In his address, MP Mr. Mukesh Rajput stated that the state government is continuously working towards the welfare and social security of teachers. He described the Chief Minister Teacher Cashless Medical Scheme as a vital initiative to provide better health facilities to teachers and their dependents.

This scheme will alleviate the financial burden of hefty medical expenses for serious illnesses, allowing teachers to focus entirely on their teaching responsibilities. The agreement with Punjab National Bank will also facilitate access to various banking and social security benefits, including loans, savings schemes, and insurance policies.

Emphasizing the critical role of teachers in the intellectual and ideological development of students, Mr. Rajput highlighted that the safety and development of teachers are essential for student progress. A healthy and secure teacher can impart better knowledge and values to their students.

He appealed to parents to foster respect for teachers in their children, enabling them to contribute significantly to the nation's progress under the guidance of educators. This is an extension of social consciousness, where the teacher is regarded as a vital pillar of society. He further stated that teachers' role in making the country a developed nation is undeniable, as they prepare the future generation.
