President to award 48 teachers on Teachers’ Day
President Droupadi Murmu will confer the National Teachers Awards on 48 school teachers at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on September 5, 2026. The awards are given by the Ministry of Education to recognise teachers who have improved the quality of school education and enriched students' lives, the ministry said.
The 48 teachers were selected through a three-stage process at district, state and national levels. They come from 27 states, seven Union Territories and six central government organisations. Of the 48, 26 are male and 22 are female. The Hindu reports the full list of awardees.
Telugu360 reports that two teachers from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are among the awardees: Rajesh Kouluri from Mandal Parishad Primary School in Chinamallupeta, Andhra Pradesh, and Bhavani Bompelly from MPPS Girls, Gandhari, Telangana. Short documentaries on each awardee will be screened during the ceremony.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both The Hindu and Telugu360 report the same facts neutrally. The Hindu leads with the national list and the selection process, while Telugu360 leads with the two local teachers, naming them and their schools. The framing difference is purely geographic: one is national wire, the other is regional. Neither outlet offers any critical or political angle. The awards are a routine annual event. What to watch: the screening of documentaries on each teacher, which is a new addition this year.
