“Without
them…we would have been lost…” This was precisely the message of the
Teachers’ Day celebration and the gist
of several speeches delivered by students who fondly recalled the ways in which their ‘special’ teacher had made a difference
in their lives…
While the thought chosen for
presentation during the morning assembly focused on student-teacher
relationship, the special debate during the
afternoon had the topic: “Whether teaching is a service or
a mere job”…
During a special function organized
by the students in the college auditorium, today afternoon, 05 September 2018, the faculty of the college were invited one by one to the stage,
presented with a bouquet of flowers and a hand-designed card with an endearing
message thanking them for the service they are rendering… thereby making it
memorable for the teachers present.
A video presentation on the life and
contributions of Dr.S.Radhakrishnan, the former President of India on whose
memory Teachers’ Day is celebrated, followed. The screening of a short film on
the life of an Engineering student whose teacher saves him from hostile peers and a short film from Thailand, based on the life
of a Professor of Anatomy who donated his cadaver to his own students, highlighted the values and
ethics of the noble profession of a teacher…
For the new batch of teacher trainees who are yet to be initiated
to the art of teaching, the day’s programmes served as a kind of lamp
that sheds light on the path they have to tread in life as a teacher…
