The Function of Education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus - Character. That is the Goal of Education. (Martin Luther King. Jr. ) The purpose of bringing out this book, "Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Education," is to include all the articles written by the teachers (Indian Teachers), who, with so many years of teaching experience and in publishing articles on their specialized subjects, focused on various concepts. It is my pleasure to present these articles which will be helpful to the academicians in various fields in all educational institutions.
