1.0 INTRODUCTION Historically, teachers played a vital role in shaping the destiny of society and promoting the causes of peace in different classes. In ancient India, 'Teacher' or 'Guru' was called a spiritual leader and was looked upon as an ideal in the society. He was the leader of the society and even a 'King' came to him for guidance. The teacher should be a sheet anchor to society amidst the tumult of social change. 'Being a teacher', he is to be a change agent transforming ideas into ideals and ideals into institutions which may spread the light of knowledge and wisdom into eternity. It is the teacher who helps to transform an individual into a person of imagination, wisdom, human-love and enlightenment; the institutions into lamp-posts for posterity; and the country into a learning society. It is fortunate for us to have been born in a country of great teachers like Mahaveer, Buddha, Shankara, Ramanuja and Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the father of Indian nation.

1.1 INTRODUCTION Education is the most powerful instrument to bring desirable changes in the students and the teacher is a change agent in the whole the process of education who prepares or trains the future generation to meet the challenges of modern society. Education helps in directing a person to do right things at right time at right place which makes more productive individual as well as the society. The future of the nation depends upon the quality of education. According to United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO, 2004), “The purpose of education is to ensure that all pupils acquires the knowledge, skills and values necessary for the cognitive development of learners to nurture the creative and emotional growth of learners, to oppose discrimination against any particular group in any manner or, in other words, leads towards and equitable society.” Language plays an important role for the transaction of knowledge through teaching learning process. “Language as a vehicle of communication is very crucial on the process of education it is through language that everything is taught and learnt in a majority of teaching learning including the classroom.”

1.1 INTRODUCTION The world in which we live is changing rapidly and the field of education is experiencing these changes in particular as it applies to Media Services. The old days of an educational institution having an isolated audio-visual department are long gone! The growth in use of multimedia within the education sector has accelerated in recent years. It looks set for continued expansion in the future. Teachers primarily require access to learning resources, which can support concept development by learners in a variety of ways to meet individual learning needs. The development of multimedia technologies for learning offers new ways in which learning can take place in school and the home. Enabling teachers to have access to multimedia learning resources, which support constructive concept development, allows the teacher to focus more on being a facilitator of learning while working with individual student. Extending the use of multimedia learning resources to the home represents an educational opportunity with the potential to improve student learning. The elements used in multimedia have all existed before. Multimedia simply combines these elements into a powerful new tool, especially in the hands of teachers and students. Interactive multimedia weaves five basic types of media into the learning environment: text, video, sound, graphics and animation. Since the mode of learning is interactive and not linear, a student or teacher can choose what to investigate next. For example, one does not start on the first page of a linear document and read to the end. Interactive multimedia learning mode is more like constructing a spider’s web, with one idea linked to another, allowing choices in the learner’s path.

1.0. INTRODUCTION Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Political economy was the earlier name for the subject, but economists in the late 19th century suggested "economics" as a shorter term for "economic science" that also avoided a narrow political-interest connotation and as similar in form to "mathematics", "ethics", and so forth. Everyone is a part of economy and everyone uses the rules of economy too. From the time we are born, we become consumers of various products and services (say, medical services, baby foods, and so on). We grow and diversify to attain various different roles as producers, traders, mediators and agents. Today’s world is that of “economic imperialism”, where economical factors, most importantly, money dictates all the elements of the society, not to forget close family relations. With recession wreaking havoc, economics is something which even ignorant households are learning. Economics is a science which deals with production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Therefore, we can conclude that whatever involves “transfer of money” includes “economics”. There are two schools of economics, namely, microeconomics and macroeconomics. The combined results of these two determine the actual effect of economics on people. To list all the important functions of economics would be literary impossible as newer issues keep creeping up. In the following lines, we have described some broad and basic functions of economics.

1.0 INTRODUCTION: “Education is not an amount of information that is put in your mind and runs right there undigested all your life. The use of education is to find out how to solve the problems of life.”– Swami Vivekananda. We live in a period of exceptionally rapid change in all sectors of our life. Education as a subsystem of society cannot escape the impact of this change. So, we must reflect to consider the innovative approaches to meet the challenges of future. This is both inevitable and essential as societies are faced with new problems. Educations as a potent factor in this regard must not only study and understand these but must of necessity reflect them adequately in its plans and programmes. In today s globalized world life is become very fast, due to technological evolution life is become materialistic and that has created many global challenges. On the other hand, every human being is a part of the all-pervading Divine being which is the originator of the entire creation. We all are one and also of the same origin. But there are people who have all the material comforts as their command, but are unhappy and miserable. Are happiness and peace to be found in the enjoyment of luxuries and comforts of life? The answer is No because the real happiness lies in the physical, mental and spiritual health of the people. According to Dash & Dash (2000) The World Health Organization (WHO) defines “Health as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” It is also said that sound mind resides in the sound body. So, to attain health related fitness there is need to adopt yogic way of life which is inherited by us from our Rishis and Munis , who struggle centuries after centuries and bestowed upon our culture the great science of yoga. According to Pilkington et. al. (2005) Yoga is one of the many different techniques for achieving relaxation. Yoga has its origin in ancient India and in its original form consisted as a system of spiritual, moral and physical practices. The most central and common aspects of yoga practice today are different bodily postures (Asanas) and breathing exercises (Pranayamas) that aim to focus the mind, achieve relaxation and increase wellness. Though importance of mental health has always been in existence since time immemorial. Yoga is the ancient science of India, is a conscious process for gaining mastery over mind. Yoga harmonizes our growth and balance, helps in total development. In this sense, yoga is a science of holistic living and is synonymous with basic or real education.
