Good to see our leaders honoring teachers. But I wish they'd also focus on improving teacher salaries and infrastructure in government schools. Many teachers work in difficult conditions across rural India.

Savitribai Phule was India's first female teacher! She faced so much opposition but never gave up. Her story should be part of every school curriculum. Education truly empowers women 💪

Happy Teachers' Day to all the amazing gurus! My math teacher in Class 10 changed my life - she believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Teachers shape futures 🌟

Good gesture by PM Modi and President Murmu. But we need more than just one day of recognition - teachers deserve better support systems year-round, especially in remote areas.
