THE ROLE OF A TEACHER BEGINS WHEN EVERY THING FAILS AND LIGHT IS REQUIRED(

THE TEACHERS DAY 2016 IN INDIA : THE ROLE OF A TEACHER BEGINS WHEN EVERY THING FAILS AND LIGHT IS REQUIRED(DR ZAKIR HUSAIN,FORMER PRESIDENT ).
It is the intellectual brand of any society which paves ways for its growth. Teacher too fall in this class along with scientists, jurists ,lawyers, varsity professors, writers, authors, poets and now journalists in a free country, artists and army. All cannot be one and the same. To me a teacher is one who does not suffer from the two complexes; inferiority and arrogance. Anger is no more his master. The stick/caning is the gun of the weak. Immorality has no room in this profession .They can neither reform nor transform .Students refuse to learn even from their scholarship. The words of teachers and more of their good conduct inspire the students. I had great teachers. If I had a camera to catch images of minds to record their face, physique and faculty, I could have shown them to you today to envy .
The profession is challenging and very difficult. I have seen post graduate teachers dictating their students on papers abuses against their officers and colleagues to dispatch by post. I have seen principals black mailing their teachers under them and inciting them against their colleagues. I caught their anonymous letters got written by them to their bosses. The whole of life such men centers on such actions. Within these one must learn to resolve and perform .
 I have seen animal dung thrown on their doors by students in nights against teachers who terrorize their students.  I have seen and caught professors to dictate question papers to their beloved students well before exam. I have seen teachers hitting around the small kids belly by the cord of weaved electric wires in the name of discipline. Dr Zakir Husain former President used to say that the role of a teacher begins when everything fails and light is required. The teachers do not live by bread alone.
I must have repented if I had not retired as one among Teachers? Joining, working for decades and retiring from one of units (#AEES) Mumbai of #Department of Atomic Energy Government of India will always remembered by me. It was rewarding to be one of the highest corrupt free family units in the same India which suffer from this evil.
It is due to the patronage and administrative guardianship of DAE unit chiefs, the quality of life , crunch of necessary requirements , finance and innovations in education were never felt. The company of scientists, leaders of top ranking officers and interactions with all them put us on high pedestals. Ours were day schools but imagine the company our children with their children, their wives and the whole of colony life , living and service facilities.
My working in different back grounds; government offices, private industries, private schools ,sainik school ,university, the teachers training colleges before and after retirement in south ,social fields , politics etc. forces me  to reiterate that DAE Schools have produced world class citizens ,leaders ,officers and so on because these schools have an army of excellent teacher by and large to lay the basic foundation in them .The forums of their reforms and transformations are inbuilt of DAE Units all over. The credit goes to the Chairmen of Atomic Energy commission since it came in to existence.
