Higher Education Minister Kishor Barman on Saturday underscored the pivotal role of teachers in shaping the future of society and the nation while attending the state-level celebration of the 65th Teachers’ Day at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhavan in Agartala.
The programme, held to commemorate the birth anniversary of renowned philosopher, educationist and former President of India Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, featured the felicitation of meritorious teachers from across Tripura.
Addressing the gathering, Barman said teachers play a role far beyond classroom instruction, helping students develop confidence, values, discipline and the courage to dream. He said an ideal teacher not only creates good students but also helps shape responsible citizens.
The Minister highlighted the growing importance of teachers in the era of technology and artificial intelligence, noting that while information is now easily accessible, transforming information into knowledge and wisdom remains an important responsibility of educators.
Barman said today’s classrooms are laying the foundation for the Tripura of tomorrow and the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
He expressed gratitude to the teaching community for its contribution to education and extended his congratulations to the teachers honoured at the state-level celebration.
