Portrait of Indian College Teacher

The greatness of a country does not depend on lofty buildings and gigantic projects. It depends on teachers. The epithet “only a great teacher can mould a great student” portrays the role of teacher in shaping the young of today in to worthy citizens of tomorrow. The role and responsibilities of teachers have been multifarious, multidisciplinary and multidimensional. Gone are the days when teaching was the only responsibilities of teachers. They are required to evaluate students’ performance and achievement objectively and comprehensively for properly guiding their teaching-learning process. Hence, the portrait of Indian college teacher reflects that he/she plays four roles of friend, philosopher, mentor and guide.
