Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has congratulated teachers Thangaraj and Amudha on their selection for the National Teachers' Award.

Vijay said their selection recognised their dedication to education, innovative teaching practices and concern for student welfare. He described the award as a matter of pride for the state and its teaching community.

Indian Opinion Analysis
The National Teachers' Award is a central government scheme administered by the Department of School Education and Literacy. Each year, up to 50 teachers are selected through a rigorous process involving district and state committees. The award carries a medal, a certificate and a cash prize of Rs 50,000. Tamil Nadu has historically received a steady share of these awards, with teachers from both government and central schools often in the list. Thangaraj and Amudha will be honoured at a function in New Delhi on September 5.
