Introduction

India is an ancient country, the level of spirituality; cultural, philosophical, religiosity etc. of this country is so high that many countries of the world accept it without hesitation giving importance. Also, try to follow these points. Due to these characteristics of Bharatvarsh, many countries give respect to India as a spiritual master. So much importance has been given to Guru in Indian culture that Guru has been accepted as the source of human value. Because the Guru is the first step in the success of these life-form sadhanas. The Guru paves the way for the progress of his disciple through his good conduct, good behavior, good thoughts, teachings and moral conduct. Today society needs such education which can make all round development of human being employment oriented. So that the society and the country can be developed and dynamic. Secondary education is an important link in the present education system. This level of secondary education is such a platform. Which opens the way for taking admission in higher education on the one hand and for employment and livelihood on the other. Because in this education the goals of the nation are determined. The

prosperity, success and bright future of our country depends on secondary education.

In the process of exchange of education, the teacher has a prominent place. Teachers make tireless efforts in making the country a responsible citizen by making human beings the capital of human and culture.

According to the National Policy on Education (1986), the title of teacher reflects the social, cultural ethos of any society. Teacher is the real and dynamic force of school and education system and this is also true. All the things like school building, curriculum, co-curricular activities, text books etc. have an important place in the educational program, but unless vitality is given by good teachers, they will remain useless.

Only a teacher can give a liberal, gentle, courageous and patient youth to the country. The teacher can lay the foundation for the creation of new society, new nation and new India. Teachers should not only impart knowledge to the students but fill them with such a life that a good nation can emerge in front of everyone. It is very important for a teacher to have a policy and full of character. If the teacher is

characterless, unproven, lazy, alienated, or greedy, he will not be able to discharge his teaching values ​​or duties. He will not be able to interest the students in any situation. Students learn less from books and more from teachers. At present, the study of the reports of various newspapers or various governmental or non-governmental organizations shows that the teacher is not aware of the teaching work. In various schools, we get to hear the news of indecent behavior with the parents and parents of the teachers. These reports suggest that the teachers have deviated from their original path.

According to Dr. Radhakrishnan – “It is very important for the person and the country to be full of character”. Leaders in the state sector are successful even if they are not full of character. But the teacher should be character-oriented. The importance of salt in food is of such importance to the teacher. “

According to Rabindranath Tagore – The teacher is considered an important part of education. Just like the Kumbha fills with water and fire only ignites. In the same way, a human teacher creates a new consciousness in a student of human form.

A teacher’s personality should be very attractive. A good education is not possible without the influence of the teacher’s personality life. The imagination of the teacher’s developed personality depends on his intellectual ability and knowledge growth, balanced behavior, professional loyalty and attitude. Through the present research work, the researcher has tried to get the knowledge of the professional values ​​of the teachers.
