BEST TEACHERS

   

In the presence of my gifted teachers

Our classroom becomes a delightful place

In the hands of my gifted teachers

There is laughter in every students’ lips

In the company of my gift teachers

Creative thinking is everywhere

In the palms of my gifted teachers

There is hope that genuinely prospers

In the lectures my gifted teachers

Imagination and knowledge are awakened

In the voice of my gifted teachers

The memories of the past are shaken

In the advice of my gifted teachers

Creativity and skills are modelled

In the prayers of my gifted teachers

All kinds of blessings are shared

In the guidance of my gifted teachers

Faith and talents are finely set

In the encouragement of my gifted teachers

My future is made complete

Teachers are the second parents who help the students balance their lives and spend the maximum childhood time. Just as our parents influence our childhood years, our teachers help shape us into the people we want to become when we grow up, having a huge impact on our lives.

Here you can read about the most memorable teachers in books.  

IN the traditional Indian education -The Guru (teacher) Shishya (disciple) parampara or guru parampara, occurs where the knowledge (in any field) is passed down through the succeeding generations. It is the traditional, residential form of education, where the Shishya remains and learns with his Guru as a family member.

 Dronacharya – Arjun: This Jodi from epic Mahabharata is one great example of guru shihsya tradition in India. Arjun developed his archery skill under dronacharya and became world's best archer.

 

The famous kabir ke Dohe also imparts the glory of the teacher

“Guru govind dono khade, kaake lagu paaye

 

Balihari guru aapno, govind diyo bataye

 

“Teacher and Lord are both there, whom to be adore. But teacher you are great, who told us that god is greater”

As an honour to them Government of India presents – NATIONAL AWARDS TO TEACHERS

 

The National Award to Teachers are given away by the President of India on 5th September = TEACHER’S DAY every year to give public recognition to meritorious teachers working in primary, middle and secondary schools. The award was instituted in 1958. The MINISTRY OF EDUCATION has revised the guidelines for the selection of Teachers for National Awards since 2017.

 The number of awards has been rationalized to 50 (under the earlier scheme the number of awardees had crossed 300). From 2023, the ambit of National Teachers’ Award has been expanded to include teachers of Department of Higher Education and Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship. 50 School Teachers, 13 teachers from Higher education and 12 teachers from Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship will be awarded. The award carries a Silver Medal, Certificate and Rs.50, 000/- as award money.

 Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of their students, influencing not only their academic development but also their personal growth and character formation. Beyond the classroom, teachers often serve as mentors, guides, and role models, leaving an indelible impact that extends far beyond the curriculum.
