New Delhi, Sept 4 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday cordially interacted with about 350 awardee teachers at his residence.

During the informal interaction on the eve of Teachers' Day, Prime Minister remarked that teaching is not a profession or job, but a way of life which he termed– “jeevan dharm”.

The Prime Minister said that if a society is to progress, its teachers must always be two steps ahead of time.

They need to understand changes happening across the world, and prepare the new generation accordingly by arousing curiosity in them, he added.

PM said a teacher never retires, and always continues to endeavour to teach the new generation.

The teachers also expressed their views on various aspects of teaching and what being a good teacher entails.

The Prime Minister remarked that when he became Chief Minister of Gujarat for the first time, he had two wishes, to meet his school friends and to meet all the teachers who had ever taught him.

He expressed satisfaction that he had been able to fulfill both these wishes.
