Kohima, September 4 (MExN): Nagaland Governor RN Ravi and Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Saturday extended greetings to teachers on the occasion of Teachers’ Day and acknowledged their pivotal role in the life of student’s.
In his message, Governor Ravi, on behalf of the people of Nagaland, expressed sincere gratitude to all the teachers, especially those of the State of Nagaland, who are serving the people, the society, and the Nation with their extraordinary services. “With their dedication they are constantly shaping the young and dynamic minds of our future generations - endowing them with intellectual heft and help imbibing needed ethical values,” the message stated.
Stating that a teacher's roles and responsibilities transcend classroom teaching, the Governor remarked that “the destiny of a nation depends upon its teachers.” Their personal and social conducts in day to day life inspire, aspire, and shape the overall personality of students and help them become ideal citizens, he said while urging upon all teachers to re-dedicate themselves with renewed resolve to the service of the nation.

While acknowledging that the education sector has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and is still struggling to recover, Rio said he was encouraged to see teachers adapting to the new norms of imparting online education so that the academic life of students do not suffer. “It is quite a challenging task… but I am happy to see that teachers and students alike have resolutely and innovatively embraced it,” he added.
The Chief Minister congratulated all the recipients of the Teachers' Awards across the State saying: “May you be an inspiration to your peers and continue your noble deeds in molding successful and responsible citizens and leaders of tomorrow.”
