"The teaching learning process mainly depends upon the performance of the teachers. The teacher is expected to know the learner as well as the subject. The teacher also needs to be very resourceful in using the latest educational technology for teaching. He has to be sympathetic to the needs and aspirations of the students. He should be innovative and have rudimentary knowledge of research processes and action research." (jacket)
