In our present learner centric education system the role of the most important  molder of student is to  facilitate their learning.  A competent and

well prepared teacher is like an instrument to enhance the quality of education. Teaching competency of a teacher refers to the set of knowledge, abilities and beliefs a teacher possesses and bring to the teaching situation. Teaching competency is the sum total of all the competencies possessed by the teacher that are used in the teaching situation. The teacher performance in the class is thus dependent on the teacher's competencies. Since the teacher bring about change in pupils learning using the repertoire of teaching competencies, teacher effectiveness can also be inferred from a measure of teaching competencies. Mathew (1978) defined teaching competency" as the ability of a teacher manifested through a set of overt teacher class room behavior which is a resultant of the interaction between the presage and the product variables of teaching within a social setting.
