Three Punjab teachers selected for National Awards to Teachers 2022
Chaniagarh: Three teachers from Punjab have been selected for the National Awards to Teachers 2022.
President Droupadi Murmu will confer the awards to 46 selected awardees on September 5 to honour their unique contribution to school education, officials told Hindustan Times on Thursday.
Arun Kumar Garg, Vandana Shahi and Harpreet Singh are the three teachers who have been selected for the award.
Arun Kumar Garg (39), principal of Government Senior Secondary School, Datewas, Mansa, has completed 15 years of teaching in mathematics in government schools. He holds a postgraduate degree in mathematics and a Bolivia-based university bestowed DLitt on him last year. Garg’s colleague terms him a laborious teacher with impressive leadership qualities.
“I was never comfortable with mathematics and experienced gaps in my learning abilities with classroom teaching. Circumstances made me opt for maths at the PG level and after that, I was able to overcome my scare of the subject. I made mathematics my passion with a mission to help students understand the subject fun,” he told the newspaper.
He runs a free online channel on Youtube “Abhyaas By Arun Sir” to facilitate both students and teachers.
Vandana Shahi, principal of BCM School, Basant Avenue, Dugri, Ludhiana, a CBSE affiliated private school, has been recognised for her immense commitment, innovative teaching ways and for initiating numerous community outreach programmes in the school.
