This is a very interesting question indeed. It is something like asking which of the two eyes serves better. As there is nothing to chose between the two eyes, so too in the case of the teacher and the farmer. Each of them contributes to the welfare of the society.
Now, let us see how each one serves the society. Let us take the case of the farmer first. The farmer feeds the country, with different kinds of foods. He is held in respect in literature, as others are dependent on him. This is really true. Whether the farmer works for his own selfish ends or for the market it is ultimately the society that gains.
The farmer's lot is a humble one. His difficulties are many. The place he works in is always dirty. He has to spend long hours tilling the soil, looking after his animals and tending to his vegetables, fruits and crops. He may not be an intellectual but he is a student of nature. He knows the weather conditions, the history of his plants and the diseases of his animals. He knows how to raise a good stock. He keeps the machinery of life and industry in the land going. He has to feed the industrial centers with raw materials like cotton, jute, wool and so on. In short, he is a mighty contributor to the welfare of the society.
The teacher contributes in an intellectual way. If food is essential, knowledge is even more vital. Without knowledge, man cannot progress. So the progress of a nation depends on her teachers. They carry the torch of knowledge and culture to inspire and educate the young of our country. In ancient societies the teacher was held in very high esteem and regard. They were given high positions in the ministry. The future of a nation depends on her teachers. Modern and advanced countries pay great attention to education which means their teachers do great help in nation building. So the teacher also serves the nation and if his contributions are not so tangible as that of the farmer nevertheless his contributions are really lasting and enduring πππ
So interesting The both are playing a great role in the country And the country can do without teachers and farmers .there are both needed to survive
