In the year 2015, I was transferred to this school in Titabar which is just one kilometer away from my house. At that time, the then Deputy Commissioner of Jorhat, Vishal Basant Solanki had helped me in my appointment here. He further says. During these 18 years of service, I had many good and bad experiences. But every moment spent with children is the most beautiful time of my life.

Best Teacher Award became a memorable moment

Sanjeev says about these responsibilities. I look after the mid-day meal arrangements in the school. I perform the responsibility of cleanliness and also assist in other administrative works. In the year 2025, I was honored with the Best Teacher Award of Jorhat district, which is a very memorable moment of my life.

Give equal importance to social service
