Speaking on the occasion, The Chief Guest Dr. Anil Kakodkar said, "Firstly I congratulate all the teachers here and elsewhere in India and am very happy that MCOA has created this platform to honor them. The future is Knowledge Era and the education sector has to evolve with the changing technological times. We need to catchup with the world in excellence in education and our students need to outperform in the international arena.

"Private coaching classes are an economy that is comparable to the total education budget of our country," he added.

In President's Speech, Prof. Sachin Karnavat talked about the progress in last 2.5 years under his leadership and membership which increased by more than 12.5 times and also said, "Education is the stepping stone to progress and I am glad that MCOA has created this platform to encourage and recognize the contribution of private teachers and honor them. Today's mainstream education system by the Government is becoming outdated and hence there is a need to use technology and even keep abreast with the industry requirement. Education has to be based on our ancient design 'Artha, Moksha Kaam and Dharm' for overall development of the student rather than marks. And the teachers have to understand this and not focus on making money alone. They have a great responsibility in shaping the future of our country by shaping the minds of the students. They have to themselves be a student and keep enhancing their knowledge to keep up with the future trends and train the students accordingly."

Celebrity Actor Shekhar Suman said, "Today I feel blessed and honored to be standing in front of all you teachers and addressing them. Teachers are Gurus and nothing is bigger than education. You have to be a student all your life & keep learning."

Speaking to an Awardee Ms. Veena Ledwani, a veteran teacher from Veena Tutorials in Kings Circle Sion, explained that today it is imperative to provide additional coaching to students with latest technological teaching aids and focus on the student's overall development rather than just marks. We, at Veena Tutorials, have evolved our training systems over time to maintain cutting edge for our students and are grateful to MCOA for recognizing my work, it makes me value my efforts and will motivate me to do even better to maintain the honor of this award.
