Teachers' Day today
9th Mile, Ri Bhoi, 5th
September 2019: Respect for diversity, tolerance and
sensitivity are the core values of individuals which are to
be inculcated by the teachers because human values and
society along with perfection within curriculum go a long
way to build great institutions. This was stated by Dr
Mridul Hazarika, former Vice Chancellor of the Gauhati
University after receiving the “Outstanding Academic
Leadership Award” from Mahbubul Hoque, Chancellor of the
University of Science & Technology-Meghalaya (USTM) today on
the occasion of the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvapalli
Radhakrishnan. The award was bestowed to Dr Hazarika in
appreciation of his exemplary contribution to academics and
research. Teachers from all the departments of USTM and RIST
were felicitated today at a glorious function held at the
Central Auditorium of USTM on the occasion of Teachers’ Day.
Addressing a huge gathering of academia, Dr Mridul Hazarika
said, “Teaching and Learning is a never ending process. The
challenge here is to mould individuals by developing needed
skills and values thus confronting the challenges of
building institution, society and the nation”. “Developing
good habit will contribute to development of good character
and at the present age of technology, people must know how
to combine technology and emotion to become a better human
being”, he added.
Earlier, in his welcome address, USTM Chancellor M. Hoque
said that teachers are the architect of society, they are
the real transformer. “The best teacher is who inspires,
encourages, motivates and gives vision to students. If a
good teacher leaves my institution, I feel as if a pillar of
the building is gone”, he said. Teachers play a great role
in shaping young minds thus contributing to the values of
the society they serve.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr PK Goswami, Vice Chancellor,
USTM said that teachers are the backbone of the society and
their role in shaping the lives of children and the young
generation matters a lot. A teacher’s role is highly
demanding in the society, he added. |
