Terming the role played by teachers in nation building as crucial, Minister for Labour and Dharwad district in-charge Santosh Lad has called upon everyone to imbibe the qualities that Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan stood for.
Inaugurating a District Level Teachers Day programme and award ceremony in Dharwad on Tuesday, he said that behind every successful person, there is a teacher.
“The role of teachers in bringing changes in society is very important. Let us all try to follow the ideals laid down by Buddha, Basava and Ambedkar. It is important to note that to protect democracy, protecting the Constitution is very important and we should always keep it in mind,” he said.
