On Teacher's Day the govt of Karnataka has granted state teachers the privilege of using the 'Tr' prefix to their name. The govt has rightly bestowed the privilege on teachers who have rendered selfless services and have touched the lives of virtually all people. The government of Goa would do well to emulate the example of the Karnataka government and permit teachers to use the 'Tr' prefix in the State. The central govt too should recognise the services of millions of teachers in the country.
