Gives away National Awards to distinguished teachers

By Bisheshwar Mishra

President Ram Nath Kovind has said that teachers are the true nation builders who lay the foundation of character-building in our sons and daughters to make them enlightened citizens.

Speaking after virtually presenting National Awards to Teachers on the occasion of Teacher’s Day today, Mr Kovind said, only good buildings, expensive equipment or facilities do not make a school. He said, the teachers’ dedication is the most important factor in making a good school. The President said, teachers should be at the centre of fundamental changes being made in the education system. He said, according to the New Education Policy, every possible step needs to be taken to enable teachers. He added that as per the policy, efforts will have to be made to select the most talented people in the teaching profession at every level.

The national level awards are given to teachers on Teachers’ Day to celebrate the unique contribution of some of the finest teachers in the country. President Ram Nath Kovind honoured 47 teachers, who have given their significant contribution in improvement of the quality of school education.
