is only through education that not only the nation but also the society as well
as the individual development is possible. Education enables the individual to
live a better life and also make them influence others around them to live a
better life. So the best education should be provide to the students with more
and more learning experience which lead them from darkness of ignorance towards
the light of knowledge. The teacher should act as guide, as the facilitator,
and as the mentor for the students. “The teacher is the most important element
in any educational program. It is the teacher who is mainly responsible for
implementation of the educational process at any stage.” (NCTE, 1998). So that
teacher performance is the most crucial input in the field of education. As it
is said, “The destiny of India is being shaped in its classrooms.” and as the
population in India is growing very rapidly day by day the need of well
qualified and professionally trained teachers will also increase in the coming
years. So lots of efforts should be made to improve teacher education. Teacher
education programme includes pre-service training program given to
student-teacher and in-service training programme to the teacher-trainees. It

training. There are so many problems like professional aptitude, employment
issues, lack of facilities, lack of professionalism, lack of good practice in
teaching, less importance to teacher education program, lack of teaching
faculties, lack of proper guidance and supervision, etc. This paper highlights
