DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 6 (MExN): Bosco B.Ed. College, Dimapur celebrated Teachers’ Day 2016 differently with a creative blending of the 128th birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, philosopher and former President of India (1962 – 1967), and the 19th death anniversary of the newly canonized St. Teresa of Kolkata.
The teacher trainees of the B.Ed. College honoured the above mentioned luminaries and their own teachers with a well-prepared programme interspersed with entertaining as well as educative performances in the form of songs, dances, skits etc, informed a press release from the college.
In his Teachers’ Day message, the principal, Dr. (Fr.) Thuruthel Joseph sdb, referred to the famous quote from St. Teresa of Kolkata, “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” The Principal said God has created billions of people, but no one is a carbon copy of the other. “God has given each one unique talents. Hence each teacher/professor can contribute in a singular manner to the intellectual and character formation of the students,” he stated.
He exhorted the teacher trainees to translate into action the words of St. Teresa of Kolkata so that they can make an effective contribution to the formation of the ‘generation next’ in the state of Nagaland as well as in other parts of the country wherever they will be required to serve as teachers.
