Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel emphasized that teachers are the true architects of an ideal society and nation. Highlighting their significance, he noted that while parents give birth and instill values in their children, it is teachers who shape them into responsible citizens by imparting knowledge and life values. Education, he stated, is the foundation of progress and the most effective means to cultivate qualities like equality, self-reliance, and self-respect within society. Governor Patel urged teachers to instill in students a sense of patriotism and compassion for the less privileged, reminding them that their role goes beyond teaching—they are contributors to building a developed and globally leading India. Governor Patel delivered these remarks at the state-level teacher felicitation event and uniform fund distribution programme held at the Academy of Administration with Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav presiding over the event.
