Education opens up the heart and mind of the young and the old alike
so that one can communicate and live in harmony and peace. Mahatma
Gandhi advocated for an education system, which leads to self-reliance,
self-control and dignity of labor, which was consistent with our
Vedic philosophy where-in emphasis, was always on the search for
truth. Falsehood to truth; darkness to light; death to immortality,
these words have become insignia and watchwords for many an institutions
of higher learning.
Academic
institutions are true temples of learning to serve humanity through
knowledge, wisdom and values bearing the imprint of both religion
and society. While the role of Gurus was to impart quality and up-to-date
knowledge to the disciples to make them Arjun or Ram, the Rishis
were mainly involved in R&D for devising methodology for artificial
rains, weaponry, non-destructive clothing, beautiful carving of
cities etc. While modern scientists have developed a strong faith
in wheel-the moving spirit, the old rishis were having strong faith
in the arrow-the well-directed spirit. The strong faith and commitment,
which we had in our teachers, may be relevant to the time, but,
without reincarnation of another faith, equally strong, will it
be good for the education system. The borrowed education system,
from the British, needs to be re-examined in the light of our rich
educational heritage.
A teacher
has FOUR main roles to perform, i.e., (i) as an innovative and creative
lecturer, filled with wide outlook, full of examples, creative and
a visionary, (ii) is to create new knowledge by carrying out research
and developmental activities inside and outside the laboratory.
Research is not limited to some scientific experiments, it involves
mental exercise to create new thought for action, (iii) very important
role, is to be the guide; to help a student in his over all development;
to make him enterprising, innovative and creative; to show him the
path of success; to help him so that he is able to set a realistic
goal for himself, achievable goal, and in setting next higher goal
and, (iv) role of teacher is to be a producer, a quality producer,
a good manager, and not only an innovative manager of man, machines
and resources but also creator of material resources for self and
others.
Indeed, it
is often difficult for a teacher to perform all the four roles with
equal aplomb, until one has the freedom of designing and developing
the courses, a free hand in the development of infrastructure, selection
of candidates and finally in planning and conduct of examination.
A lot needs to be done in this area and there is a need to introspect.
In this context, the field of teachers training has always been
an important area of studies and research in order to provide trained
teachers Thus, the emphasis of the Institute is to provide courses
of study and research in the field of teachers training aimed at
training the prospective trainers and educators.
