Tawang Deputy Commissioner Namgyal Angmo on Saturday felicitated 62 best-performing teachers from across Tawang district whose students secured 100 per cent results in their respective subjects in the recently declared CBSE Class X and XII examinations.
The felicitation programme was held on the occasion of Teachers’ Day at the auditorium of Government Higher Secondary School, Tawang, as a mark of recognition and appreciation for the dedication, sincerity and contribution of teachers towards improving the academic performance of students in the district.
Addressing the gathering, DC Angmo emphasised that teaching should not be viewed merely as employment involving classroom instruction and imparting knowledge, but as a profound responsibility of shaping an entire generation.
She urged the teachers to carry this sense of responsibility with them not only on Teachers’ Day but throughout their professional careers.
She observed that while administrators and officers implement various schemes, provide technical support and facilitate the creation of educational infrastructure, such efforts cannot achieve their intended purpose without the crucial role played by teachers.
Acknowledging the sincerity and dedication of teachers serving in far-flung and remote areas of Tawang district despite numerous challenges, the DC expressed her appreciation for their commitment towards the education of children.
She urged teachers never to underestimate the importance of their profession, pointing out that the knowledge, values and guidance imparted by them today would bear fruit in the years and decades to come.
Highlighting the long-term nature of investment in education, she said the results of efforts made in the education sector may not always be immediately visible, but their impact is lasting and transformative.
Speaking on sustainable development and the role of education, the DC called upon teachers to work with a long-term vision, keeping future generations in mind. She stressed that development should be approached from the perspective of its lasting benefits to society rather than merely focusing on short-term gains.
Education, she said, remains one of the most important foundations for creating a responsible, informed and sustainable society.
On behalf of the district administration and the people of Tawang district, the DC conveyed heartfelt gratitude to all sincere and dedicated teachers for their invaluable service and their contribution towards nation-building and shaping future generations in a positive direction.
Earlier, In-charge Principal, Government Higher Secondary School, Tawang, T. Sumnyam, in her welcome address, expressed gratitude to DC Tawang for recognising and felicitating the teachers.
She also thanked the participating teachers for attending the programme despite their prior engagements with Teachers’ Day celebrations in their respective schools.
The programme concluded with the felicitation of 62 best-performing teachers from across Tawang district, recognising their outstanding contributions towards the academic achievements of their students.
