Abstract:

Education is a strong weapon through which we can change our world. This is Education which assists us to get our desired objectives set up by us due to our needs. Progressive development is our fundamental characteristics. Education guides us on a progressive and developmental ways. Thus, we can understand the importance of Education for our lives. India is enshrined as ‘Vishva Guru’ due to its perennial humane identity of Education and its profounder the Teachers give us all eternal pleasure. But this scenario becomes topsy-turvy after we got independence. There was only about 12% literacy in our country just after the independence. This was a challenging condition accepting which we made a provision as Article-45 in Indian Constitution through which we made target to achieve the universal literacy by 1960. Although a number of Commissions and Committees coming on front to reshape the futuristic Education of teachers in India but it fail to respond to the vulnerable system. Recently a number of agencies have been created to tap all the evils of TE system through conventional mode as well as through ODL. But the country is unable to reap out the best. Neither TEIs nor the education recipient at different levels come across the silver living of quality education in India. In 1993, Parekh Committee and in 1994 Lyngdoh Committee was organized to provide guidelines and evaluate the B.Ed. Distance Education Programme. Das Committee (1994) and Takwale Committee (1995) were also constituted to reevaluate to Distance B.Ed. Programme. These committees always try to maintain the quality of teachers. NCTE Norms and Regulation 2014 tries to maintain this. For maintaining the quality of teachers policy initiatives are always need to criticize.
