New Delhi, Sept 4 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday cordially interacted with about 350 awardee teachers at his residence.

The Prime Minister said that if a society is to progress, its teachers must always be two steps ahead of time.
They need to understand changes happening across the world, and prepare the new generation accordingly by arousing curiosity in them, he added.
PM said a teacher never retires, and always continues to endeavour to teach the new generation.
The teachers also expressed their views on various aspects of teaching and what being a good teacher entails.
