Dehradun: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday distributed appointment letters to 1035 assistant teachers (primary education) at the Government Doon Medical College, Patel Nagar, Dehradun. This included 17 special education teachers. The Chief Minister congratulated all the candidates and expressed hope that these young teachers would play a significant role in improving the standard of education in the state. He said that from today, the important responsibility of shaping the future of Uttarakhand rests on their shoulders. When a child receives quality and value-based education, they not only improve their own life but also make an invaluable contribution to the development of society and the nation. Teachers are the architects of the country’s bright future.
The Chief Minister said that along with providing excellent education to children, they should also instill in them a sense of duty towards society, culture, and the nation, so that they become cultured and responsible citizens along with being educated.

He said that the government will not allow anyone to play with the future of the youth.
