Himachal CM honours professors

Shimla, December 19

Teachers are the builders of the nation and the guides of society and they mould students’ character to make them ideal citizens, said Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur at a function organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Shikshak Mahasangh at Kufri today.

He said the education system should be such that our future generations could be inspired to move forward with their culture, civilisation and values of life.

On this occasion, the CM and religious guru Gyananand Maharaj jointly honoured Prof Kapil Kapoor, Dr Badri Prasad Pancholi and Renu Dandekar with the Shiksha Bhushan Award.

He said the state had started many ambitious schemes to enhance the quality of education in the state. Earlier, the CM visited the exhibition put up by various departments based on the developmental schemes and programmes of the state government. — TNS
