WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY: AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR OUR DEMOCRACY

NO PRISON IS BIG ENOUGH TO CONTAIN FREE SPEECH.” -MAZEN DARWISH

May 3, 2023 marks 30 whole years since the United Nations General Assembly signified it as “WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY.” The shape of media has changed a lot since its establishment.  A day celebrated to honor the work of journalists and the importance of the press around us.

This year’s theme as per UNESCO – “Shaping a future of rights: freedom of expression as the engine of other human right.”

STARTING FROM ITS ‘ORIGIN’

Whenever journalism has been in danger, it has always been a matter of concern. As without the press, our lives, as we know today, wouldn’t have been the same. Therefore, when after the frequent attacks during The African Civil Wars at the end of 20th century, on a lot of journalists, a similar concern was raised over there.

Therefore, in 1991, a gathering of a group of journalists in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, was held on encouraging “Independent and Pluralist press”. Leading to the creation of the “Windhoek Declaration” document laying a foundation for access of information as well as voicing of opinions for people everywhere.  A number of 63 people from 38 countries attended this.

Later in the year 1993, The UNESCO approved this idea and the UN General Assembly proclaimed May 3, as the “World Press Freedom Day.”

This day according to UNESCO is “A benchmark for ensuring press freedom around the world.”

WHY IS THIS DAY REMEMBERED AS OF SIGNIFICANCE

“FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, IF IT MEANS ANYTHING AT ALL, MEANS THE FREEDOM TO CRITICIZE AND OPPOSE.” -GEORGE ORWELL

The press, as we know today, is an important form of communication around the world. It’s as important as being considered as the 4th pillar of Democracy. This day is especially celebrated for the existence of press, especially print. As it is said, “The press works for the governed, and not the governors,” this is what connects us from those governing us. Press helps expose the crimes and tell us about the happenings around the world. The world as we know it today, is came to be known as a “Global Village.” Everything connected and known about.

This day is celebrated to increase the need to protect and understand the rights of the journalists, understanding the need for press, and promotion of free media. To serve this as the basic human right. This freedom of Press is really important in this modern day where everything can be bought off by the people of class. We live in a generation which speaks its mind.

So, on this day, each year, it is reminded to respect the journalists that work under extreme conditions to bring out news and all the different branches of press that provides us the whereabouts of the world and keep us connected. It tries to gain your attention to always help fight for the rights of the Press.

CELEBRATIONS ON THIS DAY

According to the UNESCO, from May 1-4, 40 events around The World Freedom Day will be held in the city of New York by the community including, universities, civil society organizations, media freedom networks etc.

WORLD PRESS FREEDOM INDEX: INDIA AND ITS RANKING

Media has spiked off in India with increasing awareness around every day. While our journalists have reached on to some spectacular heights and we have achieved a lot since media originated in our country, this year we see a major strip down from the World Press Freedom Index. With India slipping to rank 161 out of 180 this year. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) an international NGO, self-proclaimed to protect freedom of media, decides the global ranking of press freedom every year.

While we started with a strong quote, ending this year of “World Press Freedom Day”, with another strong quote by MK Gandhi- “Freedom of Press is a precious privilege that no country can forego.”

Respect the press, respect the freedom.

BAISAKHI- THE CELEBRATION OF CULTURE

India, the land of festivals and culture, embraces a lot of celebrations across different cultures as one. Baisakhi or Vaisakhi, is the foremost festival of celebrations for the Sikh community.

Celebrated every year, either on the 13th or 14th of April, Baisakhi marks a lot of accomplishments and new beginnings for the Sikhs as well as other communities as well. Baisakhi symbolizes the Sikh New Year. This is the sign of the start of the harvest season. This day also celebrates the establishment of the ‘KHALSA PANTH’ a community of Sikhs who adhered to the Principles of Sikhism.

So, this year let us read 5 facts about Baisakhi we didn’t know!

1. EMERGENCE OF THE WORD ‘BAISAKHI’

The second month of the Nanakshahi Calendar (Sikh calendar) called ‘BAISAKH’ meaning the harvest for New Year for the Sikh community is where the word ‘Baisakhi’ comes from.

2. BIRTH OF ‘KHALSA PANTH’

Khalsa refers to ‘being pure’. The tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh started this tradition of Khalsa to protect and honor innocent followers from religious oppression. It formulated new institutions and replaced the old ‘Guru’ system.’ The Khalsa Sikhs are given the titles of ‘Kaur’ meaning Princess and ‘Singh’ meaning Lion for females and males.

This started when the ninth Guru of the Sikhs and Guru Gobind Singh’s father were killed for not adopting Islam under the reign of Aurangzeb. Later his sons were also executed for doing the same. On April 1966, the Sikhs were asked to gather at Shri Anandpur Sahib by Guru Gobind Singh. And on the edge of a tent-pitched hill, he asked to step- forward someone, who was willing to sacrifice their head. He asked this five times, and every time, came out with a sword full of blood and the heads. They were called the ‘Panj Pyaare’ – Bhai Sahib Singh, Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh, and Bhai Daya Singh.

Guru Gobind Singh prepared ‘Amrit’ consisting of water and sugar in an iron bowl with the recitation of Gurbani to be directed to the ‘Panj Pyaare’ while quoting from the Adi Granth. This marked him as the sixth Khalsa. And he became Guru Gobind Singh from Guru Gobind Rai.

3. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE 5 Ks OF KHALSA

Guru Gobind Singh Ji established the 5Ks of Khalsa which included-
KESH- uncut hair
KANGHA- a wooden comb
KARA- iron/steel bracelet to be worn on the wrist.
KIRPAN- a sword
KACHERA- short breeches.

4. FOUNDATION OF THE ARYA SAMAJ

In 1875 Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayanand on the same day as Baisakhi which made this day embracing for the Hindu Community as well.

5. CELEBRATING BAISAKHI


Baisakhi is celebrated in the most fun and colorful way mostly in the Northern State of Punjab.
This celebration is initiated by dipping in lakes and ponds early in the morning, wearing new clothes, and joining the marches that go around the town singing religious songs, called the Nagar Kirtans. This is led by 5 Sikhs carrying their flags, ‘Nishan Sahib’ and the holy book ‘Guru Granth Sahib’.

The Sikhs also follow a tradition known as ‘Awat Pauni’ where the people gather around the wheat grown in winter for harvesting. They perform the traditional dance forms- ‘Bhangra’ and ‘Gidda’. The whole town is lit up with rangolis everywhere depicting their joy and pride towards the culture.

While, Baisakhi is a very important day for the embarkment of a journey for the Sikhs, as we read earlier about how India is the land of many cultures, April 14th is not only special for the Sikhs but a number of other communities as well.

The Hindu Goddess Jwalamukhi is also worshipped in Himachal Pradesh, and Sun God- Surya in Bihar with celebrations outside India as well.

Various New Years such as – Bohag Bihu (Assamese New Year), Poil Boshak (Bengali New Year), and Puthandu (Tamil New Year). It is also believed that thousands of years of Goddess Ganga descended on Earth, and for that reason, this day is extra special as well!

Everything You Need to Know About Sheetala Saptami

Sheetala Saptami is one of the most well-known Hindu festivals. Hindus observe Sheetala Saptami on (saptami) the seventh day of the month of Chaitra during Krishna Paksha which occurs seven days after Holi. This day is celebrated in honour of Goddess Shakti’s feminine power and incarnation, Goddess Sheetala who is believed to be the goddess of smallpox and other infectious diseases. People offer prayers and seek her blessings to avoid contracting diseases like chicken pox and smallpox to safeguard themselves and their families. Different cultures commemorate Sheetala Saptami (also known as Sheetala Satam in some regions and cultures) or Sheetala Ashtami (also known as Basoda in some regions and cultures), depending on whether it occurs seven days after Holi (Saptami) or eight days after Holi (Ashtami). We majorly celebrate Sheetala Saptami in Udaipur.

Significance and History of Sheetala Saptami:

Maa Sheetala, according to myth, is a manifestation of Goddess Parvati, who appeared during the Gods’ sacramental fire rite (Havan). One of the Goddess’s four hands is said to carry a dustpan, and the other is said to hold a broom, some dawning neem leaves, and a water pitcher. She travels in a mule. Although the first two depict cleanliness, the pitcher stresses the importance of clean water for all life on Earth, and neem is known for its therapeutic benefits. During the Havan, a bead of Lord Shiva’s sweat fell to the ground, and a demon known as Jwarasura (literally: Fever-demon) rose from the soil. Jwarasura is revered as the fever-deity who harmed humanity by dispersing illnesses throughout the globe. To beseech the Goddess to protect our families and ourselves from heat-related illnesses, we perform the Sheetala Saptami puja. It is widely believed that Goddess Sheetala aids in the prevention of infectious illnesses like measles, chickenpox, and smallpox.

Rituals of Sheetala Saptami:

– Devotees worship Sheetala Mata on this particular day and give prayers to her.

– Before the sun rises, people get up early and take a cold bath.

– After that, they go to the shrine of Goddess Sheetla to perform various rituals and puja and offer prayers to the deity in order to lead a happy, healthy, and peaceful life.

– The day of Sheetala Saptami is a day when devotees abstain from cooking and only consume food that has already been made the day before. On this specific day, eating hot, freshly baked food is strictly forbidden.

What Is Sheetala Saptami’s Importance?

Sheetala Saptami is an important festival in Hinduism, and holds great significance for devotees. Here are some of the reasons why this festival is considered important:

1. Worship of Goddess Sheetala: The Skanda Purana gives a detailed explanation of the significance of the Sheetala Saptami. According to the texts and Hindu mythology, Goddess Sheetala is an incarnation of Maa Parvati and Goddess Durga. The goddess Sheetala stands for nature’s ability to restore. The deity is worshipped and prayed to for protection against diseases like chicken pox and smallpox by devotees and their offspring on this auspicious day. Sheetala, when used literally, refers to cold or coolness.

2. Purification of the body and surroundings: The event also stresses the value of hygiene and cleanliness. To get rid of any bad karma and stop the spread of illness, people clean their homes and surroundings.

3. Observance of fast: Many devotees observe a fast on Sheetala Saptami to show their devotion and seek the blessings of the goddess. The fast is believed to cleanse the body and purify the mind.

4. Rituals and traditions: The “Kiriya” ritual and the offering of seven different kinds of grains and vegetables to the goddess are two rituals and customs connected to the celebration. These customs are thought to bring prosperity and shield people from illnesses.

5. Social significance: Sheetala Saptami is also an occasion for people to come together and celebrate as a community. People can show their gratitude for their blessings and deepen their bonds with friends and family during the festival.

6. Offering to Brahmins: In some regions, devotees offer food and donations to Brahmins as a part of the Sheetala Saptami celebrations.

A day of no cooking

The devotees refrain from eating any recently cooked food or hot or warm food throughout the day and don’t ignite any stoves in the kitchen.

According to the shastras (ancient principles), simple, non-spicy, cold food stored securely from the day before is advised to be consumed on this day as a digestive system relaxant. chilly is Sheetal. The Sheetala Mata vrat includes “sheetal” (cold, calming) food to soothe the stomach and provide it with simple-to-digest food.

A day before the celebration, people cooks oliya which is considered to be the most important food item and is also offered to goddess sheetala while performing the puja.

Due to the fact that Sheetala Saptami falls at the start of summer, which in many ways signifies the beginning of summer season and the change from spring to summer in a country like India, foods that are high in heat and seasonings only exacerbate bodily conditions and make digestion more challenging. People concur that basic food can be eaten for at least one day as a result and they usually eat food items like oliya, aaloo ki sabzi, panchkuta (ker sangari), puri, bhindi, and amchur.

Sheetala Saptami significance still remains strong today, as people have noticed that the belief also stays true to science.

Why Laser Hair Removal?

Traditional hair removal is time consuming and, in many cases, frustrating. Traditional methods of hair removal like waxing, shaving and tweezing are effective for removing hair, but only temporarily. LASER hair removal is effective, efficient and provides a long-term solution for getting rid of unwanted hair. LASER hair removal can be performed on any part of the body that has unwanted hair. Summing up the benefits of laser hair removal, we can conclude that it

  • is a permanent solution to unwanted hair
  • rejuvenates you skin
  • lightens pigmented areas
  • eliminates ingrown hair
  • offers results from the very first session
  • provides more youthful appearance

Here are some salient benefits of LASER hair removal

1. LASER Hair Removal is Quick

Laser hair removal treatments are much quicker than you may expect.

2. LASER Hair Removal is Economical and Saves Money

When you get laser hair removal treatments done, you eliminate the need for endless amounts of razors, shaving cream, waxing appointments, etc. Laser hair removal is financially smarter, takes less time and will give you an overall longer lasting result.

3. Eliminate Ingrown Hairs

It is the best solution to make sure you don’t suffer from a pesky ingrown hair and risk having to have it removed. It is also a great option for people who have sensitive skin and have skin irritation after shaving or waxing.

4. Time Saving

With laser hair removal, you no longer have to spend time shaving or going to appointments to get the hair waxed. You also don’t have to worry about making mistakes and missing spots anymore. You will have clean-shaven skin.

5. Always Look Silky and Smooth

Unlike with waxing, where you have to keep hair in between sessions for proper removal, LASER Hair Removal keeps you silky and smooth.

 

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs

  • What are the risks?

You can have laser hair removal treatment done over your lunch break, because there is no recovery time. The lasers do not remove skin, so there are very low risks.

  • Is It painful?

Laser hair removal with Soprano Titanium at Arth is painless.

  • How does the LASER remove the hair?

The lasers emit a light at a specific wavelength that will be absorbed by the pigment of the hair follicle without damaging the skin around it. The light is converted into heat energy, which then removes the hair follicle so that it will not produce more hair.

  • How many treatments are needed?

Typically, it will take six to eight treatments to achieve a full clear area, but there are certain people who only need four treatments.

  • How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Before having laser hair removal done, you should check with your doctor to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment. You should limit waxing, plucking and tweezing and electrolysis for six weeks before the treatment. The laser targets the roots of the hair, which are temporarily removed when you have them waxed or plucked.

  • Recovery

For the day or two after the treatment, your skin will look and feel sunburned. Moisturizers and cool compresses can help. Over the next month, the treated hair will fall out. Make sure to wear sunscreen for the following month to prevent temporary colour changes in the skin.

How ‘Rolling Hills’ redefined new-year party scenes in Udaipur? The founder answers!

All of us just embarked on the new journey of the year 2023 with resolutions, hopes, and to-do lists for this year. While all of us have our ways of welcoming a new year, a party comprising dance and music scenes is one of the best ways to begin a year on a celebratory note. Speaking of New Year’s Eve parties, ‘Rolling Hills’ is one event most of the ‘party-holics’ in town must have heard of.

Like its last four seasons, the ‘Rolling Hills’ concluded on a grand note, setting higher benchmarks for the next edition. We had a conversation with Dushyant Periwal, the man behind the idea of ‘Rolling Hills’, for a complete insight into the journey of ‘Rolling Hills’ as a pioneer of large-scale new year parties in Udaipur.

Dushyant Periwal
Dushyant Periwal: Founder & Chairman – WDNE, Curator of Rolling Hills

How did the idea of Rolling Hills begin?

We have been organizing large-scale New Year’s parties for almost a decade now. However, in 2018, we decided to gear up by commencing a dedicated, game-changing edition of the New Year’s Eve celebration to upscale the entertainment quotient and magnitude of the event. With this thought at the core, the idea of ‘Rolling Hills’ was born in 2018, which dwelled in the city’s largest music festival. The first edition of this ‘Rolling Hills’ music festival was held successfully in 2018, and since then, it has been a ‘never-look-behind’ experience for us.

How has the journey of Rolling Hills been to date?

The entire journey of Rolling Hills, since the first edition in 2018 and the most recent one in 2022, has only been an upscaling journey, with every edition becoming bigger and better with every passing year. The most recent one was the fifth edition of Rolling Hills, and it was the biggest one to date, amassing a jam-packed house at Royal Retreat resort.

How has Rolling Hills been instrumental in changing the party scenes in Udaipur?

Not long ago, Udaipur was known as a quaint little town, with little or negligible party scenes even on grand occasions like New Year’s Eve. With the venture of Rolling Hills, WDNE has been instrumental in uplifting the benchmarks of party culture, with every edition only becoming grander than the erstwhile edition. Apart from welcoming the residents of Udaipur, Rolling Hills also caught the attention of other cities of Rajasthan and nearby states, which has only added to the scale of the event.

What was this year’s edition of Rolling Hills all about?

The last edition in 2021 was graced by the presence of renowned DJ Aqeel. However, the 2022 edition just became a scaled-up event with ten artists putting up a two-day show at the Royal Retreat Resort. The lineup included DJ Lemon, DJ Nash, DJ Cyrus, DJ Tasnneem, DJ Hashtag, DJ Candice, BhuvIn, Mihir, DJ Veeshal and DJ Shilen Sharma.

We thank all these artists, along with the public gathered, for making this two-day fest a memorable experience while looking forward to the 2023 edition.

Understanding Stress in Life and at Work: Myths, Facts and Means of Walking out of it.

Introduction

Stress in the context of organizational psychology has been defined “as a dynamic condition in which an individual is confronted with an opportunity, demand, or resource related to what the individual desires and for which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important.” (Luthans, 2007). An expansion of the last definition brings us to some important questions. What is stress? Is organizational stress different from daily life stress? Can we weave a life for ourselves where we are so-called stress-free? How to know that one is unable to cope with stress? In what ways does stress dampen sexual behaviour and experiences? This article makes an attempt to answer some of these questions.

What exactly is Stress?

Understanding Stress

To put simply, stress is a condition or unpleasant feeling experienced when a person perceives that the ‘demands’ faced by an individual exceed the personal and social resources that one has to deal with it. During stress, one may feel strained by “physical, mental, or emotional tension” (American institute of stress, 2021). Some amount of stress is known to enable us in moving towards our desirable goal, be it personal or professional. It sort of sets us in a momentum for change and adaptation which is healthy for everyone.

However, stress has a setup point, pretty much like the boiling point of water. Beyond that set point, it leads to clinically significant physiological and psychological outcomes. This set-point varies from person to person. The stress hormones pumping through our body usually encourage us to either fight or flight or freeze to cope with the overload. It depletes one’s healthy emotional reserves and definitely impacts sexual behaviour as well. High-stress hormones floating in our body don’t leave much room for closeness with our partners, and slowly but surely, the sexual interest, intimacy, desires and involvement starts to wither away. Another rare manifestation of acute stress in some people may be uncontrollable hypersexuality as a compensatory mechanism to seek relieves stress, coupled with low sexual satisfaction, distress and guilt. Hypersexuality shows up as ‘recurring and uncontrollable sexual fantasies’ and leads to difficulty in establishing and maintaining a relationship with a stable romantic partner because of their preoccupation with sex. It may sometimes also lead to promiscuity and infidelity in relationships. Not only sexual but other social, interpersonal and psychological behaviours may also alter due to stress. So when one is stressed out, it may be hard for a person to deal with anything other than self or the source of stress.

Stressors impacting sexual functioning may be of two kinds:

a) Major life events i.e., death of a loved one, separation, loss of job /bankruptcy etc.

b) Minor daily life events which are in the form of an ‘accumulation of small stressors’ that are constantly or frequently present, such as deadlines that never seem to be met, constant arguments with a partner, financial risks etc.

Researchers opine that it is these ‘daily hassles’, and not ‘major life events, that were more linked to sexual difficulties (Kanner,1981). The negative interaction between chronic stress and sexual functioning may extend to reproductive functioning, fecundability and fertility in both men and women. These factors taken together as a whole may lower the quality of life and sexual and relational satisfaction.

It is a common myth that “stress should be eradicated from our lives, all together”.  It’s not so. Stress appears to be a normal aspect and to an extent a healthy and evitable part of one’s life. It can lead to healthy self-growth as well. Learning ways to cope with it i.e., to “modify its magnitude and multi-system effects or become resilient to it” would be more a realistic ideology.

The sources of stress can be numerous. In the organizational context, work stress may be attributed to factors such as Intrinsic job requirements (work pattern, timing, duration, pressure, shift, new challenges), structure (physical space, climate, temperature, discomfort, consistency, transfers),  job roles (transitions, conflicts, poor differentiation of roles, ambiguity, unpredictability), growth (lack of opportunities, security, promotions, incentives, recognition, perks), interpersonal relations (with authority, peers, juniors, in teams, communication styles, responsibility allocation/taking, coordination, political, threat, domination) and intrapersonal factors (personality, temperament, belief systems, cognitive style, stereotypes, socio-cultural, developmental etc) (Luthans, 2007). In the latter context, organizational stress may take the form of daily stressors, interacting in complex fashions within a person.

How one responds to stress is an interesting variable. Just like sources of Stress, a person’s response to stress too can be acute or chronic. Acute Stress-induced ‘fight or flight or freeze reactions help to defend and built immediate protective strategies against problems. Our body takes about 90 minutes for the metabolism to return to normal. This is only when the acute response is over. The mind may still keep responding to ‘what happened to me, how and why for much longer periods of time.

Sometimes stress becomes ongoing and evolves into chronic stress. Longstanding uncontrolled stress has the opposite effect. It causes significant wear and tears to several systems such as respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrinal, Musculoskeletal, neurological, dermatological, immunological, sexual and reproductive etc.  Some of the bio-behavioural outcomes of stress may be persistent or progressive complaints of headaches, fatigability, insomnia, lethargies, worsening of psychosomatic illnesses, irritability, anger, anxiety, depression, loneliness, frustration, emptiness, avoidance, lack of enthusiasm, self-negligence,   unworthiness, hopelessness, helplessness, vulnerability, worrying, crying spells, death wishes, recourse into addictive behaviours, digital addictions,  interpersonal dissatisfactions, emotional outbursts, sexual dysfunctions and frequent relational disputes.

Stress response at a psychological level keeps evolving as we grow, with both new learning and experiences. It can be easily unlearnt and re-learnt. This means that, once we get aware of our maladaptive behaviours, we can unlearn them and turn towards more adaptive as well as healthy means of coping. A healthy stress response aids in building psychological resilience and physical recovery. It helps the biological capacity to cope with a cascade of acute and chronic stress effects.

How to Cope With Stress?

How to cope with stress

Some of the easy ways of coping with stress could be:

  • Firstly, working on personal loopholes, avoidance, minimization, excessive blaming, fantasies and denial of real issues.
  • Secondly, set some time aside each day for an unbiased self-reflective practice. The idea for the same becomes identifying one’s agendas, sources, intensity and outcomes of stress and checking effective or ineffective means of dealing with it. One may take help from trustworthy peers, friends, mentors, parents, and spouses, to do the same.
  • Third could be building healthy boundaries from stress and preventing oneself from overbooking.
  • Another strategy is balancing circadian rhythm disturbances by adopting healthy eating, adequate hygiene, grooming, dressing, nutrition, hydration, a combination of physical exercises, and relaxing and healthy sleep regimens.

Additionally, de-cluttering the mind may help. It involves re-organizing ones living environment to have a clean, fresh, arranged, aerated physical space, journalizing one’s experiences, ditching technology and reducing screen time and substituting it with other joyous activities. At times going minimalistic on self/others’ demands and doing “nothing at all” for a while also can be really helpful. Reconnecting with nature via soothing activities can also have an excellent mood-regulating effect.

Needless to say, if stress-induced symptoms are continuous for two to three weeks and are significant to cause distress or disturbances in one’s interpersonal, intimate life or socio-occupational activities, then this is a red-light situation. It warrants a general medical check-up and psychological evaluation.

In the words of the popular American author and psychotherapist Richard Carlson, “Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness”. It is probably less stigmatizing and illusionary to disclose oneself as “stressed or worked up” and resort to cures for the same. Any situation/event can be the starting point of a new journey and opportunity. Seizing it can open the path to transformative growth for any individual.

अध्यापक की भूमिका क्या बस अध्यापन तक सीमित है?

अध्यापक प्रसन्न मुद्रा में, छात्र भी प्रसन्नचित्त, अध्यापक गंभीर मुद्रा में, छात्र भी गंभीर व सहमे हुए। यानी अध्यापक का प्रतिबिंब छात्रों में देखा जा सकता है।

अध्यापक का कार्य अध्यापन तक सीमित नहीं है बल्कि वह बालक के भविष्य का निर्माता है। निश्चित ही पहला दायित्व अध्यापन है। अध्यापक की अपने विषय पर अच्छी पकड़ होनी चाहिए। निरंतर अध्ययन कर स्वयं को अपडेट रखना चाहिए। कोई भी विषय क्यों ना हो भाषा के साथ समझौता नहीं किया जा सकता है, भाषा संबंधी अशुद्धियों की शिक्षण व्यवसाय में कोई छूट नहीं है।भाषा सभी संप्रेक्षण का मूलभूत माध्यम है,भाषा बिना सारे विषय अधूरे हैं।

अध्यापन के लिए उसे नित नए नवाचार व प्रयोग करते रहना चाहिए। विभिन्न बौद्धिक स्तर, विभिन्न सांस्कृतिक व सामाजिक पृष्ठभूमि के बालकों को एक साथ समाहित करना आसान काम नहीं है। ऐसे रास्ते खोजने होंगे जिसमें हर बालक अधिगम प्रक्रिया में आगे बढ़ सके, खासतौर पर प्रथम पीढ़ी अधिगमकर्ता जिन के समक्ष कई चुनौतियां हैं जैसे भाषाई अवरोध, अनियमित उपस्थिति, शिक्षा विहीन पृष्ठभूमि, भिन्न सांस्कृतिक-सामाजिक पृष्ठभूमि, निम्न आर्थिक स्थिति तथा सहपाठियों का असहयोग। इस वर्ग  के छात्रों के साथ न्याय करना आवश्यक है।

किसी प्रकार का नकारात्मक व्यवहार (डांट या पीटना या अशब्द बोलना) स्थिति को और बदतर कर सकती है और छात्रों के विद्यालय छोड़ने की प्रवृत्ति बढ़ सकती है। इन दिनों अध्यापक द्वारा शारीरिक व मानसिक प्रताड़ना के केस निरंतर बढ़ रहे हैं जबकि आरटीई एक्ट धारा-17 या सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेशानुसार जारी शिक्षा विभाग के परिपत्र के तहत शारीरिक दंड पर पूर्णरूपेण रोक है इसके बावजूद  तकरीबन हर विद्यालय में छड़ी लेकर घूमते शिक्षक नजर आ जाएंगे। सवाल यह है कि शिक्षक को इस छड़ी को रखने की आवश्यकता क्यों है। क्या स्नेह से बच्चों को अनुशासित नहीं किया जा सकता है?

राजस्थान के शिक्षा मंत्री का यह बयान कि समय-समय पर शिक्षकों को खेल-खेल में शिक्षा तथा आनंददायी शिक्षा का प्रशिक्षण दिया जाता है, इसकी हकीकत यह है कि सरकारी विद्यालयों में यह दो पर्सेंट कक्षाओं में भी प्रतिबिंबित नहीं हो रहा है। बच्चों को खेल खूब पसंद होते हैं, यदि खेल द्वारा शिक्षण करवाया जाता है तो कोई कारण नहीं कि बच्चे अधिगम में रुचि न  लें या कक्षा में ध्यान ना दें। पिटाई जैसे कृत्यों की नौबत ही नहीं आएगी। यानी अध्यापन कार्य रोचक और आनंददायी  होने पर कई समस्याएं स्वत ही समाप्त हो जाती हैं।

अध्यापक की भूमिका में एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका शिक्षार्थियों के चरित्र निर्माण की है। यह तभी संभव है जब अध्यापक का स्वयं का चरित्र आदर्शतम व मूल्य उच्च हो। अध्यापक के शब्दों व व्यक्तित्व में समरसता होने चाहिए। छात्र अध्यापक से अनौपचारिक रूप से बहुत कुछ सीखते हैं। छात्र अध्यापक का बारीकी से अवलोकन करते हैं, उनके पहनावे को, कार्य करने के तरीके को, संप्रेक्षण के तरीके को, अपने में उतारते हैं। अतः अध्यापक का अपने हर व्यवहार के प्रति सचेत रहना चाहिए। यदि अध्यापक ब्लैक बोर्ड पर टेढ़ा-मेढ़ा, ऊपर-नीचे, अव्यवस्थित लिखता है यही स्थिति छात्रों की कॉपी में देखी जा सकती है। अध्यापक चुस्त-दुरुस्त है तो कक्षा के सभी बच्चों में वही ऊर्जा संचरित होती देखी जा सकती है। मूल्य शब्दों से नहीं बल्कि अध्यापक के व्यक्तित्व से बच्चों में उतरते हैं ।अध्यापक में धैर्य व कठिनाइयों से जूझने की क्षमता होनी चाहिए तभी वह अपने छात्रों में इन गुणों का विकास कर सकता है। आज के छात्रों में न धैर्य है ना समस्याओं से जूझने की क्षमता, यही कारण है कि छोटे-छोटे व्यवधानों से टूट जाते हैं। आत्महत्याओं का बढ़ता ग्राफ भी इसी ओर इशारा करता है।

इससे जुड़ा एक और दायित्व है, अध्यापक को परामर्श की मूलभूत समझ होनी चाहिए। बच्चा गुमसुम है, उदास है या अत्यधिक आक्रमक व्यवहार करता है तो बजाय उसे दंडित करने के उसके इस व्यवहार के तह में जाने की जरूरत है। किसी प्रकार के असामान्य व्यवहार के निश्चित ही कारण होते हैं, ऐसे व्यवहारों के प्रति समय रहते ध्यान न देने या नकारात्मक व्यवहार से लक्षण उग्र होते चले जाते हैं जो परिवार व समाज के लिए घातक साबित होते हैं।

शिक्षण एक बहुत ही पवित्र कार्य है, इस की गरिमा बनी रहनी चाहिए। शिक्षक बनना इतना आसान भी नहीं होना चाहिए कि इसे अंतिम विकल्प के रूप में लेने के रास्ते खुले रहें। शिक्षक बनने के लिए आयोजित प्रवेश परीक्षाओं का स्तर इतना चुनौतीपूर्ण तो होना ही चाहिए कि सिर्फ उन्हीं को प्रवेश मिले जिसमें अध्यापक बनने के गुण मौजूद हैं।
