In the Itanagar Capital Region (ICR), the best performing teachers were felicitated with ‘district teachers’ awards’ at the Shikshak Bhavan in Papu Nallah.
Four best performing teachers and four best performing head teachers of different government schools within the ICR were felicitated with the awards for their sincere efforts in educating students.

Attending the function, DC Talo Potom said that “Teachers’ Day will continue to inspire teachers to rededicate themselves towards imparting knowledge and value-based education.”
He urged the teachers to discharge their duties with utmost sincerity and dedication.
“The district administration is looking into the matter of shortage of teachers, and making every effort to ensure availability of subject teachers in the schools of the capital,” he said.
Borum ZPM Tok Tama said that “teachers play the most important role in shaping the future of students,” and urged the teachers to “work with sincerity and dedication,” while advising the students to respect their teachers.
