Guru Sakshath Parambrahma, Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha.”

Education is the key to everything. It is the key to peace and democratic stability, to jobs and economic growth, to good health, to respect and harmony between different genders, faiths, ethnic groups and communities. It is the key to billions of unique human beings fulfilling their unique potential.

And teachers are the key to education. You can have a school, college or university without a building, without books and pens and desks and blackboards, and I suppose computers; But you can’t have a school, college or University without teachers. It’s as simple as that. Each one of us has had unforgettable experiences of being shaped and influenced by wonderful teachers.
