Teaching is a noble profession. It needs devotion, sincerity, and perseverance. It certainly adds to the pride and prestige of the teaching profession if teachers perform he duties conscientiously and observe certain simple rules of conduct, which are commonly accepted as professional codes of conduct.
Our college Committee has defined a few standards of conduct to be observed by teachers. Adherence to this set of codes does not in any way mean that the freedom of teachers is being curtailed. These standards of conduct have been defined with sole aim of improving the standard and reputation of our college among the academia and the student community in particular, and the society in general.
