Bantwal, Sep 5: Minister of Health and Family Welfare U T Khader said that in order to slacken the transfer policy of teachers, he would speak to the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Minister for Higher Education R V Deshpande.
Speaking at 'Guruvandana' programme organised by Dakshina Kannada district and Bantwal taluk teachers' day celebration committees in Bantwal on Thursday, he said that the teachers' transfer policy was reducing the psychological stability of a teacher. In some cases, married couples have to live separately and do their teaching jobs since they are transferred to different places. To avoid this, proper restriction on transfers and an accurate policy is required.
Urging teachers to show love towards their profession, he said, “Love towards teaching will help students perform better academically. Students must develop interest in respecting our nation and work for the development of country but not hinder the development,” he urged.
Delivering the presidential speech, district-in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai said that teachers ought to consider the teaching profession as service to god and teach likewise. “Teachers should strive to provide value-added education as students tend to imitate their teachers. Children and parents place trust in you, hence you should be keen on imparting qualitative education,” he advised teachers.
Principal of Vivekananda College, Puttur Dr Madhava Bhat delivered a special lecture on the occasion.
Several teachers including Jayananda Peraje, Vasudev Rao, Joseph, Rajashree, Chandrashekhar Bhat, Ramesh Naik Mulur, Dharanendra Jain, D N Raghava, Jagadeesh Shetty, Vasanthi, Lakshman Naik and Umesh Gowda were awarded 'District Best teacher' awards on the occasion.
Teachers Ramesh Nayak and Shridhar Rai who had received state-level 'Best teacher' awards last year, and Ramesh Baya and Sanjeeva H who had received district-level 'Best teacher' awards were felicitated in the programme. A total of 38 teachers who took retirement in the year 2012-13 were also felicitated.
Ramanath Rai released a book called 'Educational possibilities' by teacher Bhaskar Adwala on the occasion.
DK Zilla Panchayat president Koragappa Naik, Bantwal taluk panchayat president Lalita Shivappa, DK Kannada Sahitya Parishad president Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, Mangalore DIET principal Palakshappa were present on the occasion among others.
DDPI Moses Jayashekhar welcomed the gathering, and Bantwal Block Education Officer Sheshashayana Karinja rendered a vote of thanks.
