the present scenario which needs to undergo change inorder to have a peaceful society. Teachers play an important role in infusing the knowledge of “Para Vidya” to makestudents aware of knowledge of our self; the knowledge of the supreme reality to keep oneself away from vices.
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, our honorable president in his book “India2020: A Vision of the New Millennium’ has rightlyremarked that “If you are a teacher in whatever capacity, you have a very special role to play because more thananybody else it is you who are shaping the future generation. A teacher has a higher responsibility as compared toother professionals as students look upon the teacher as an embodiment of perfection. Education has become abusiness today. This has changed the outlook of the students as well as the parents and it has further resulted indeterioration of respect for teachers and all those who are a part and parcel of education system. Gautama Buddhahas rightly preached “Desire is the root cause of Evil”. Students are told not to fulfill their desires by improper ways, byadhering to immoral activities. The present paper is an attempt to state the importance of value education in thepresent education system so that the future generations will nourish high ideals and values to contribute in thedevelopment of the society and the role of a teacher in imparting values.Key Words - Value Education, Role of Teacher, Present Education System.
The Importance of value education in thePresent Education System
Introduction - Value Education: Need of the Hour -Mankind is passing through a crisis. The tremendousemphasis on the scientific and mechanical ways of life isfast reducing man to the status of a machine. Moral andreligious values are being undermined. The fundamentalprinciples of civilization are being ignored. Conflicts of ideas,manners and habits are pervading the atmosphere.Disregard for everything old is the fashion of the day. Atthis situation, the solutions of all these social and globalevils are through value education. Emphasis should be laidon such education through which moral values can bedeveloped among the students so that they can conducttheir life morally. They can decide what is right or wrong;what is good or evil; what is justice or injustice. If we canmake a student as a good human being, the developmentof moral values within him is the prior task of education.They are the foundation of human existence. They makeour life meaningful. Due to dearth of values in the presentgeneration the curriculum must give prominence to valueeducation. Value education has never been out of style. It

is very relevant in almost all the fields concerning humanactivity. We have outstanding doctors who are in to organrobbery, brilliant engineers whose bridges collapses soonafter their bills are passed, and accountants who robgovernment treasury by manipulation, civil servants whorule as emperors, politicians with fake promises. All of themare the best educated and trained but their intellectualdishonesty is horrifying. Hence, the need of developmentof moral values is very significant. Some important needshave been mentioned below:1. Preparing Our Children for Future Roles in Society-Knowledge gained in school is only one goal of education.The primary goals of education should be enabling studentsto gain knowledge and moral values. Our kids will needboth in preparing themselves to be good parents andcitizens in society.2. Many Parent s Aren’t T eaching Moral V alues - If allparents were teaching their children moral values in thehome, it would not be necessary for the schools to do thiswork. The sad fact is that a lot of kids are not learning from

their parents the difference between right and wrong. Thisis because most mothers and fathers in their busy workdays spend only a few hours with their children. In manyfamilies there is only one parent and no other role modelsfor kids to follow -3. There is T oo Much V iolence and Dishonesty inSociety - Every day students are exposed to violence,dishonesty, and other social problems in the media and thereal world. How many times have we heard about schoolshootings? What about other times when students arecaught cheating on exams? Then, too, we read aboutbullying in school and fights between gangs. If moral valueswere taught in schools, we would have fewer of theseproblems.4. To Counter Bad Influences in Society -Unfortunately, many of the role models of young peopleare setting bad examples. These bad examples range fromsexual promiscuity, degrading of women, advocacy ofviolence, and the condoning of dishonesty in order tosucceed.5. Moral Values W ill S tick with You for Life - Thesignificant of moral values in our life is very important. Moralvalues teach us what is right or wrong. Thus, we can conductour life in a right direction. We can understand what is goodor evil. This type of learning helps us to conduct our lifemorally in this world.Some Import ant Moral V alues and School Curriculum -According to Swami Vivekananda, if we want to make ourstudents as a moral human being, school curriculum is oneof the best ways to serve this purpose. Because he thinkthat moral values can be inculcated among our studentsthrough a value based school curriculum. Therefore,Vivekananda suggested some important moral valueswhich should be included in our school curriculum.1. Unconditional Love and Kindness - In most cases,if you love someone, he or she will love you back in return.This, however, is not the real meaning of love. Love shouldbe unconditional. With more love in the world, kindnesswill follow and replace cruelty.2. Honesty - Students must be taught that dishonestyand cheating is wrong, and will get you nowhere in the future.As a student, one is only hurting himself or herself bycheating, because this action will eventually catch up toyou in the end with bad consequences.3. Hard Work - Nowadays, so many students want tocheat and cut corners in their studies, because they arelazy and don’t place any value on hard word. This thinkingmust change.4. Respect for Others - Unfortunately, in our highlycompetitive dog eat dog society; many people will tread onothers to get ahead in life. Respect for others should includerespecting different religions, races, sexes, ideas, and lifestyles.5. Co-operation - To achieve a common goal, it isnecessary for all people to work together. If this is not done,a few people may profit, but the end result for everyone will
be a failure. I still believe in the motto, “united we stand anddivided we fall.”6. Comp assion - Compassion is defined as beingsensitive to the needs of people. If there were morecompassion in the world, there would be less homeless,hunger, wars, and unhappiness.7. Forgiveness - Anger in most cases is caused byunwillingness to forgive. There would be less violence andfighting in school if students could learn this moral virtue.Role of Teachers in Imp arting V alue Education - OrdinaryTeachers can bring about extraordinary transformation inthe society. A teacher should practice what he preaches.Teachers are a role-model for the students. Their actionsconvey more than their words. Students learn values fromwhat the teachers are rather than from what they say.Teacher makes a maximum impact on the personality of astudent in the formative years. Students imbibe virtues andvices knowingly and unknowingly from theses role models.Teachers demonstrate the appropriate behavior of theirstudents by their actions. Teachers must have healthyattitude and should possess rich values. Teaching is allabout attitude-positive/ negative towards their job ofimparting quality education. Teacher should act as a friend,philosopher and guide. A teacher is not only a source ofinformation but is also a mentor and guardian. For thisteacher must respect the teaching profession, love hersubjects and students, Students will seek inspiration fromteachers who have high self-esteem. A decade back or sothe role of a teacher was limited to being a source ofinformation. But today this place is shared by books,coaching classes, multimedia technology etc. So the roleof a teacher is marginalized. Role of a teacher has increasedmanifold. In modern times we are experiencing transition.A teacher can maintain values and nurture them. A teacherhas an immense potential of bringing about a sea changein the society by demonstrating essential values of headand heart. Teacher can impart values in students by givingthem instructions through discussion, experimentation andlectures and by the following mentioned ways -l Teachers can maintain a case-study register to closely
observe the students and note down the positive andnegative traits of their personality.
l By organizing cultural and sports events values liketeam spirit, sharing, spirit of cooperation, patience,courtesy etc can be imparted.
l National and religious festivals must be celebrated tofoster a feeling of homogeneity.
l “Thought for the Day” should be employed inassemblies. Moral thoughts trigger in them moralthinking.
l Teachers should give importance to cooperativelearning.
l Skits, role plays propagating moral values can beperformed by students under the guidance of teacher.
l Teacher must tell the students to go to the libraries-the treasure house of knowledge. Classics available

in the library are morally rich and inspiring.l Teacher must explain the students the importance of
meditation& yoga practices for realization or theattainment of oneness with God.
l Every day a Teacher must spent at least 5 minutes onmoral lecturing.
l Impart knowledge of foreign languages to make themknow different cultures.
l Organize games, excursions, visits to places ofhistorical importance. Club activities like nature club,literary club, wildlife prevention club, social servicecamps, blood donation etc.
l Suicidal tendencies in students should be curbed. Theymust be prepared by the teacher to face the challengesof life fearlessly and with courage.The most important agent for building the character of
the student is a teacher. Swami Vivekananda says that“character is nothing but a bundle of habits formed throughrepeated acts. It comes through “Samskaras” or pastimpressions. Character building can change the nation. Asstrong foundation is required for a strong building, strongcharacter is required for nation-building.Conclusion - When a problem arises, it needs to berecognized, addressed and resolved. Instead of blamingpeople or institutions for the results of a lack of morality inschools, we should focus our efforts on finding ways ofsuccessfully implementing character education into schools.Changes have to occur in parents, legislators, communities,and the media and educational system so that children aretaught how to behave. Actualizing character educationprograms into schools is necessary in order to overcomethis nation’s crisis of character. Thus Teachers play animportant role in the nation building by character buildingof the students. The best and the greatest profession inthe world is that of a teacher, because the future of a nationdepends upon the type of teachers who shape the futuregenerations. Every teacher plays the most important rolein shaping the students as enlightened citizen. Swami
