India’s path to 'Vishwaguru' lies in empowering the left behind: Kailash Satyarthi

Nagpur, Sep 8 (UNI) India can emerge as a true Vishwaguru (world leader) only when the last and the most marginalized person in society is uplifted, said Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi.
Addressing the closing ceremony of the 'Shikshak Paryaveshak Prashikshan Varg' organised by the Laxmanrao Mankar Smruti Sanstha yesterday, Satyarthi urged over 1,400 participating teachers to view themselves as change-makers rather than mere educators.
“Like a matchstick that sacrifices itself to light the way for others, a teacher’s role is to ignite transformation in society,” he said.
