Together with the rest of the nation, Meghalaya also celebrated the 62nd Teacher’s Day today, on September 5 at the U Soso Tham Auditorium in Shillong, in the presence of the Education Minister, Rakkam A. Sangma who attended the program as the Chief guest.

He also emphasized the necessity of teachers developing a variety of cutting-edge teaching strategies for the students’ overall growth.
The Minister additionally congratulated Madhav Singh, a senior science instructor at Alpha English Higher Secondary School in Nongpoh, who has been awarded the National Teacher Award for 2023. On this occasion, the minister also launched a number of Special Projects funded by SSA, including PM e-Vidya Meghalaya, the Adopt a School Campaign, and the website for the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan.
