I am indeed delighted to be with you today on the occasion of Teachers' Day.
As you know, this day happens to be the birthday of our former President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, an eminent Scholar, Statesman, philosopher and a teacher with extraordinary brilliance.
I pay my respects to the memory of late Dr
Radhakrishnan on his birth anniversary.
Teachers not only impart knowledge and skills to students. They imbibe moral values on children.
Along with parents, teachers shape the young minds and mould the personality and character of children.
Our ancient scriptures have equated teachers with the Supreme Reality, ‘Guru Sakshat Parabrahma’.

Teachers’ Day is an occasion to express our gratitude to our teachers and honour them for their immense contribution to the processes of nation building. I understand that this is the 50th year of the presentation of the Teachers’ Awards by the
Government of Maharashtra. I extend my warm greetings to all teachers on the occasion of
Teachers' Day, and I congratulate the teachers who have been selected for this year’s teachers’ awards in various categories.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Right to Education Act passed by our
Parliament is a landmark legislation in many
