A positive attitude will enhance the teaching learning process thereby ensuring the quality of the education. It is also seen that the teachers have a great influence on the students. Thus, it is important to train the teachers to be more proficient and competent to carry out their role effectively. The following study focusses on measuring the effectiveness of the two-year teacher training program on the attitude of the student teachers.
