A remarkable journey: The biography of Vijay Garg

His unwavering passion for teaching and his dedication to social justice made him a role model for many of us
Esha Sharma
Today, our society is better informed and aware of it’s own rights and rights of others, which is a form of liberation, freedom and great human achievement I believe. All credit goes to visionary leaders, pioneers of education and teachers whose sweat and sacrifice has guided our society thus far. Teachers aren’t supposed to outlive their students; it goes against the natural order of things. Every true teacher and mentor hopes not only that his or her students learn the lessons they are supposed to learn, but also that they will go on to surpass their teachers, outliving their teachers, accomplishing and experiencing things that their teachers may never even see, eventually passing those lessons and ideals on to further generations and onward into the future.

Teacher, you have always shown us the right way. Whatever little we have achieved in our life is because of you only. Thanks for being our guide and mentor. Thanks for letting us dream big.Of all the professions, teaching is the noblest and respectable profession. Without education a society will be doomed. Teachers are the builders of our future and the biggest honor they receive is people remembering them throughout their lifetime. Teaching profession is the mother of all professions and no one can really substitute the actual role of a teacher. Teachers are teachers and nobody in the society can rise beyond their teachers. Today, there is a rapid advancement of science and technology and there is much transformation of human resources into social advancement and all these things are a clear indication of the sacrifices made by the teachers. There is a need to grow in the minds of teachers, the inner desire to teach. If teachers have faith in their students and if teaching as a profession is accepted with faith and conviction, the height of the society will continue to rise higher where nobody can stop. Teachers play a very important role in student’s life, who brings out the best in them and encourages them to strive for greatness. They are the ones who will always be happy to see your achievements and will help you in achieving your goals. “They are the ones who inspire us, guide us, enlighten us and most important, motivates us to get the best out of us and shapes us. Teaching is one of the most noble and powerful professions, the world has seen. It is a position of honour where one can create great change and a lasting imprint for the future. Many great leaders, scientists, educationists and philosophers are where they are today only because they were all at one point of time taught by a selfless and dedicated Teacher. Teachers are most valuable assets in ones’ life, without such committed people called teachers the world would be full of kioks without discipline and standard knowledge. I want to thank all my teachers for making me what I’m today. Whenever we achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams remember there is always a mentor behind who guided us in building up our foundations.
