Ar. Anoop Sharma
Preface: Teacher; beyond
doubt is the biggest so-
cial & mankind servant in many ways. Teacher is instrumental in shaping the careers of all of us irrespective how distinguished may be these careers are. Indeed, teachers all over the globe are not appreciated & felicitated the way they deserve.
Foundation: Dr. S. Radhakrishna, the 2nd president of India felt the need of honouring the selfless service of teaching fraternity. Being the philosophy scholar & teacher himself apart from the President of Indian republic, he is remembered as the founder of Teacher's day & the same is celebrated to felicitate the teaching community on 5th of September every year i.e. on the birth anniversary of Dr. S.Radhakrishna. Worldwide, teacher's day is celebrated on 5th October every year.
Teacher's day 2013 has made me to afresh my nostalgia of school days when we imitate our teacher's & used to teach the lower classes. It used to be a fun day when we were escaped from our teachers & the rigorous classes schedule as everybody feels in that age. But, in the process of teaching the lower classes on that particular day, the thrust of teaching -learning & the pleasure to transform the knowledge has peacefully occupied its place in depth of the soul. May be it is the contribution of teacher's day that many of us have realized & ultimately chosen this devoted service of outmost passion & dedication.
Issue & Prospects: We come across many teachers in our academic career particularly right from kindergarten to the University level studies & sometimes after that too. The role of the teacher has always been changing with the progress of the student from primary to the middle, the high school & so on this role comes along with greater obligation with each passing year in this comparative era. In the last 10-15 years, world has seen a greater explosion in terms of development, population & thus in competition. In present years of global recession, it is totally realized that it's the age of the best i.e the survival of the fittest. Consequently, the role of the teacher is demanded unprecedentedly. Its not all about finishing the text book or syllabi of the concerned subject but the obligations of 21st century teacher are going far far beyond. While we expect, the general etiquettes, conduct, subject knowledge in our wards through their teacher's predominantly yet career counselling has become the single largest domain of the present teacher's prime responsibility. So, present teacher ought to be the role model in this era. He/she must be competent enough to identify & distinguish the uniqueness of a person particularly at the primary level & then nurturing & motivating the same in the best possible manner.
On this day I request whole of teaching fraternity to look into the careers of their students carefully as their moral obligation with the vision of making the career of society in particular & country at large. A careful but competent, selfless & dedicated teacher (of any form) can do wonders for this society e.g. God of cricket -Sachin is of course the gift of his teacher- Sh. Ramakant Achrekar. Only he recognized the uniqueness of Sachin so he facilitated Sachin by giving him maximum chances of match exposure i.e. batting in multiple matches at the same time in case he falls cheaply in the one match & results are there in front of the whole world. Hence, Teacher's at the primary level shall have to contribute a lot for the fine cultured society of tomorrow. The role of the teacher has become more of a facilitator. With the varied avenues open in this era, it's not the age to force the learning upon students with the help of threat or stick i.e. students are the learners in modern set-up. The relevant portion, the applicable part these learners shall absorb from the facilitators as per their own interest & endeavours. Clearly, the versatile teaching from the facilitators is the requirement by pouring & nurturing varied talents. It's not impossible in this mechanized world with the latest ICT gadgets which can make teaching learning a far more interesting, simple & interactive one. This process must carry on in different intensities at higher learning's too. Conclusion: It's quite evident that a teacher so called a facilitator is the key to tomorrow in this competitive & professional world. We the teaching fraternity is extremely blessed to have got the chance & ecstasy of this biggest social & mankind service. As The faculty of Architecture i.e. being in a important professional career as far as society obligations are concerned, I take up this duty of teaching as if I am enhancing myself many prongs; for direct contribution to society; with each passing batch of students every year which would not have been possible in case I opted to practice alone in the field. On this teacher's day, I wish with our dedication, self-sincerity & hard work, we shall deliver at par with the prospects & trust invested in us from society, students (learners) & their parents. With the best wishes for prosperous tomorrow, I wish everybody including my teacher's a very Happy Teacher's Day.
