It is of great pleasure to me that our branded Institution is Accredited by NAAC with B++ Grade,during the Peer Team visit,of our College,scheduled on the 5th ,6th amd 7th February.2025..We are all at our earnest efforts to keep and sustain the present tempo of Excellence in all respects, in future years also..
The fundamentals of Ancient Education were focussed upon life related knowledge, personality development, self-responsibility, self discipline, vocational training, developing social outlook etc. Hence both the Formal and Informal Educations were encouraged in equal importance. The teachers and students were associated in more co-ordination with each other. Acquisition of Glittering Human Values was the real outcome of this kind of Education in those days; apart from developing skills, abilities, knowledge etc. The Teachers regarded Students as their own children and the students in turn gave them outstanding Respect (GURUBHAKTHI) .
In the present age of Technology, Knowledge (whatever it may be) is available at the click of a mouse. Change is the law of nature. It is inevitable, no doubt, the transition process from Ancient to Modern ( old to new) is actually changing the world .we are witnessing tremendous developments in the fields of Education and we call them as Modern Educational Systems. It may be titled as Educational Revolution like Green Revolution. Sitting on the bench of this Modernised System of Education, let us try to find out answers to the following questions.
We know that the Teaching-Learning Process is the core of Education ( both in the case of Ancient Education and Modern Eucation) Let us imagine, Education as a "Building". The Teaching-Learning Process is the Foundation, upon which all other related factors of Education, become, its Super Structure. Value Based Education is the need of the Hour to develop Students communities. Value Based Education helps to transform ordinary students to become more Responsible, Honest, Independent, Tolerant and Courageous, so as to equip them, for facing the challenges in the Modern Economy. It is also highly helpful to overcome the harmful side effects of western culture. The process of imparting values among students need not be mixed with any chapters of Curriculum. We need innocent Psychological Approaches, in this case.
Book Cantered Approach will not be fruitful.. The Interaction, Involvement and Communication of Teachers with students are very important. The Teachers must develop a positive culture within the Institution, especially in interacting with students. The teachers must be pleasant in Classes, while engaging syllabus . The teachers shoud Practice themselves first, what they Preach. The teacher should not Brand a student on any ground.. Efficient teachers are those who mould their students into an Exquisite Masterpiece of outstanding personalities by ensuring no damage caused to them. The values must be combined in practice, with Academics, Mental emotions and Spiritual needs of the students.
The students may be motivated to join for Yoga, Martial Arts,Sports,Cultural activities etc within the Institution. Such kind of practices will definitely help to develop values, such as Responsibility, Kindness, Hard work, Generosity, Honesty, Social Service, Empathy, Truthfulness, Courage etc.
MOTIVATION is another important force in the Teaching-Learing Process. Motivation occupies a Cardinal Position to get the desired outcome from the Teaching-Learning Process. Motivation makes the Learner energized ,to actively take part in the Learning Activity. Normally, students who are not motivated will not show any interest in their Studies. The most difficult task of becoming a Teacher or a Lecturer, is learning how to Motivate his/her students. There are no hard and fast rules in this case also. The teachers must undergo a self-workshop in analysing the different aspects of Self-Motivation (Intrinsic Motivation) and Motivation from outside Agencies (Extrinsic Motivation). These are the two sides of the same Coin. Both are co.rrelated and co-extensive in nature.. Anyhow, Self-Motivation is the basic force of Motivation Process. It may be rightly called as Achievement Motivation.. It is the corner stone of any kind of success in life. Assigning responsibilities, encouraging, praising, rewarding, recognizing, commenting positive feedbacK etc may be used as Motivational Tools as and when necessary.
Thus the Modern Educational System can be enriched with more Value additions and more Motivation additions, which in turn help to transform our Students to become outstanding personalties in the Society.
There is a beautiful saying by" William Butler Yeats “THE MIND IS NOT A VESSAL ,THAT NEEDS FILLING, but WOOD THAT NEEDS IGNITTING”
A Teacher should stand on the SIDE ,rather than a SAGE on the STAGE..
( To COACH,To MENTOR,To NURTURE and To INSPIRE the STUDENTS)
Wish you all an elegent new Academic Year.(2026-27)
