This year on Teachers’ Day, author Chet Kamal Parkash honours his Teachers with a Thoughtful Tribute
Author Chet Kamal Parkash reflects on teachers’ transformative roles—from classrooms to pandemic and floods—uplifting the teaching profession in India.
New Delhi [India], September 5: Every year, as September 5th draws near, we pause to honour a profession that is profoundly impactful and quietly powerful—teaching. Teachers are not merely providers of knowledge; they are sculptors of thought, nurturers of curiosity, and often the first mirrors reflecting the potential of who we might become.
As an author, he often found himself drawn back to the roots of his own intellectual and emotional evolution. Time and again, that journey began not in a library or writing studio, but in the modest classrooms of his childhood school—guided by educators who recognized potential in him long before he recognized it in himself.
He further adds that we must never forget their extraordinary contribution during the pandemic. In a time of uncertainty and isolation, it was teachers who brought continuity, hope, and structure into our lives. While the world retreated indoors, they reached through screens with unwavering commitment, keeping the flame of learning alive. Their selfless service during those challenging times is a lasting reminder of the vital role they play—not just in classrooms, but in society at large.
