For the first time, the civic body also presented four teachers with the ‘Best Teacher’ award. Among the students, 60 SSLC and 62 PUC students received a cash prize of ₹25,000 and ₹35,000 each, respectively, while the four teachers chosen for the award received ₹50,000 cash prize each. B.C. Nagesh, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, who gave away the awards, said, “India has a rich tradition of celebrating teachers.
