The culture of India is the culture of putting into practice the idea of ”Guru Govind Dou Khade, Kake Lagoo Paya – Balihari Guru Aapne, Govind Diyo Batay”. Guru is paramount for us.

He said that the state government would leave no stone unturned to maintain the honour and respect of the teachers.
Teachers are responsible for full development of the talents of the students. Teachers are not servants, they are the Gurus who shape the future of children.
It is the result of their guidance and the education given by them that the individual becomes capable of guiding the society.
Chouhan said that imparting knowledge, skills and values of citizenship are the main objectives of education.
It is the duty of the parents along with the teacher to transfer the accumulated knowledge to the next generation.
Adequate provision has been made in the National Education Policy for skill education. It is most important to give the values of citizenship to the students.
Teachers should take a vow that their students will be patriotic, characterful, honest, dutiful, caring for others, respecting girls and women, respecting parents and helping the helpless.

We also have to work towards freeing children from the fear of English. Arrangements are being made to start medical studies in Hindi language in the state.
Chouhan while exhorting the newly appointed teachers to remain positive and dedicated towards discharging their duties said that it is with your efforts that the state will reach the first position in school education in the country.
Referring to the lines of Swami Vivekananda, he said that there is no work in the world that you cannot do.
Chouhan said that it is necessary for the teachers to maintain in ideal conduct. The virtues of being punctual, maintaining cleanliness, always speaking the truth should be expressed in the day-to-day conduct of teachers.
Teachers should innovate and experiment in teaching, do self-study, keep adapting themselves to the changing technology and times. Also, they must stay in constant communication with the parents. Be sure to talk to the parents about the weaknesses and expectations of the children.
Referring to Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, the Chief Minister said that it is necessary for a teacher to treat everyone equally, to be loving, not to be egoistic and to be patient. At the same time, it is necessary to always maintain a sense of enthusiasm towards one’s duty and keep moving forward on the path of duty.
