Today?s life is full of challenges. In everyday life, people come across many difficult situations. Teaching is a profession that plays an important role in a country?s development. The teacher is the living ideal and a potential guide to provide directive growth and development in a student of today as worthy citizens of a country. They nurture the intellectual, physical, emotional, social and civic potential of each student and maintain challenging learning environments for all. The college teachers are the facilitators of knowledge and skill through interactive learning methods in education. The Indian higher education system had undergone rapid changes in terms of expansion, privatization, curricular reforms and pedagogical innovations. These changes have challenged the college teachers in terms of quality education, high caliber, adoption of effective teaching methods, curricular and evaluation system which results in increased pressure on teacher in particular. As the students? strength nowadays is in the increasing trend, the women teachers? recruitment in women and men?s colleges is also rising. This study reveals that the increase in the number of women at work not only results in paucity of time of association with family members, but also marks a change in the behavioral characteristics of women.
