The education system of a nation is pivotal in the development of its society. In today’s dynamic educational system, the role of the teacher educators is important for the future of teaching profession. In the present paper, the researchers focused on the emotional wellbeing of teacher educators teaching in Delhi and also made comparison between the type of institutions as one variable and teaching experience as another variable. An Emotional Wellbeing Scale prepared by Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener (2008) was used and data was collected from 100 teacher educators through Google form. The findings revealed that the Teacher Educators are facing issues in balancing emotional well-being in life and the Teacher Educators who are in Government B.Ed. colleges and with less year of teaching experience have better emotional wellbeing as compared to their counterparts.
