A teacher has responsibilities not only towards students but also towards developing their institution and raising standards. A teacher should provide constructive suggestions for institutional development and act as a role model through dedication and motivation. Research shows a teacher's caliber has tremendous impact on students, so teachers must continuously update their knowledge and skills to develop core competencies in students. Teachers should impart universal values and participate in maintaining discipline on campus. They must also actively participate in faculty development programs to support the institution's development and their own academic growth.

2. SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITYAND
CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS
A teacher must be aware of his/her responsibilities not only towards the
students but also towards their institution. Along with their own
development one should try to learn and teach at the same time about
the various systematic developments that can be done so as to raise the
standards of their institution. Constructive suggestions and ideas can
ultimately lead to better surroundings and can help an institution or
organization to achieve their goals.

3. DEDICATION, COMMITMENT
AND MOTIVATION
Dedication and commitment of teachers plays a crucial role in
improving the quality of education and shaping the future of
nation.
A teacher should act as a motivational force and should be able
to create a learning environment in which students are
encouraged to think carefully, rationally and express their
thoughts and decide on the situations and difficulties. It is the
responsibility of teacher to create a context in which the students'
desire and ability to learn can work most effectively. A teacher
should act as the role model for the students.

4. IMPACT OF CALIBER AND SKILL
DEVELOPMENT
It has been revealed by many research studies that the caliber of teachers
has tremendous impact on the caliber of the students. Hence, a teacher,
who is a permanent learner has to update the subject knowledge
continuously and should be aware of latest development in their subject.
Preparing the students to achieve core competencies, to face the global
requirements successfully is very important. This requires that the teachers
should be innovative, creative and entrepreneurial in their approach, to
ensure skill development amongst the students.

5. IMPARTING VALUE BASED
EDUCATION
It is said that skills are of less importance in the absence of appropriate
value systems. Hence teachers should shoulder the responsibility of
inculcating the desirable value systems amongst the students. Whatever be
the pluralities and diversities that exist, there is ample scope for inculcating
the core universal values like truth and righteousness. The seeds of values
sown in the early stages of education, mostly aimed at cooperation and
mutual understanding, have to be reiterated and re-emphasized at the
higher educational institutions, through appropriate learning experiences
and opportunities.

6. PARTICIPATION FOR MAINTAINING
DISCIPLINE AND DECORUM IN THE
CAMPUS
Every person should understand that their responsibility for maintaining
discipline is not restricted to their respective classrooms, one should
also maintain the same in the campus too. Maintaining decorum,
strictness and discipline is required for a healthy environment at
institutions. Hence, it becomes a whole and sole duty of all the teachers
to tackle and resolve all the problematic elements arising at an
institution.

7. TO SUPPORT THE SYSTEM AND TO
PARTICIPATE IN DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS
Many institutions try for betterment of their teaching as well as non-
teaching staff by organizing several Faculty Development Programs,
Seminars, Conferences and workshops. So, it becomes a duty for all the
staff members to actively participate in each and every program and to
support such events. This support will ultimately allow spontaneous
development of the institute as well as the staff itself.

8. LATERAL THINKING
Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and
creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately
obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by
using only traditional step-by-step logic. Teacher should take
initiative to nurture and nourish the students to develop lateral
thinking.

9. USE OF RESOURCES
Efficient use of resources helps to produce uniquely
educated, highly satisfied and employable graduates.
Motivated teachers can enrich their teaching with resources
and co-curricular activities. Use of ICTs in teaching-
learning process makes the lecture effective and improves the
quality of teaching. Continuous updating of teaching
methods and use of innovative teaching methods help to
improve the quality of teaching

10. ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT
Teachers need continuous self-development to generate knowledge that
goes to contribute towards inculcating high professional competency among
students. Development of teachers depends on many factors. It is closely
linked with-
• The quality of research-Participation in national and international
seminars.
• Faculty exchange programs.
• Upgradation of qualifications.
• Exposure to recent developments.
• Writing of books and papers.
• Collaborating with fellow researchers in other higher education institute.
