A tribute to the true architects of society
Presiding over the event, Club President Rtn. Namrata Chadha emphasised the deeper purpose behind the initiative: “Teachers are the silent architects of our society. Through this Shikshak Sanmaan Samaroh, we are not just honouring individuals, but celebrating the very foundation on which our future stands.”
She added that recognising educators is essential to reinforcing respect for the profession and inspiring the next generation to value learning.
