Chandigarh: Haryana Governor Prof. Ashim Kumar Ghosh called upon the teaching community to go beyond their role as teachers and also serve as mentors, role models and sources of inspiration for students, helping them become responsible and sensitive citizens. He said that a nation that respects its teachers secures its future.
The Governor was addressing the 7th ‘Teachers’ Excellence Awards’ ceremony, held today at Manav Mangal Smart School in Mohali. On the occasion, he honoured 11 outstanding teachers from schools, colleges and universities with the ‘Award of Excellence’.
Congratulating the Manav Mangal Group for successfully carrying forward the initiative of honouring outstanding teachers for seven consecutive years, the Governor said that such platforms provide teachers with the respect and recognition they truly deserve.
The Governor said that while society honours life-saving doctors, engineers contributing to nation-building, and scientists driving innovation and research, the foundation of their success is laid by teachers who nurture and prepare them at a time when the world may not even know their names.
Highlighting the awardees from educational institutions across Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, the Governor said that the initiative demonstrates that excellence in teaching is not confined to any one city or institution.
Commending the inspiring journey of the Manav Mangal Group, he said that the group is positively impacting the lives of thousands of students and their families through its six educational institutions in the Tricity.
The Governor also extended his appreciation to the teaching community for its invaluable contribution and conveyed advance greetings on the occasion of the upcoming Teachers’ Day.
