�In this competitive world, the teachers have to take the responsibility of helping our students to be talented, able and expert on all aspects. In order to enrich the academic environment of the State, teachers will have to take the leading role. For transforming the available human resources of the State, the values of traditionalism, culture and spirituality have to be ingrained in them,� he said.
Referring to the contributions of eminent linguist, the late Tabu Ram Taid, Sonowal said that he would remain ever important to society for his unparallel contributions. He also urged the teachers to foster an enabling environment for the State�s human resources.

The Chief Minister emphasised giving rational education to the students where they would be empowered to take right decisions and differentiate between right and wrong. He requested the teachers to teach their students to create a deterrent against superstitions, drug addiction, etc, so that students could lead a society that would be beneficial to the intellectual development of children.
