If we create a smooth communication & harmony between these two ends, a better progressive society can be built which can provide equal education for all.

Dr Kanhere said that I consider myself lucky to be a part of Annie Besant Award. I believe that a teacher is the one who dispels darkness with the light of his knowledge. In true sense, a teacher is the one who creates mutual trust and respect between himself and the students. A teacher can build and maintain healthy affection, can help students to solve every problem and support them to evolve emotionally.
