Indian tradition equates the teacher to god, as the Sanskrit hymn goes "acharya devo bhava". There is no denying the fact that the role of a teacher in a student's life is very crucial right from the time when a child joins a day care centre to the stage when he/she takes a step forward towards establishing a professional career.

The early growing years in a child's life are the most crucial and lay the foundation for developing their nature, personality and the individual self. It has been rightly said that 'children are the future of any country' and teachers play an important role in shaping their bright future. No doubt we can say that they are the building blocks, nay, the DNAs of our lives!
