Earlier, the event began with the lighting of the traditional lamp by the guests. Addressing the event, mayor Bhargav said that he always made it a point to attend felicitation of doctors and teachers. “My mother was a teacher, my father a doctor and I have seen their struggles,” he said.
Thanking Free Press for the initiative of felicitating teachers, he said that Chanakya said that teachers were never ordinary persons. “Teachers developed scientists who brought laurels to the country by the successful launch of Aditya-1 and Chandrayaan 3,” he said.
