On October 5th WORLD TEACHER'S DAY was celebrated through out the world. Teaching is a profession for which dedication and honesty are the most required rather than degrees and experience. Teacher are the second parents and they should shoulder the responsibility of making the students a responsible citizen of the country.
In Sanskrit Literature there are occasion where the role of teachers are discussed and directed to follow certain rules and code of conduct when being a teacher.
Starting from Gurukulas to present day E-techno schools, the teachers responsibilities and duties remain same. But the way they are being carried out varies at different stages. The teachers are the ones who need to inculcate morals, ethics and discipline in students without any compromise. For this Kalidasa suggest that a teacher should be the one who has:
यस्योभयं साधु स शिक्षकाणां धुरि
प्रतिष्ठापयितव्य एव॥ (16-I Act)
(This sloka from Malavikagnimitram a Sanskrit play written by the
Great Poet Kalidasa) “With some persons the practice of an art by
themselves is excellent; With others the imparting of instruction takes the predominance. He alone ought to be placed in the forefront
of teachers, in whom both are good”
