Gujaratis must live with their happy go lucky nature but also must develop their simple living and high thinking philosophy since their childhood. It is said in our culture "Guna ha pujyante"- meaning, intelligence must be praised. Even Chanakya used to say that not the Eldest but the Best must b praised When you are progressing towards knowledge, two things must be left behind - addiction and fashion. The more simple life helps more progressing in life.
On this occasion Honourable Education Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrasinh Chudasma had said, Today is not an ordinary day. It’s a birthday of the President who had been nominated for 27 different noble prizes. Though when it was first time said to Dr. Radhakrishna to celebrate his birthday, he had said that I am a teacher first and then a president. My birthday must be celebrated as a teacher's day. Today is the day of social teacher hood. Merit is maintained where there is a competition. Merit helps quality to be improvised. On this day by appreciating merit of teachers, GTU has progressed in a direction of having qualified teachers.
Prof.(Dr) Navin Sheth, Vice-Chancellor of GTU said that the way professors are working for the students, they must be respected. And this programme is arranged specifically for this purpose only. We are very much pleased handing over this award.
