The teacher gives life, not the mother. All of us are constantly aware of the impact that teachers have been extending on our lives. There will always be a childhood statement made by a person that sticks with them throughout their lives. The Teacher never stops working. If we have good instructors, scientists, and physicians, there are teachers who support them "PM Modi said.
