Column from President

Education is essential for all-round development of a nation. It is very much like a pill to cure the ills of society. Spreads of education in various strata of society and to make education effective, adequate number of trained teacher are essential. What we see in present situation is that number of students from different walks of life is gradually on increase. They require to be educationally nourished. Again educational nourishment depends on scientific and efficient delivery of lessons by teachers trained in that direction. But the fact is that the number of trained teachers is not enough to cope with the situation. As such in view of the growing need of trained teachers, setting up of teacher-training institute is necessary.

In such an educational scenario we took initiative to set up a B Ed college on self-financing basis at Saltora (Po- Saltora, Dist- Bankura, West Bengal) to provide teacher training facilities to the existing as well as would be teachers. We have affiliation from the University of Burdwan and reorganization from N.C.T.E for our B Ed College. In addition to this we have in our mind to set up elementary and other teacher-training institute in the future. We hope to have all kinds of assistance from the education loving people that will make our effort successful.

Wish a good luck to all.
