The Teachers’ Day celebrations in the state started at the Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar Friday morning with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) anthem “manushya tu bada mahaan hai, bhool mat”.

The song that was sung by a group of students near the stage reverberated across the packed seminar hall on the first floor of the building.

“The song sung in the beginning ‘manushya tu bada mahaan hai’ every individual realise his inner strength to clear every obstacle ahead.”

Along with teachers to be awarded, ministers and bureaucrats, there were more than a hundred students from nearby government schools in Gandhinagar district occupying the last row, seated in a national flag formation with Tricolour caps.

The song was followed by an aarti with the song: “Jai shikshak guruji, jai shikshika mata…”, dedicated to teachers as “guru vandan”, especially written for the day by Secretary Youth, Sports and Cultural department — Bhagyesh Jha. [. . .]
