Teachers Day 2023

On the 5thof September, 2023 Gyan Deepak Foundation organised a grand felicitation for all its educators from all its five centres spread out over West Bengal and Bihar.

The educators from the two centres in Bihar – Gangdhara and Sonpathai -  had been brought to Kolkata a few days earlier. Their stay and their meals were taken care of.  There were crash courses in Teachers’ Training which they had to attend. Since there are no formally trained educators in these two centres,which are situated in the deep interior of Bihar, GDF has to train its own educators who are local residents.It was a rigorous three-day training programme with intensive courses, quiz sessions, assessments and interactive sessions. Since it was their first visit to Kolkata, local site seeing had been organized for them.

The programme was held in Rama Palace Banquet Hall, Kankurgachhi and began at 5 pm. The first two hours just flew by as the audience, comprising of educators and their families and some important invitees, were given a resume of each centre with the help of beautiful videos. Educators were given awards and mementoes. Beautiful song, dance and recitation items were presented by some extremely talented educators.  A very professional sound system and stage set up added to the glitz.

A sumptuous dinner followed. Every one was all praises for the well thought out menu and the quality of the food. Then  at about 7.30 the DJ took over the stage and the educators took over the floor. Almost everyone was dancing and the whole atmosphere was  full of happiness and good cheer.

It was after 9 pm when everyone left for home after a wonderful evening. GDF , dedicated to improve the lives of under privileged children, has improved the lives of its educators too with a programme like this.
