Abstract
The North-Eastern Region is a small miniature of the Indian Union. The name of these Sister States can be mentioned as – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. North-East India comprises an area of 2,62,179 sq. kms. (7.98 percent of India) and shares a population of 4,57,72,188 with 121,08,54,977 of all India according to 2011 census. The region lies in between 21.59oN – 29.30oN latitudes and 84.36oE – 97.30oE longitudes. The North-Eastern Region of India is rich in attractive varied tribal culture, colourful folk life, varied customs, traditions and beliefs, enchanting festivals and fairs, rare handicrafts and graceful dances etc. along with their varied scenic beauty, fascinating landscape, the lure of hills and valleys, rapid waterfalls, colourful orchids, seasonal wild flowers, natural parks and wildlife sanctuaries. In all the states of North – East India, percentage of trained teachers fall far short of national average of 80 percent. The large backlog of underqualified and untrained teachers in all the States is really a big problem. For meeting this inadequacy, the concept of ‘TeacherEducation under Distance Mode’ arises inorder to fulfil our national goal of Quality Education.
