A PATH TO VIKSIT BHARAT: ENHANCING TEACHING COMPETENCY THROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRACTICES

The development of a strong and progressive nation, envisioned as Viksit Bharat, depends greatly
on the quality of its educators. This paper explores the enhancement of teaching competency among B.Ed. trainees through the integration of psychological well-being and multidisciplinary practices. Drawing from research on multiple intelligence, self-efficacy, and psychosocial skills, the study highlights how nurturing mental and emotional strengths can lead to more effective,
compassionate, and innovative teaching. Emphasizing a holistic approach to teacher education, the paper proposes sustainable strategies for building future educators who are well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of learners and contribute meaningfully to India's educational and
societal growth.
