guidance since teachers are the experts in their own specific
domain.

approached first for any given social, industrial, economical, natural
issues been happening around for seeking the reasons and
solutions to act upon.

aforementioned issues. To some extent in developing nations
professors working in tier –I educational institutions are consulted.
But the teachers working in Tier-II should now get into consultation.
• The hard earned knowledge and skills must be shared for the
benefit of society, industry and economy. And to make this earth a
better place to live for mankind.
