Two educators from Tamil Nadu have earned national recognition for their outstanding contributions to education. J Amutha, principal of PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya in Madurai, and Thangaraj of a panchayat union primary school in Tenkasi, will receive the National Teacher Award from the President of India. Amutha, with over two decades of experience, is noted for her dedication to service and fostering growth through experience. She has led her school in adopting panchayat union schools to share resources and support an old-age home.
Thangaraj has implemented innovative 'joyful learning' methods to enhance foundational literacy among rural students. His unique approach includes utilizing vegetables from the school garden for the nutritious meal scheme, where students take on ministerial roles to manage agriculture and monitor activities, thereby developing administrative skills. Both teachers expressed gratitude to their families and mentors for their success.
