There is always a good appreciation for the teachers’ selfless service. They lay a foundation for a progressive society and character-centric citizens, he added.

Rangasamy called for sustained respect for the teachers.

Puducherry Home and Education Minister A Namassivayam said that teachers’ role in society is effective and irreplaceable.

Students owe a lot to their teachers and the Teacher’s Day celebration is a fitting recognition to the teaching community and a tribute to former President Dr S Radhakrishnan, whose birth anniversary is being celebrated every year as a day dedicated to recognise the services of teachers, he said.
