Addressing the occasion, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik emphasized that the aim of teachers extends beyond fostering academic excellence to nurturing good human beings. He stated that teaching is not merely a profession but a mission to prepare Odisha for the future.
Patnaik highlighted the successful transformation of 6,883 high schools across the state through the flagship 5T (transformational initiative), resulting in a significant positive change in the school environment.
