On Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remarked that historically, teachers employed strict discipline, including the use of sticks, to cultivate character and contribute to the nation-building process. He called upon parents and society to collaborate with the government in fostering a resilient India.

During his visit to his primary school, Yogi Adityanath emphasized that this strict approach among teachers set the groundwork for character development and national progress. He commented, “In contrast to today, parents in the past supported teachers’ authority because they understood that such discipline was essential for their children’s futures.”

“In those earlier days, teachers would use sticks, but parents accepted this because they recognized that these educators were dedicated to shaping their children’s futures. Teachers would even visit students’ homes to discuss important national and global events, playing a significant role in building a stronger India,” he shared with the students and attendees at the school.

The UP Chief Minister noted that government schools have been modernized with advanced technology and equipment, thanks to partnerships with the corporate sector and private enterprises. “This progress has enhanced school infrastructure and contributed to qualitative improvements in education. While the government and society are actively collaborating to elevate education standards, teachers bear the crucial responsibility of optimizing these resources to provide the best learning experience,” he added.

Yogi underscored that the responsibility of nation-building extends beyond the government to society as well. “A bright future can only be established when education is prioritized and actively supported by the community. Despite limited resources in the past, teachers excelled in nurturing discipline and commitment in students, leading to their substantial success even amid challenges,” he stated.

According to Yogi, a clear governmental vision, along with community engagement, creates the conditions for exceptional progress in all sectors. “I studied at Government Primary School Thangar until the 5th standard. Today, it brings me great joy to return to a school that is now modernized and well-equipped,” he expressed gratitude towards the Uttarakhand government and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for the school’s enhancements.

During the event, Dhami expressed pride in the fact that the Chief Minister studied at the same school until fifth grade. He remarked, “No one is born great; rather, greatness is achieved through effort and resolve. Chief Minister Yogi’s life exemplifies how determination and hard work can lead to extraordinary success. Despite his humble beginnings, Yogi Adityanath has become the Chief Minister of the most populous state in India and is recognized globally as a Karmayogi.”

Dhami also requested Yogi to consider extending the under-construction Ganga Expressway from Prayagraj to Haridwar, which would significantly enhance road connectivity between the two states.
