In fact, teaching profession is the noblest profession and has been held in high esteem right from the ages.

As years passed by, a paradigm shift can be noticed crystal clearly with the upsurge of science and technology. So to say, there is a considerable chasm visible between a teacher and a student. Apart from science and technology so many other factors have contributed much to this kind of decline in relationship.
