As we know that entire world is grappling with COVID pandemic, majority of the education institutions has been temporarily closed for any academic activity across the country. Various board examinations were also postponed and delayed due to this devastation. Last year a similar situation was observed in all the education institutions due to this pandemic. No doubt students are suffering from various types obstacles due to closure of education institutions, but teachers are playing their significant role in mitigating this loss of students by their extra efforts and initiatives. Various modes of online interactions are going on between the students and their teachers. Last year even many teachers were engaged in community classes to give benefits to the students at their doorstep. Many teachers are engaged in compiling various data related with their institutions, distribution of free ration supply and other academic tasks. Besides giving their services in teaching learning process, lot of teacher community is engaged in various administrative works in health sectors in this crucial hour of crisis. They are continuously giving their services in various health centers across the country day and night. As we know at present mega vaccination drive is going on across the entire nation, and teachers are giving their valuable contribution in this historic event also. Many teachers are engaged in conducting rapid testing, vaccination centers, toll Nakas for scrutiny of COVID infected persons, quarantine centers and other COVID isolation centers. No doubt it is a time of great crisis for entire nation. And it is the responsibility of every civilized citizen to help their countrymen at the time of such kind of devastation. The responsibility of teachers increases even more because they are called nation builders. In this wave of COVID infection many teachers has lost their precious life, because teacher community is not fully trained like health workers to deal with such kind of task. Even the families of such teachers are in great risk of infection who are continuously giving their services in various health centers. But still the teachers are performing their responsibility well, but the irony is that only teachers are engaged for this task at present moment. There is no deployment of masters/lectures/senior lecturers and physical teachers for this task. Moreover, it is found that merely few teachers are deployed on rotational basis for this special task. Remaining teachers are enjoying the patronage of their status. Such type of favoritism policy is creating dilemma in minds of already deployed teacher faculty. A streamlined and transparent policy is needed to combat from this exploitation and disparity. No doubt it is not an apt time for blame game and criticism. But equal and balanced treatment can change the condition more in our favour. One can give its unique contribution in this crucial hour of crisis by moral boosting and cordial behaviour of one’s stakeholders. No doubt teachers can play their significant role in this crisis provided that there is cordial support from their department. If we engage all the teachers including masters, lectures etc in this task on rotational basis, it will not put an extra burden on few teachers only. In such a way they can work with more dedication and commitment. We can’t ignore the role of teachers in this time of crisis, no doubt they are giving their services like a corona warriors. The only plausible solution for this disparity is to engage the entire teaching faculty in such tasks without any favoritism policy. As we know female teachers are already exempted from this task because of nature and complicity of the task. But we can achieve our target in mitigating this problem of pandemic when all will cooperate with their sincere approach and professional spirit.
