I extend warm greetings and best wishes to the entire teaching fraternity of Andaman and Nicobar Islands on the occasion of Teacher’s day, which marks the birth anniversary of former President of India late Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.

Teacher’s day is an occasion when the nation honours the dedicated services of all the teachers who play a leading role in the intellectual and moral development of our children.

Teachers also play a crucial role in imparting knowledge to the students, nurture them and shape their future to reach high levels.

In Andaman and Nicobar Islands teachers have to serve in every remote corner of these Islands, but despite such stressful challenges our teachers perform their duties with utmost dedication, this is why in Indian tradition, teachers are considered as next to God.

Teaching is not just another profession but is a divine responsibility to guide and enlighten children, who are the future of our country.
