Vodafone Idea Foundation Felicitates Teachers on the Occasion of Teachers’ Day

Mumbai:On the occasion of Teachers’ Day, Vodafone Idea Foundation hosted an enriching event - “Vodafone Idea Teacher’s Day Conclave 2021” – to felicitate the beneficiaries of its Teachers Scholarship programme. The conclave had eminent speakers from the Government, Educational Institutes and the Foundation to celebrate and honor the teachers for their hard work and contribution to the society in nation building.

 

 

Present at the event were: Mr. Sarvendra Vikram Bahadur Singh, Director - SCERT and Basic Education – Uttar Pradesh; Mr. O L Mandloi, Additional Director - RSK, Madhya Pradesh; Dr. Devang Vipin Khakhar, Former Director - Indian Institute of Technology – Mumbai, Mr. P Balaji, Chief Regulatory & Corporate Affairs Officer, VIL and Director, Vodafone Foundation amongst others. The dignitaries shared their views on the significance of this day and the importance of a teacher’s role in shaping the youth of our country to be a good citizen.

 

At the event, P Balaji, Chief Regulatory & Corporate Affairs Officer, VIL and Director, Vodafone Foundation said, “Teachers Day marks an occasion to celebrate knowledge and to honor our teachers for their contribution as a catalyst in building our nation. We at Vodafone Idea Foundation believe that learning is a vital part of every person’s journey to their goals. Through our various initiatives such as Jigyasa, Gurushala and Teachers & Students Scholarship Programme, we emphasize on the learning processes to promote social good and positively impact people’s lives so they can secure a better and brighter future for themselves and the nation.”

 

Mr. Sarvendra Vikram Bahadur Singh, Director SCERT and Basic Education, U.P said “Students often learn better from teachers, who they admire and respect. If you are a good teacher, and your students love you, invariably, they will also well learn from you. We need to build a conducive ecosystem for them, so that they can be successful. It's our duty to equip them with the right solutions.”

 

Dr Devang Vipin Khakhar, Former Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai said “With time, more and more technology will come into our teaching practices, which will help teachers reach out to more students. These technologies will also provide a way for students to do self-learning, which will invariably create a deeper understanding of the subject.”
