As many as 387 Acharyas from different districts of the state were present in this program. He said that I had heard and understood about your work earlier also, but today I am very happy to see it in person. The Governor congratulated all the trainees and specially appreciated the presence of women Acharyas and said that when a woman is educated, the whole society is educated and the scene here is a symbol of the deep roots of education in tribal society and the leading role of women. He said that under the Vidya Vikas Samiti, education is being made accessible in rural and tribal areas through 213 formal schools and 209 Saraswati Sanskar Kendras in Jharkhand. Free education based on values is also being provided in the neglected settlements of the city. This is highly commendable. He called it an excellent example of strong social service. The Governor expressed happiness that the educated youth of the tribal society are imparting education to the children of their village and society not only in alphabets and numbers but also in more important values. He underlined the participation of teachers from 264 blocks of the state as the awakening of national consciousness. Referring to the sensitivity and respect of the Prime Minister of the country towards the tribal society, he said that Jharkhand is being given priority in the establishment of Eklavya model residential schools. The Governor praised the concept of Vidya Bharati which has a clear objective that "no one should be deprived of value-based education." He called upon the teachers to become not just teachers in their respective fields but also to become carriers of values.
