Remembering teachers with reverence

Speaking at the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) convocation on Monday, which was also Teachers’ Day, he said even when he was a vice-chancellor in Kerala, he would make sure that he would teach as often as possible. “Thankfully, being a vice-chancellor did not destroy me,” he added.

On Monday, 2,535 students received their certificates from the Bangalore Regional Centre of IGNOU.

Aanubbhaa Jhhaa received a gold medal for Diploma in early childhood care and
education programme, and Parul Chauhan received a gold medal for postgraduate
diploma in legal process outsourcing.
