Introduction

Our world has developed into a global village where people from different nations, cast, religions, and creed, social and economic backgrounds live and survives together under a single umbrella. This social development has also changed the environment of educational systems of the world. Now there is a significant difference between classrooms in modern world of twenty first century and that of twentieth and nineteenth century. Students from different race, cultures, nations, speaking different languages get education under same teachers and management. Considering these factors teachers are now facing challenges and issues related to the management of classrooms. Classroom management is the essence of educational system and teachers play the role of main player in it. It is actually a method or series of steps to be followed in order to ensure that all activities in a class run in a very smooth way (Iqbal et.al, 2012).
