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.

Gujarat Government Makes Major Announcement: Changes to NPS Withdrawal Rules After Retirement
The Gujarat government has made significant amendments to the National Pension System (NPS) rules for government employees. According to the new circular, employees have been provided with more convenient options for withdrawing pension funds and purchasing annuities after retirement. Furthermore, government-sector NPS members have been granted special exemptions to remain in the scheme even after retirement, up to the age of 85. Full Withdrawal Exemption for Amounts Up to 8 Lakh According to the new rules, it is generally mandatory to purchase an annuity amount of at least 40 percent of the total pension amount received at the time of retirement. However, in a relief to small investors, it has been announced that if the total accumulated pension amount reaches 8 lakh, the employee will have the option to withdraw the entire amount in a lump sum. New withdrawal options for amounts between 8 lakh and 12 lakh If the accumulated pension corpus is between 8 lakh and 12 lakh, employees will be able to withdraw a maximum of 6 lakh in one lump sum. For the remaining amount, they will be given the option to receive periodic payments (in installments) for at least six years or purchase an annuity. Additionally, employees can defer their annuity purchase and lump sum withdrawal until they reach the age of 85. Voluntary Retirement (VRS) and Other Special Provisions In case of voluntary retirement (VRS) or other specified cases, an employee must allocate at least 80 percent of their total accumulated corpus towards annuity. However, if the total accumulated corpus is 5 lakh or less, a lump sum withdrawal will be permitted. Through these new reforms, separate and clear withdrawal provisions have been implemented for government and non-government sector members of NPS.

The Way TNPL Has Grown Over The Years Is Immense: Shahrukh Khan (ld)
Tamil Nadu Premier League: Cricketer Shahrukh Khan believes the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) has played a major role in the growth of cricket in the state, providing a platform for young players to showcase their talent and a pathway towards the Indian Premier League. Shahrukh himself is among the players who have benefited from the TNPL platform. After spending nearly two decades in the Tamil Nadu cricket system, the hard-hitting batter has established himself as one of the states prominent white-ball players and an IPL cricketer. The 2026 season marked another highlight in Shahrukh's TNPL journey as he guided Kovai Kings to their third championship. The team beat Madurai Panthers by 84 runs in the final held at MA Chidambaram Stadium on August 28. Andre Siddarths quick 82 off 47 balls contributed to a solid team total, and Kovai's bowlers dismissing Madurai for just 98. For Shahrukh, however, the importance of the TNPL goes beyond his own success. TNPL has been a platform for a lot of players from Tamil Nadu, including me, Natarajan, Varun Chakravarthy, a lot of players, Shahrukh said in an exclusive conversation with IANS. He believes the tournaments growth over the years has been significant and that its impact is now evident in the number of players from Tamil Nadu who have gone on to play in the IPL. And the way the tournament has grown over the years is just immense. And not just TNPL but the other leagues that happen around India as well. But the first domestic tournament for a state T20 was TNPL and very fortunate to be a part of this tournament, he said. The league, which began in 2016, has increasingly become an important fixture in the Tamil Nadu cricket calendar. For young players, it offers an opportunity to play alongside experienced domestic cricketers and to perform under pressure in front of a wider audience. Shahrukh feels that the process is continuing to work, with new players emerging every season. And every year, you see new talents coming up. I hope even this year, the IPL scouts see a few talents and picks so that the tournament grows even bigger next year, he said. Shahrukh has played cricket in the states circuit for around 20 years and has encountered a range of leadership styles across his age-group, league, domestic and IPL careers. He believes these experiences have helped him develop his own understanding of leadership. But when it comes to the foundation of his captaincy, Shahrukh looks closer to home. I think I have been in Tamil Nadu circuit for about 20 years now. So there are various captains that I have played under in league matches, the local league that happens here. And obviously, I have been playing age group cricket for a very long time. And played under a lot of captains in IPL as well, but the base foundation for me in terms of captaincy is the sort of cricket that we play here in Tamil Nadu, the league structure, he said. He specifically credited Ashwin Venkatraman, a prominent figure in the Tamil Nadu league circuit and a former associate of Kovai Kings, for aiding his understanding of the tactical aspects of captaincy. I have really looked up to a person, a captain called Ashwin Venkatraman. He is a player in Tamil Nadu league here. So he has been really vital in terms of how to go about in a game of cricket and how to read a batsmans mind before he does something, Shahrukh said. His IPL experiences have shaped his leadership style. Shahrukh has shared dressing rooms with several seasoned captains and has watched how they manage various situations. And obviously, playing IPL, I have seen a lot of captains. And from afar, if you look at it, MS Dhoni has always been my idol in terms of captaincy. And the pattern in which I go about is whatever I have got from him, he added. Shahrukh's IPL 2026 season with Gujarat Titans was disappointing, leading to his removal from the playing XI during the tournament. He later disclosed that he had been battling a technical flaw in his batting for several months. And obviously, playing IPL, I have seen a lot of captains. And from afar, if you look at it, MS Dhoni has always been my idol in terms of captaincy. And the pattern in which I go about is whatever I have got from him, he added.

New Delhi, Sep 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today chaired the valedictory session of the two-day National Departmental Summit on Water, organised by the Ministry of Jal Shakti. The Summit is the first in a series of Departmental Summits envisioned by Prime Minister to strengthen the spirit of Team India, deepen cooperative federalism and foster collective ownership of national priorities through closer collaboration between the Centre and the States. It brought together Ministers and senior officials from States and Union Territories for focused deliberations on various dimensions of Indias water security. Prime Minister appreciated the intensive two-day deliberations and emphasised that the actionable and time-bound action points emerging from the Summit should be pursued through a continuous process of review and learning. He suggested that the Summit should not remain a one-time exercise and called for a continuous process of review and follow-up. Prime Minister called for sensitising Urban Local Bodies to the challenges arising from urbanisation, including population growth and future water requirements, and suggested organising similar Chintan Shivirs for Urban Local Bodies. He called for greater adoption of water-saving technologies. He also suggested dedicated exhibitions and workshops, including exposure to global best practices, to enable Indian manufacturers and stakeholders to develop and scale efficient solutions. Emphasising Jan Bhagidari, Prime Minister suggested promoting Jal Utsav to create greater awareness among people. Prime Minister called for making de-silting a regular programme and developing clear criteria and SOPs for de-silting. On dam safety, he stressed rigorous preparedness before every monsoon, adherence to prescribed precautions and creating awareness among school students, including through suitable incorporation in educational curricula. Prime Minister further called for strengthening knowledge and capacity on water management and governance in universities and higher educational institutions. He suggested structured inter-State study-visits involving public representatives, officials and farmers to facilitate practical learning and replication of successful interventions. Prime Minister called for robust water data governance, with water-sector data brought together, systematically managed, analysed and effectively utilised. He recommended the use of AI for data collection and analysis through a uniform format. He also stressed anticipatory and integrated planning to address water scarcity through suitable utilisation of treated water for agriculture and industrial purposes. Drawing upon his experience as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister noted that instances of water scarcity could be transformed into opportunities through systematic planning, commitment and deployment of adequate resources and capable officers. Union Minister for Jal Shakti C. R. Patil highlighted four key outcomes of the summit: accelerated completion of water infrastructure projects; strengthening water conservation as a sustained peoples movement; ensuring long-term sustainability of drinking-water sources; and institutionalising effective operation and maintenance of rural drinking-water schemes.
