Chandigarh, 5 September, 2026:
The Speaker of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Sardar Kultar Singh Sandhwan, today extended his heartiest congratulations to teachers across the country on the auspicious occasion of Teachers’ Day (Shiksha Diwas).
In his message, Speaker Sandhwan emphasized that teachers illuminate the path of knowledge for students, transforming them into responsible and outstanding citizens of society. “Education holds immense significance in our lives, and a teacher plays a profoundly creative role in shaping a student’s future,” he said. “Just as we can never repay the debt we owe to our parents, we can never truly repay the debt of gratitude we owe to our teachers. A teacher guides us to great heights, shows us the path to success, and derives the greatest joy from seeing their students prosper.”
On this special occasion, the Speaker also paid rich tributes to the former President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, commemorating his monumental contributions to the nation’s education system.
Sardar Sandhwan extended special congratulations to the teachers who were honored with state and national awards today for their exemplary service. Highlighting the Punjab Government’s commitment to transforming public education, he noted that special international exposure visits have been organized for educators. These foreign tours enable teachers to study advanced global education systems firsthand and implement those best practices in Punjab’s schools.
Reiterating the state’s vision, the Speaker asserted that every single child deserves access to high-quality education to ensure they grow into capable and ethical citizens who will drive the nation forward.
