GURU PURNIMA: SIGNIFICANCE
We commemorate this day to express our gratitude to our gurus for their dedication and selflessness in nurturing a child. On Guru Purnima, we celebrate the special bond between students and teachers. In today’s time, teachers have the greatest influence on students’ lives. They not only transfer knowledge and teach co-curricular and extracurricular abilities, but they also help kids develop the morals and life skills that help them deal with the outside world.
