Patna, September 5: BJP national president Nitin Nabin returned to his former school, Gyan Niketan in Patna, on Teachers’ Day to participate in a special programme and unveil a statue honouring late Acharya Kishore Kunal.
The visit carried a personal significance for Nabin, who recalled his early association with the institution and said returning to his alma mater on Teachers’ Day was an emotionally distinct experience. He said he was part of the school’s first batch when Gyan Niketan began its journey in Kankarbagh.
Nabin praised the institution for its contribution to education and said students who have studied at Gyan Niketan have gone on to establish themselves in different parts of the country, bringing recognition to both the school and Bihar.
Speaking about the statue of Acharya Kishore Kunal, Nabin said the memorial would serve as an inspiration for students. He expressed hope that young learners would strive to become capable administrators, effective communicators and socially committed individuals who contribute positively to society.
The BJP leader also reflected on the lasting influence of school life, saying that experiences and memories from the formative years remain deeply connected with a person throughout life.
During the Teachers’ Day programme, Nabin also interacted with students and distributed treats among them.
Teachers’ Day is observed in India on September 5 every year in memory of former President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, whose contributions as an educator, philosopher and statesman continue to be remembered.
