Dr Radhakrishnan was a great philosopher, a humanist, and above all, an exemplary teacher. He was an epitome of knowledge, a strict disciplinarian and yet, always approachable. The teaching profession was his first love and those who studied under him, remember with gratitude, his great qualities as a teacher, Mishra said.
The governor further also appealed to the people of the state to fight the menace of Covid-19 pandemic unitedly and defeat it.
Chief Minister Khandu in his message expressed gratitude to the teachers serving in various government as well as private schools and institutes, especially those posted in rural areas, for guiding and moulding their students into future leaders, bureaucrats, technocrats, academicians, scientists, scholars, entrepreneurs and aware citizens of the country.
“As the common adage goes, the future of a country lies in the hands of its children, and teachers, as mentors, can mould students into future leaders who shape the destiny of India,” Khandu said.
They play an important role in our lives to become successful in career and business. They help us to become a good human being, a better member of society, and an ideal citizen of the country,” Khandu added
