The Union Department of Education has released a list of teachers who receive National Teacher Awards from various states. A teacher from Jaipur Primary School in Bankura, West Bengal, also made the list. Buddhadev Dutta said that all credit goes to his school and the entire Bankura district for this special recognition. “This recognition is not just for me, but for everyone,” he said.
Dutta, who is currently in the capital Delhi to attend a national-level seminar, said: “As a teacher, this recognition is incomparable. But for this I would like to thank all the students, teachers, officials of the school. This recognition belongs to all of us. If my students are able to teach humanity, compassion and knowledge, that will be my greatest reward.”
He added that since he has also been a student of the Jaipur school, there has always been a sense of responsibility for both this school and the district. “With this honor, the responsibility has now increased,” he said. It is the first time that a teacher in primary education has received the National Teacher Award.
