However, the magnitude of rural pupil talk was observed lower (13.49%) of female teachers against male (18.12%), which indicated more participation of rural male teachers over female due to more silence or confusion which was due to more acceptable behaviour puting higher number of questions for the development of students. The pupil initiation ratio indicated better in male teachers (35.34%) against female (33.38%) on account of their significant nature of better initiation of approtunities for discussion with the students.
