Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Saturday said teachers play a crucial role in shaping curious minds, encouraging independent thinking and inspiring generations, stressing that their dedication can help build a better tomorrow.
The chief minister extended his warm wishes to teachers, underlining their wider role in society, particularly in nurturing young minds and encouraging them to develop the ability to think independently. Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein also greeted teachers on the occasion and remembered Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan on his birth anniversary.

In a social media post, Mein said Radhakrishnan, who dedicated his life to teaching, learning and public service, continued to remind people of “the profound influence a teacher can have on an individual, and ultimately, on a Nation”. “On Teachers’ Day, I offer my deepest gratitude to every teacher who patiently guides, encourages and believes in our children,” Mein said. He said the contribution of teachers to society often begins quietly, but its impact lasts for generations.
