Abstract: There has been an unprecedented expansion of school education especially in the developing countries like India, which has further accentuated a demand for teacher education. The demand for qualified and quality teachers has been continuously on the increase, the world over. Quite naturally, the teacher education programs have acquired renewed significance. It has become imperative that the effort and resources mobilized towards teacher education are effective and field relevant in particular country contexts. It is a pertinent expectation that the teacher education programs should reveal or exhibit vibrancy adequate for responding to the emerging perspectives and paradigms of school education and the teacher roles thereof. Institutions of teacher-education fulfill vital roles in the global communities; they have the potential to bring changes within educational systems that will shape the knowledge and skills of future generations. As education is unanimously looked upon as the major catalyst agent of creating a more sustainable development- oriented future, such concern has become an integral part of the processes and practices within our nation, making it mandatory for the students to gain meaningful, holistic experiences.
