A teacher should get paid more than an IAS officer, says Sisodia

To present the teachers with meritorious awards, former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, was invited as chief guest with Delhi's Mayor, Dr. Shelly Oberoi, while Leader of the House Mukesh Goyal, and Deputy Mayor Aaley Mohammad Iqbal were also present in attendance.

Underlining the pivotal role teachers play in the nation's growth, Sisodia emphasised the crucial role of teachers in India's goal to become a developed country by 2047. Speaking at the ceremony, he advocated, "If we want to make India developed by 2047, teachers' salaries should be more than those of IAS officers. Teachers are the true pilots of students' lives, guiding them through the takeoff of their journeys." He further highlighted how countries that are developed today recognised the importance of education early on and invested in literacy for all.
