President Ram Nath Kovind on September 5 conferred the National Teachers' Awards to 44 teachers from across the country for their contribution to developing innovative methods of teaching. The national-level awards are given on Teachers' Day to celebrate the unique contribution of some of the finest teachers in the country and to honour those who, through their commitment, have not only improved the quality of school education but also enriched the lives of their students.
The National Awards to Teachers were first instituted in 1958 to recognise the excellence and commitment of teachers in shaping the minds as well as the future of the youth.
