An annual teachers’ competition to highlight the best practices among us and learn from each other.
Guru Manthan
The Guru Manthan recognises the teacher as an important stakeholder in our education system, perhaps the most important after the student. It is the “Manthan” of ideas, experience and opinions of teachers, educationists and policymakers that keep the ball rolling in our journey in the pursuit of excellence and makes the journey an enriching one.
” The Guru Manthan is a platform to bring out the very best among our teachers in a classroom and document these practices for reflection, review and learning by peers and the next generation of teachers. “
