Oxford University Press India conducts Teaching Strategy Workshop at JMA Pilani Rajasthan

Finding a Teacher is like finding a Boatman in Rough waters - the boatman does not calm the rough waters but puts the traveler on the boat that will take across the rough waters and so is a Teacher who shows you the path across the rough waters of illusion and ignorance as a Mission with Passion to reach the shores of knowledge and wisdom.
