Itanagar, Sep 5: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.) conferred the State Awards for teachers at Golden Jubilee Banquet Hall, Itanagar on Teachers Day today. 40 teachers from different government and government aided private schools received awards for their contributions towards the enhancement of education in the State.
In his address, the Governor congratulated the award winners and said that they have demonstrated that teaching is not just a profession, but a calling, one that requires passion, creativity, and a deep commitment to nurturing young minds. “Teachers are the architects of society. They mold the minds of the young, instil values, and inspire dreams. Their influence extends far beyond the classroom, which touches every corner of the community and has a lasting impact on the lives of their students,” he said.
The Governor said that Arunachal Pradesh is a land of immense potential, but to realise this potential fully, education must be prioritised as the cornerstone of development. He underscored that education is the foundation on which we build our future, the tool that empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully to society, and the key to unlocking opportunities for growth and prosperity.
Parnaik said that education brings rationality to thinking and behaviour adding that an educated, disciplined and motivated citizen remains a clarion call of the day.
The Governor said that the government has given priority to the education system and made budgetary provisions for providing necessary fillip to education in the State. He said it is imperative that there is a concerted effort of government officials, educators, community leaders, and parents to overcome these obstacles.
The Governor suggested for implementing policies that ensure every child has access to education, regularly training teachers to enhance their pedagogical skills and knowledge, and ability to use technology in the classroom. He said that the dream of Viksit Bharat can only be realized when we have ‘Viksit Arunachal’, which in turn can be achieved through the power of education.
The Governor exhorted the teachers and officials to prepare the children to be global citizens, equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world. This balance between cultural preservation and global progress is essential for building a Viksit Bharat that is proud of its heritage yet forward-looking and dynamic, he said.
The Deputy Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly Kardo Nyigyor, Commissioner (Education), Amjad Tak and Joint Director, Secondary Education, Tanyang Tatak also spoke on the occasion.
