The Dhubri unit of Bharat Vikas Parishad (BVP) on Sunday, January 25 organised a ‘Guru Vandana and Chatra Abhinandan’ ceremony at a town hotel conference hall, reaffirming the enduring bond between teachers and students while celebrating academic excellence.
The programme brought together teachers, students, parents and members of civil society to honour the guiding role of educators and recognise the achievements of meritorious students. Addressing the gathering, Bijoy Kurmi, In-Charge President, and Amiya Sundar Saha, Secretary of the Dhubri branch, highlighted the cultural and educational significance of the initiative.
They said Guru Vandana symbolises gratitude towards teachers for their lifelong dedication to shaping young minds, while Chatra Abhinandan acknowledges the perseverance and discipline of students who excel academically. Such initiatives, they noted, play a vital role in promoting mutual respect and strengthening value-based education.
As part of the ceremony, three educators were felicitated for their contributions to education and the arts—Subrata Baruah, a retired Physics teacher; Tarun Kumar Kar, a noted tabla exponent and music teacher; and Shyamal Kanti Ghosh, a veteran yoga instructor.
The programme also honoured three meritorious students for their performance in the matriculation examinations—Manash Bhattacharjee of Sankar Dev School, Bhagyashree Mazumder of Sishu Pathsala High School, and Sagar Roy of Vivekananda Vidyapith High School.
At the higher secondary level, Sishu Pathsala High School recorded notable success, with four science stream toppers—Dalia Mondal, Suparna Dey, Babai Paul and Amrita Paul. In the arts stream, Anirban Bhowmick of Sankar Dev School, along with Saptaporna Dutta and Trisha Kundu from Sishu Pathsala High School, were recognised as toppers.
Speaking on the philosophy of education, Gaur Krishna Saha emphasised the importance of “learning with thought”, stating that knowledge gains true value only when combined with critical reflection.
The event concluded with a patriotic musical rendition of Vande Bharat by Rajesh Shad, followed by a vote of thanks.
