On the eve of Teacher’s Day, the Oriental University here on Friday felicitated distinguished academicians of the city for their exceptional contribution towards growth and promotion of education in Indore and Madhya Pradesh.
At a Teachers’ felicitation ceremony organised at Oriental University auditorium, Chancellor, Kl Thakral, chairman of Oriental Group of Institutions, Praveen Thakral, vice-chancellor HS Yadav here on Friday felicitated senior academicians IC Gupta, Ramesh Mangal, Archana Sharma, Aditya lunawat and Deepak Kaul and presented them with mementoes in recognition to their exceptional services in the field of education.
Addressing a large gathering of students, university chancellor Kl Thakral asked students not to skip their classes as it will not only amount to loss of their important classes but would also deprive them of valuable teachings of their teachers. He said skipping of classes by students has become a major concern for academic institutes across the country as it not only hinders their career’s growth but also causes erosion in the reputation of the academic institutions, they are studying in.
Speaking on the occasion, university chancellor, HS Yadav said two persons have important places in students life – one is their teachers and other is their parents as both of them are not only concerned about their career but also feel proud of their (students) achievements.
In this age of cut-throat competitiveness, it is not important which academic institutions they are studying in, rather what they learn and what kind of knowledge they acquire is important for them, Yadav said exhorting students that they must concentrate on their study which will ultimately help them excel in their career.
Earlier, Director, Oriental School of Management RK Jain while welcoming the guests emphasized on the importance and relevance of Teacher’s Day in the present context and shed light on the life of Sarvpalli Radhakrishnan and his contribution towards growth of education in India.
