Dear Readers,
It is a good news, to all those who are pro-developmental in attitude, that by a way of expanding IIT umbrella, new opportunities are being open up to citizens of India. It is patinent to wish that quality of education by a way of delay in recruitment of abled teachers is not at stake. Teaching is the unique art and passion anly few people have. As Dr. Abdul kalam, a pssionate teacher, says “Teacher derieve pleasure in giving. Therefore, in addition to other qualifications teaching skill, attitude and pasion for teaching should be the criteria.
