President Droupadi Murmu will confer the National Teachers Awards on 48 school teachers at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on September 5, 2026. The Ministry of Education announced that the awards celebrate the contribution of teachers who have improved school education and enriched students' lives through their commitment and industry.
The 48 teachers were selected through a three-stage process at district, state and national levels by the Department of School Education and Literacy. They represent 27 states, seven union territories and six central government organisations. Of the 48 teachers, 26 are male and 22 are female.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The National Teachers Award, instituted in 1958, has been a key recognition for school educators. This year's selection from 34 regions and central bodies reflects the government's push to highlight grassroots teaching excellence. The award carries a certificate, a cash prize of Rs 50,000, and a silver medal. With September 5 being Teachers' Day, the event at Vigyan Bhawan will be closely watched for any policy announcements on education reform. The mix of 26 male and 22 female awardees shows near-gender parity in the selection.
