President Droupadi Murmu greeted several teachers at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi. Speaking on the occasion, she said, “I extend my congratulations to all the award winners of today. I feel proud to see the progress and success being reflected in education and schools. Village schools and teachers today are moving ahead of urban teachers. As a teacher, the time I spent with children was one of the best phases of my life.”
“Teachers play the most crucial role in giving wings to children’s dreams. A good teacher possesses both sensitivity and intellect. It is the smart teachers who, with sensitivity, are able to deliver meaningful education to society. We must promote the education of daughters. In modern India, Savitribai Phule made a significant contribution in advancing education, and I pay her my respect and regard. In this education policy, Kasturba Gandhi residential schools are playing a key role. The more you support the education of daughters, the greater will be the nation’s progress, ” she added.
