40 teachers across Gujarat honoured with 'State Best Teacher' awards
Gandhinagar, Sep 5 (IANS) Forty teachers from across Gujarat were honoured with the 'State Best Teacher Award' on Saturday at a ceremony held to mark Teachers Day, recognising their contribution to education and the development of students. Governor Acharya Devvrat and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel presented the awards to the teachers at the state-level ceremony organised by the Education Department. The awardees received certificates of appreciation and cash prizes in recognition of their work. Teachers Day is observed across India on September 5 to commemorate the birth anniversary of former President and distinguished educationist Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Addressing the ceremony, Governor Acharya Devvrat extended his greetings to teachers and recalled the importance accorded to the Guru in Indias traditional culture. While a mother gives physical birth to a child, a Guru transforms a disciple by removing ignorance and showing the path of knowledge, he said. The Governor contrasted the emphasis of the education system introduced under Macaulay with the value-based approach of ancient Indian education. He said material prosperity and vocational knowledge alone could not ensure lasting happiness without humanity, compassion, service and devotion towards parents and Gurus. He pointed out that India had made significant contributions to fields including astronomy and mathematics since ancient times. While acknowledging the importance of technological and material knowledge in the present era, he stressed that moral values and knowledge of the self were equally necessary. Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye, the Governor said, referring to the principle that true knowledge liberates a person. He cautioned that education without values could contribute to social unrest and decline. Devvrat urged teachers to use a few minutes before their regular lessons each day to impart lessons on the art of living, patriotism, values and respect for parents. He said a balance between technology and culture was necessary to develop the next generation. Education Minister Pradyuman Vaja congratulated the award recipients and their families, saying the best teachers did more than educate children they inspired the coming generation. Vaja said teachers played an important role in developing values, quality, skills and curiosity among children. He described the award ceremony as an effort to honour knowledge and said a society that respected knowledge could progress and build a better nation. Recalling the lives and values of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and former President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Vaja said: While Parliament and legislative assemblies made laws, teachers shaped the true future of the country in classrooms. He said the Gujarat government, under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, is working to provide quality education and facilities to children even in remote villages. He urged the education fraternity to ensure effective implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 and help children become capable, sensitive and self-reliant citizens. Earlier, CM Patel praised the service of the teachers receiving the awards and described teaching as a national duty. Teachers contributed to nation-building by shaping individuals, he noted. The Chief Minister also urged teachers to ensure that students were guided in the responsible use of technology while continuing to promote positive values through their speech, conduct and behaviour. Governor Devvrat, Chief Minister Patel, Education Minister Vaja and Minister of State, Rivaba Jadeja, paid floral tributes to Dr Radhakrishnan during the ceremony.
Gujarat CM stresses technology, tradition to prepare education system for future
Gandhinagar, Sep 5 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Saturday called for Gujarats education system to combine the countrys traditional educational heritage with advanced technology to prepare students and teachers for the demands of the future. Speaking at the State Best Teacher Awards ceremony held on Teachers Day, Patel said teachers have a key responsibility in shaping individuals and preparing a capable generation that could contribute to the development of Gujarat and the country. Teaching is not merely a profession but a national duty, Patel said, stressing the significant role of teachers in nation-building. He urged the teaching community to continuously upgrade its technological skills as students increasingly remain connected with developments across the world through artificial intelligence, digital technology and Google. At the same time, he said teachers must guide students towards the wise and responsible use of technology. Teachers should also inspire positive energy among students through their speech, conduct and behaviour, he said. He called on them to prepare children and the education system for the future by blending Indias traditional educational heritage with modern technological advancement. The Chief Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had placed education beyond the objective of employment and recognised it as a powerful instrument of nation-building. The National Education Policy has provided a new direction towards skill-based and futuristic education while focusing on the holistic development of students, he said. Patel said Gujarats education sector had also undergone changes under the Prime Ministers guidance, with initiatives such as 'Kanya Kelavani' and 'Shala Praveshotsav' being taken forward as mass movements across the state. Efforts are being made to strengthen education services and facilities for children, he said. The Chief Minister urged teachers to fulfil their responsibility of developing a capable future generation to advance the Prime Ministers vision of Saptadhara for Viksit Bharat 2047. He called for the creation of a Viksit Gujarat that would contribute to a Viksit Bharat through a well-equipped and future-ready teaching community. Governor Acharya Devvrat, who was also present at the ceremony, stressed that education should not be limited to technological and material knowledge. Moral values, humanity, compassion, a spirit of service and respect for parents and teachers are equally important, he said. The Governor said India has been a global leader in subjects such as astronomy and mathematics since ancient times, and argued that knowledge of physical resources and technology needed to be accompanied by knowledge of the self and moral values. He urged teachers to devote five minutes each day before beginning their regular lessons to teaching students about the art of living, patriotism, values and devotion towards parents. Education Minister Pradyuman Vaja said teachers had a vital role in developing values, quality, skills and curiosity among children. The successful implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 would require the education fraternity to help every child become a capable, sensitive and self-reliant citizen, he noted. The ceremony was attended by Minister of State for Education, Rivabaa Jadeja; Gandhinagar MLA Rita Patel; State Project Director M. Nagarajan, Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board Chairman M. A. Pandya; Commissioner of Schools, Anand Patel; Director of Primary Education, Prakash Trivedi; teachers and their family members.
