Knowledge is incomplete without a teacher, and a disciple is directionless without a mentor.” Bringing this sentiment to life, Teachers’ Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm at Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences. On this occasion, students honored their teachers, further strengthening the age-old guru–shishya tradition.
During the program, 15 faculty members were felicitated for their remarkable contributions in the field of education. Students expressed their gratitude towards their mentors through soulful performances of songs, music, and dance, making the day truly memorable.
The celebration was inaugurated with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp by Dr. Ashok Nayak (Principal, SGRRIM&HS), Dr. Manoj Gupta (Director, SGRRIM&HS), Dr. Anil Malik(Chief Medical Superintendent, Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital) & Dr. Puneet Ohri (HOD, Community Medicine).
Speaking on the occasion, Principal Dr. Ashok Nayak said, “Today’s students are tomorrow’s teachers. A teacher is like a mirror, helping students recognize their strengths and weaknesses, while guiding them towards the right path. The teacher–student relationship must always remain simple and natural.”
Director Dr. Manoj Gupta shared his personal experiences related to the guru–shishya tradition and emphasized, “If you wish to succeed in the future, both respect and guidance from your teachers are essential.” Students, through emotional references such as “Guru Govind Dou Khade”, highlighted that the position of a teacher is always supreme.
