Lucknow: If you think that cafés are meant for sipping coffee amid gossips, ask any alumnus of King George’s Medical University (KGMU) for whom teaching never stopped during the day.
Be it a coffee shop or hostel gate or a brief walk through the campus – teachers used to make use of every opportunity to answer students’ query on complicated medical topics.
Speaking on “Guru-Shishya Parampara – A Georgian Perspective” at the function on the campus to mark Teachers’ Day, head onco-surgery department, Prof Arun Chaturvedi said, “There was relentless teaching. The day was spent in classroom teaching, but even after that if any teacher would walk into the café in the evening, she/he would sit with us and start answering our queries. Even in the night, if by chance, a teacher would come across us at hostel gates, he would start explaining medical topics.”
KGMU vice-chancellor Lt Gen Dr Bipin Puri said that Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan on whose memory the day is celebrated said that teaching is not a profession but a purpose.
Lucknow University V-C Prof Alok Rai, who was chief guest on the occasion, said a teacher’s responsibility was not just to impart education but also make students morally strong.
Best teachers felicitated
Based on online voting by 400 students of MBBS and BDS, five serving teachers were felicitated with “best teacher award”. The teachers are – from medical science Dr Sarvesh Singh (pharmacology) and Dr Garima Sehgal (anatomy); from Dental science Dr Neeraj Mishra (prosthodontics) and Dr Fahad Mansoor (oral pathology) and from paramedical faculty Anugrah Charan. Besides, KGMU V-C Lt Gen Dr Bipin Puri honoured two retired teachers – Prof Rakesh Kumar Chak and Prof Urmila Singh – with best faculty award on the recommendation of Alumni Association.
