‘Shikshak Parv 2021’ was celebrated by the Ministry of Education from 5th to 17thSeptember 2021 to acknowledge the valuable contribution of teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to launch new initiatives under New Education Policy 2020. During this celebration, the education stakeholders including students and teachers were addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 7thSeptember, 2021.
