Abstract


We are all concerned with the continuing inflation in India, since the time of independence. Obviously the economy depended on the production of goods (industrial, agricultural etc.) and the positive productive services. These in turn depend and are responsible for the clean produce and clean services for development. Generally human beings of working age group is responsible for the improving the production and GDP. Also in order to serve the society the vision must be "To better serve humanity, engineers must at least attempt to understand the human condition in all its complexity." A holistic approach to leaning and teacher interaction - would be more helpful. We need to circumvent the existing knowledge, investigate and integrate the factors for the development of critical learning. The competence of holistic teaching is the ability of the teachers as a whole and balanced encompasses the aspects of teaching knowledge, teaching skills, the emotional, and spiritual of the teacher, so that the character and values can be obtained by students through the process of teaching and learning.
