On March 14, 2025, Ramakrishna Math, Thanjavur, organized a significant Values Education Programme for future educators. 80 B.Ed students from Marudupandiyar College of Education actively engaged in the event, which was centered around the theme “Shaping Excellent Students and Teachers.” The program aimed to provide valuable insights and inspiration to the participants.
Swami Vimurtananda offered guidance through a discourse on “Be and Make,” instructing the teacher trainees on effective learning methodologies and impactful teaching strategies for their future classrooms. Adding a practical perspective, Sri. Sudhakar Marur, a technology and innovation leader with the TATA group, shared his professional experiences, highlighting the crucial importance of the teacher-student relationship within the educational process. To further enrich the experience, several students showcased their creative abilities through poetry and public speaking performances.
As a concluding gesture, each participant received a book focused on teaching principles and a laminated portrait of Swami Vivekananda, intended as a source of blessing and encouragement.
