Both these professionals play significant role in the progress and prosperity of the society, contributing their utmost both mentally and physically. Teachers are the architects who shape the future of the students, he said. He specifically mentioned the contribution of the teachers of BSP schools who have made our students shine on the global horizon. We are proud of those ideal teachers. After our parents, teachers become our Gurus in the school and later the lecturers and professors in colleges become our Gurus, teaching and guiding us through the path of life. This learning process continues throughout our life but the impact of the primary teachers lasts lifelong, he said. Thus in different stages of life we learn from different ‘ Gurus ‘ and we ought to respect and honour all of them.
