Manik Sarkar, the Tripura Chief Minister spoke on the occasion of ' Teachers' Day'.

The Chief Minister Sarkar on Tuesday said, "Those who betrayed India's independent movement and acted as agents of the British Government are now active to change the secular fabric of the country to form a Hindu Rashtra."

"The educational institutes are now privatized and as a result of which, the education has turned into a business, which is disastrous for people," he added.

The Chief Minister later handed over this year's Tripura Government's highest teacher award - Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar Award - to renowned educationist and award winning writer Aparajita Roy.

The 20 teachers, six retired teachers, and 11 schools were felicitated for their performance in the function. On Tuesday at the  Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan on Agartala, the grand state celebration was held.
