The Managing Director of the college Nitin Tomar while addressing the students mentioned some great sayings of Radhakrishnan like- ‘good teacher is like a candle- it consumes itself to light the way for others.’
He mentioned another of Radhakrishnan’s saying - Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, them having facilitated their crossings, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.’
Garima Singh Tomar remembered Radhakrishnan with his saying- “Education should be imparted with a view to the type of society that we wish to build. We are working for a modern democracy built on the values of human dignity and equality. These are only ideals: we should make them living forces. Our vision of the future should include these great principles.”
