“Teaching is a lifelong process, as is learning”. Both these processes occur not only from the educational institutes, textbooks, websites or classrooms but also from parents, teachers, community, colleagues and not the least but from our own experiences. A major role in the learning process is sported by the classroom, where a student spends most of his learning time; which begins from the school, then college and then onwards learning at various specialized institutes for advanced learning. With the technological advancements introduced and imbibed into the education sector, classrooms have changed their dimentions and appearance in multiple ways. We have witnessed the shift from traditional ‘Gurukul system’ to the ‘Bench-Table-Chair-Blackboard’ system and moving further to the latest ‘Digital Classrooms’. Apart from the impact on other facets of teaching learning this makeshift of the classroom has a prominent impact on one of the important parameters of student life ie. Emotional Intelligence. This paper attempts to examine and discuss the role of emotional intelligence in modern classroom and the role of the teacher in inculcating them among students.
