| Summary: | This paper explores human resource as an integral force in a society. Though it has many faceted aims and objectives, the significant aim is to develop the human resource in schools and colleges. A country may have well-defined policy infrastructure facilities, well-equipped laboratories and libraries, but it can hardly achieve its educational goals unless it has committed teachers. In recent years considerable concern has been felt in the sphere of teacher education. Its role to develop the human resources in schools and colleges is greatly emphasized. Training needs can be aptly explained as the gap between the requirements for skills and knowledge inherent in the job and those possessed by the current jobholder. Teacher educators working in teacher education colleges need through training in their teaching skills and knowledge. From the findings of this paper it is observed that teacher educators irrespective of their age, gender, designation, subject specialization have shown their bent of mind about the need for training in their profession. So in order to gear up their potential abilities in the field of their workplace, intensive training through refresher and orientation courses is the need of the hour.
