Pro Vice Chancellor in his welcome address remarked on how teachers hold the ability to transform students. Addressing the popular misconception of how AI can replace teachers Prof. Satish remarked, “AI may advance to great extent, but it can never replace the profound impact of teachers. Just as a restaurant meal can never match a mother's cooking, so too can AI never replicate the love and transformation that educators bring to their students' lives." He also added that, in his opinion, the most respected strata of teachers are the primary and secondary school teachers, as they lay the foundation of knowledge and discipline in students. He mentioned that the university teachers fine-tune the students' future.

Chief Guest Prof. V Chandrasekhar underscored the transformative power of education and the lasting legacy that educators can impart to their students by sharing the inspiring story of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, a notable scientist, educator, and nationalist, who pursued a career in chemistry only due to the profound impact of a dedicated teacher.
