PM Narendra Modi To Bond With Students On Teachers’ Day

On the occassion of Teachers’ Day, the birth anniversary of Dr S Radhakrishnan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken an initiative to connect not only with teachers but with students, too. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the students from 3:00 pm to 4:45 pm through satellite link and live telecast on Doordarshan and the website of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD).

Nearly 1,000 students from various schools across Delhi will get the privilege of watching the speech at the Manekshaw Auditorium in New Delhi, which will be broadcast live by all Doordarshan channels to over 18 lakh government and private schools in the country, as well as on radio. Live streaming on the web would also be available.

Using the satellite link, the prime minister will also interact with students at National Information Centres in Leh, Port Blair, Silchar (Assam), Imphal, Bhuj (Gujarat), Dantewada (Chhattisgarh) and Thiruvannamalai (Tamil Nadu). However, students of Jammu and Kashmir will not be able to listen to Narendra Modi's address as the state government has ordered closure of all the schools in view of heavy rain and floods.

Interestingly, Narendra Modi will also take questions from some students across the country through video-conferencing. Analysts believe the move will strengthen the bond between the Prime Minister and millions of students of the nation.

Many morning schools have changed their schedule so that students do not miss the first mass contact programme of its kind. If you are interested in watching the addressal too, turn on your television sharp at 3 pm.
