Teacher’s Day Observed in Patna Diocese

Believers Church Patna Diocese celebrated Teacher’s Day on the 5th of September.

Shri Shyam Rajak (Minister of Food and Consumer Protection) was invited as the chief guest on the occasion. In his key note address, he lauded the sincere contribution of the church in the field of education. He also appreciated Metropolitan Dr. K.P. Yohannan for helping the underprivileged even in the remotest villages.

Bishop M. A. Lalachan presided over the event and in his speech said, “Teacher’s day is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to show our gratitude and appreciation to our teachers. In a nation whose demography is young both in age and spirit, teachers have the responsibility of providing education which is rich in values and contemporary in content. Education is the process by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased and intellect is sharpened as a result of which one can stand on one’s own feet. Teacher’s sacred duty is to enable students to construct knowledge, to discover their own purpose, talents and to develop their physical and interpersonal skills”.

To honour teachers on the day special awards were given to 28 teachers of Bridge of Hope and seminary. Also 140 underprivileged children received school bags on the occasion.

Believers Church takes time to honour teachers by acknowledging their contributions made to society.
