We have seen in the past some of the teachers in the higher learning institutions have
produced outstanding scholars. During those days there was no NAAC, there was no academic
audit and no attendance and yet they produced talented students from the institutions. The
students came out from the academic institutions were with self confidence. The present ratio of
student: teacher in the country is almost 20:1, colleges having about 4, 21,000 teachers and
universities 79,000. More than 25% colleges’ and almost 35% universities’ teaching positions
nationwide are vacant, and 57% of college and 22% university teacher lack either a master’s or
Ph.D. degree.
India’s one of the major wealth is youth (18-40 years of age) which presently stands at
almost 80 million, 62% of the total population (127 million, male 65.6 million and female
61.4%). Despite growing education, 25% of its population is still illiterate; and just 18% go
college and university. The quality of higher education is significantly poor. India’s post secondary institutions offer only enough seats for 7% of India’s college-age population.

Ms. K. Padma
DOI : 10.5281/EIIRJ.7185433
Abstract
Certificate
The temple is built as a fort. There are rooms built of stones on the south side with high echo powers. Being one of the 108 famous Vaishnava Divya Desas, this is the birth place of Saint Uyyakondan EngalAzhwan. To have the darshan of the Lord Pundarikakasha, the devotee has to pass 18 steps first representing the 18 chapters of Bhagwat Gita. The next 4 steps at the Gopuram tower entrance represent the four Vedas. After worshipping at the Bali Peeta there are 5 steps representing the five Bhoodasspace, water, fire, wind and earth.There are two entrances to the sanctum sanctorum, the Dakshinayana entrance open from Aadi to Margazhi Tamil months covering from July-August to December-January and the second Utharayana open from the Tamil months Thai to Aani covering January-February to June-July. The temple is on a hill of white rocks (Vellaiparai in Tamil) 50 feet tall, hence the name Vellarai with the respectful prefix Thiru – Tiruvellarai. The front Gopuram tower is in an incomplete stage. A Yogi, Pundarikakshan by name cultivated a flower garden – Nandavanam, grew Tulsi plants and worshipped Perumal and Mother. Perumal, pleased with the bhakti of Pundarikakshan blessed him with His darshan. Perumal also came to be known as Pundarikaksha Perumal.Prayer begins at the Bali Peeta in the temple. Realizing their wishes, devotees perform Bali PeetaTirumanjanam and offer pudding-pongalnivedhana to Lord. Those seeking child boon, bathe in the Theerthas and consume the nivedhana offered to Perumal. This prayer, according to belief, ensures child boon without fail.
Perumal graces the devotees in a standing form facing east. The Vimana-tower above the sanctum is of Vimalakruth design. Emperor Shibi, Sage Markandeya, Lord Brahmma and Lord Shiva and Garuda Bhagwan worshipped Lord Pundarikaksha in this temple.
Lord Vishnu told Mahalakshmi who was also present on the occasion that he had transferred all rights of the place to her and He would be there only in Archarupa idol in the place.
The emperor was preparing to take on his mission then. Sage Markandeya stopped him and said that Lord Vishnu was already on the mission to destroy the Ravana group in His incarnation as Lord Rama and that he could therefore return to his kingdom. The king was not happy at the suggestion. Markandeya asked him to build a temple for the Lord who granted him darshan. Obeying the sage, the emperor brought 3,700 families to conduct the pujas in order. On the way one died and the number fell short by one. Lord assured the Shibi that he would replace the deceased and make the number 3,700 as the emperor wished.
Mother Sengamalavalli is in the sanctum sanctorum. During festival times, Mother leads the procession in a palanquin

Many factors contribute to the attitude and skill of using technology in the classroom by teachers in education. One important factor is technophobia where teachers show fear of or revulsion to modern technology. The main cause oftechnophobia is ignorance.
