Teachers are role model to students.

They are treated as god for every student as in

India it is sacred thing to know from the early days. Role of a teacher is very formal.
After mother, it is only the teacher who takes care and educates children. A teacher who
facilitates education for an individual may also be described a tutor or may also be said
as governess.
Teachers are also needed to be trained before they train its students. Teachers have to
be knowledgeable enough so that they can relate many unknown or unexplored
thoughts in the world and provide wide things to its students. They are to be the most
important ones who are given for early childhood care, protection and duties. And here
Early Childhood Care is an opportunity to avoid or reduce developmental problems,
thereby bringing lasting benefits to individuals and society. Early years are crucial in the
formation of intelligence, personality and social behaviour. Children are born with
physical, social and psychological capacities which allow them to communicate, learn
and develop. If these capacities are not recognized and supported, they will never be
developed. Proper care at early age can do much to create an enabling environment
that ensures protection and support for more broad-based issues such as children's
health, nutrition, psycho-social and cognitive development. Early Childhood Care
stresses the importance of child-friendly, family-focused and community-based
programs that not only serve to strengthen ongoing social service programs, but
improve the physical and mental capacity of children. It can further help to modify
inequalities rooted in poverty as well as social, religious or gender discrimination.

For carrying wide knowledge and to help learn students many things teachers itself are
needed to be trained enough and thats why there are some courses that are being
provided and offered by many institutions where Mahatma Gandhi Institute of
Technology and Management is one of the well-known Institutions which is a Industrial
