20.Teachers’ Day

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…
