It empowers future educators with the practical tools and skills they need to succeed and inspire their students.” Sonakshi Agarwal, Managing Director of Sterlite EdIndia Foundation, added, “Our initiative is about more than just classroom teaching; it’s about shaping educators who can inspire, engage, and instill a love for learning in students.”
The winners of the competition were recognized for their excellence, with certificates, prize money, and medals awarded during a ceremony graced by dignitaries including Mrs. Pushpa Kishfotta, Professor Alok Sharma, and Mrs. Sonakshi Agarwal.
