Teaching is the noblest task of educating, empowering and elevating the young talents to transform them into the most valuable asset of a nation. In this process, empowering the teachers will foster their job satisfaction and the only satisfied teacher can deliver his best potential for the cause. Job satisfaction has a direct nexus to increased productivity, reduced work stress and absenteeism.
