Modi suggested that teachers could involve students in the process of selecting the top 100 tourist destinations in the country, encouraging them to learn about different places they could visit on educational trips.

The awarded teachers were selected after a long process as their efforts can prove useful in implementing the new National Education Policy (NEP), Modi said, noting that many others will go on to do excellent work.

He told teachers to take their students to nearby universities and watch sporting events there because such an experience can spark their dreams.
