Education is the spark of illumination of life. It assumes a prominent role in the lives of human beings by empowering them with various abilities, skills, and competencies that ensure enhanced quality of life. Also, education is the ability to face life’s situations, a character-building process, making them rational, capable and responsive. Thus, a teacher has to face enormous challenges and equally play different roles as a professional and as an administrator. Effective teaching and efficient learning are considered the vital factors of success in academia. Conventionally, a teacher brings subject expertise and knowledge of teaching methods to the classroom that is of absolute value to the learners/students. Higher/technical education is pivotal for developing a modern economy, building a dynamic society and promoting a right style of leadership. It meets the market demands and equips the students with ample opportunity across the globe through education and employment. Human resource capital is considered one of the essential factors for achieving organizational goals and objectives (Mosadragh, 2003). Thus, it is very prompt to address the issue of faculty (teachers) work engagement and its impact on technical institutes in Arunachal Pradesh. As can be noted from the records, that the educational sector in Arunachal Pradesh is growing and blooming in the recent past, that needs to be managed for real-time sustainability and competitive edge. Bakker et al., (2008), brought out that employees those who are engaged are more willing to travel the extra mile, in addition to being highly creative and productive. Also, work engagement strongly related to creativity and promote transformational leadership – being able to coaching, stimulating and inspiring (Bakker et al., 2006). Work engagement, improved by stimulating jobs with much resources that results in positive organizational outcomes (Schaufeli, 2012). According to Chigetai and Zafar (2006), it is essential to nurture organizational commitment among the employees. As they likely to be highly absorbed in place of work, perform better than the poorly committed employees, and they stay longer with the organization. The present study has 310 participants, randomly selected from the technical institutes of North-east India, to measure, validate and confirm Utech Work Engagement Scale (UWES) among the teachers of technical institutes along with their demographic characteristics, with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).
