Guru: need of Teacher:

MAHE believes that “true education comes only a real Guru who is inspirational teacher and true practitioner of values for life and who can cultivate minds of students to bring right conduct, right knowledge and human excellence in each child at their highest possibilities and best potential!”

A good teacher can’t be replaced by millions of computers!

Woman is the nucleus of Indian culture. She plays various roles such as mother, daughter, sister, wife, etc and in each role she plays, lies the welfare of the nation. Mother is regarded as the first Guru of the child. Next is educating teacher.

Most importantly teacher should become example by practicing these principles in your day to day life, so as to make him a responsible citizen. And at child education level, there must be some practical gurus or teachers for every school and every village. We need not wait to shift all the education system to gurukula system. We have to work transformation by making one teacher in every school with appropriate training for right person in existing teacher community.
