Speaking on the occasion, the President, who was a teacher herself, remembered her teachers and said that they not only taught her but also gave her love and inspiration.

Thanks to the strength of the guidance of her family and teachers, she became the first daughter of her village to attend college. She said that she always feels indebted to her teachers for whatever she has achieved in life.

President Droupadi Murmu said that science, research and innovation are the basis of development in today's knowledge economy. The foundation stone for further strengthening India's position in these areas will be built through school education.

She said that, in her view, the development of original talent in science, literature, or the social sciences can be more effective through the mother tongue. It is our mothers who teach us the art of living in our early lives, and that is why mother tongue is helpful in developing natural talent, she said.

After the mother, the teachers carry forward our education in our lives. If teachers also teach in their mother tongue, then students can develop their talent with ease, said the President of India, explaining the emphasis on mother tongue education in the National Education Policy 2020.
