When asked about how often teachers take initiative to help with doubts/problems, 37 per cent stated that they do this every day, while 29 per cent said a few times a week and 13 per cent stated that this is a once a week occurrence.
Close to 30 per cent of students stated that they consult with teachers on personal matters, and almost 50 per cent said that they view their teachers as friends.
When asked what qualities they value the most in their teachers, the highest percentage (31 per cent) of students said 'Good teaching style/methodology', followed by 'Providing knowledge beyond the curriculum' (27.4 per cent), 'Being nice to students' (16.8 per cent) and 'Helpful nature' (14.5 per cent). Additionally, 46.5 per cent of students said their teachers have helped/counselled them to choose a career path.

They are the pillars of support and mentorship for students of all ages through some of the most crucial years of their lives. Through our research carried out for this year's 'Teacher's Day' in India, we aimed to provide deeper insight into the intricacies of a student-teacher relationship that is not just limited to students' academic pursuits but involves their personal growth on a daily basis as well."
