Teacher Educatin in India  India  INTRODUCTION 

"If you educate a boy, you educate one individual, If you educate a girl, you educate a teacher. If you educate a teacher, you educate a community" Dating back to the olden days, teachers as such were only the males from the Brahmin community and the shatriyas teaching the rich, but now the system is changed, we have female teachers also imparting the art of knowledge and skills. Down the lane, coming to the present the overall quality in education depends on the quality of teachers and that a sound program of  professional education of teachers is essential for imparting desired type of education. As FRANCIS BACON said," knowledge is power" implies that teaching is an art that can be acquired through a series of well- designed series of activities, its imperative, therefore due emphasis should be laid on the education of the teachers. DEFINITION 

¨According to the Dictionary of education-C.V. GOOD(1973), teacher education is defined as "all formal and informal activities and experiences that help to qualify a person to assume the responsibility as a member of the educational profession or to discharge his responsibility most effectively. ¨According to the Encyclopedia Of Educational Research(1941), Walter.S.Monroe, Walter.S.Monro e, defines teacher education as " The total education experiences which contribute to the preparation of a person but the term is completely employed to designate the program for the courses and other experiences offered by an educational institute for the announced purposes of preparing persons for teaching and other educational service and for contributing to their growth in competency for such service. Such teacher education programs are offered in teacher colleges, normal schools and colleges and universities. ¨ The Educational Commission (1964-1966) said, "a sound program of professional education of  teachers is essential for the qualitative improvement of education. Investment in teacher education can yield very rich dividends because the financial resources required are small when measured against the resulting improvement in the education of millions." ¨According to PASSI(1997)," Teacher education means programs of education, research or training of persons for equipping them to teach at primary, secondary, and senior secondary stages in schools and includes non-formal education, part time education, adult education and correspondence education.

Knowledge must be seen as a means of teacher empowerment rather than of gaining power .Hammond(1997) puts it 'empowerment must occur through knowledge rather than through new controls that would enfranchise teacher at the cost of others ,especially parents ,who have a deep interest in children learning and success.

Adult Education Education   Introduction  Democracy without education is meaningless. It is education and not freedom that makes a nation great but the situation as prevailing in our country in this respect is not only distressing but disgraceful. "A state may pass a law, making education compulsory but unless people accept such laws, no state can enforce them by military or police measures."

National security depends upon the education of citizens, their knowledge of affairs, their character and sense of  discipline and their ability to participate effectively in security measures" says kothari commission.

"It is the education of grown up men and women who are more than 18yrs old. Education for adults mainly those who could not get any formal education in the early days of their lives". According to Bryson "Adult education includes all activities with an educational purpose, carried on by people, in the ordinary business of life, who use only part of their energy to acquire intellectual equipment". According to Ernert Baker "Adult education is a course to be taken up concurrently with work  and the earning of living". It is to be given on part time basis. Purposes: 

Because of ever changing social condition the scope of education is also widening. Now it is not confined to literacy only but it has become a life long process. Kothari commission stated "Adult education is to provide every adult citizen with an opportunity for the education of the type which he wishes and which he should have for his personal enrichment, professional advancement and effective participation in social and political life".
