His Excellency Dr. Deepak Mittal, Ambassador of India to the State of Qatar, honoured Indian Teachers for their valuable contributions towards academic excellence, efforts in community building, social service, and environmental preservation, during the Embassy of India Teachers’ Felicitation Ceremony. The Felicitation Ceremony was also streamed live on YouTube. H.E. Dr. Deepak Mittal expressed extreme happiness while felicitating Mr. Rakesh Verma of Birla Public School, Ms. Jayanthi Rajagopalan of DPS Modern Indian School and Mr. Shakir Hussain of Shantiniketan Indian School. Speaking on the occasion he congratulated all the teachers for their hard work and dedication specially during this challenging time. He also advised all Indian schools to focus on the key aspects of the National Educational Policy that envisages how technology can be used as a tool for learning. He also urged the teachers to pursue this technology as a tool to deliver education at the doorsteps. His Excellency reflected on the quality of education imparted by the Indian schools and the expectation of opening more Indian schools and higher education institutions in Qatar. He also quoted the honourable Prime Minster of India Shri Narendra Modi who said “there can be no joy greater than reading and no friend greater than knowledge.” As such education should not only develop cognitive capacities, but also social, ethical and emotional capacities and dispositions. He appreciated Shourya Pratap Bisht, Assistant Head Boy of Shantiniketan Indian School, for exhibiting confidence and seamlessly performing his role as the Master of Ceremony. #TeachersFromIndia#OurTeachersOurHeroes
