Guwahati: Thirty-six teachers were feted by the Assam government on Teachers’ Day on Tuesday, while nine college teachers and principals were honoured for various achievements.
Education Minister Ranoj Pegu gave away the awards at a programme to mark the 62nd Teachers’ Day here.
Speaking on the occasion, Pegu said the relationship between a teacher and a student should not be of fear but should be based on respect.
He also underscored the role of teachers in developing a positive-minded society and urged colleges to act as mentors for schools in their areas.
Pegu called upon teachers, especially those heading institutions, to develop their schools and colleges as places for the all-round growth of students.
Besides the state award to 36 teachers for their services, nine college teachers were felicitated for achieving patents for their research outcomes.
