THE ROLE of a teacher is not limited to imparting education only. A teacher has a great responsibility to make his/her students responsible citizens so that they contribute in the socio-economic development. That is why a teacher is called a ‘nation builder.’ A teacher has to keep in mind his/her role towards the society and while teaching he/she has to behave with responsibility. One wrong word taught by a teacher can spoil the entire life of students. In the present era when politics and other elements have high influence in educational institutions, a teacher has to be more cautious and responsible. Besides teaching, a teacher has the responsibility to teach peace and love not hatred but unfortunately a teacher in Bhaderwah Degree College uttered such words in a class that it has created a law and order problem for the administration, which is very unfortunate. This is an awakening call for rest of the teaching community as well as the respectable citizens and peace lovers. Such teachers must learn the ethics of teaching, before joining this noble profession.
