Why Knowledgeable faculties are never available at any level in India?
In smaller colleges , they are not existent.
In avg colleges, they hold non-teaching positions.
In better colleges , they are busy attending conferences.
Why?
No body can aspire to teach,because it is not credible.
[cannot quantify quality of delivery]
No body wants to do something which is not credible, hence not evaluated.
What needs to be changed?
We need a system to quantify Teachers which is not based on the amount of research they have done [no of research papers] but based on their teaching [not just the experience] including attributes like communication skills. And most importantly, attract young intellect to this field by introducing provision for fast progress with little regard to ‘experience’ (which also counts).

I feel, at different stages in a student’s life, his requirements from his teacher changes. As we grow older, the teacher should assume a role more of a mentor than a ‘teach’er.
