Students look up to him with faith and hope to seek his guidance. Teacher can guide the whole generation through his versatile personality. Dr. Radhakrishnan and Ravindranath Tagore are modern examples of great teachers who influenced this country with their philosophy. If good ideas and values are to be perpetuated and inculcated in the younger generation, they must come from the mouth of teachers in their classes at all the levels of education.Like a unit of money which circulates and has multiple effects in economy, teacher also multiplies his influence among students who come in his contact year in and year out with a few hundred students every year, he will have a life long impact on thousands of them during the period of his service before retires.

Teachers reveal the direction and the goal, where as students lay the road and journey into the future. So teachers play a significant role in moulding the future of the country.
