Synopsis 'Transformation' is the key word in the educational scenario in India today. Globalisation, privatisation and changing requirements and aspirations demand an innovative approach. In the concept of the knowledge-based society, 'meritocracy' will prevail. There is no alternative to capability. If teachers want to remain relevant in this era of explosion of knowledge, they must continuously and regularly train themselves. Teacher-education is one of the key concepts of today's education. In the present volume, we have presented thought-provoking articles and research papers that define teacher-education and related ideas. Manpower input is the major demand of this segment of education. If things are planned with foresight and implemented with sincerity, there is no reason why education will not bloom in India. We will definitely succeed in establishing a hierarchy-less world order where only merit will prevail.
