The teacher is the pre-requisite for the success of educational programmes. The main quality of teacher is the positive attitude towards education. Teaching is regarded as the noblest profession. It is therefore important that those individuals who join the teaching profession should be dedicated and competent in their work. A teacher can perform to the maximum of his capacity; if he/she is satisfied with his/her job.
