The lobby of the Indus World School of Business in Greater Noida is interesting. Apart from the many different inspiring posters on the wall...one really touched me.
I saw a mounted picture of a gentleman with the title 'Acharya Devo Bhava'. On a closer look I read the name of the person... 'Professor Ishwar Dayal'. Hadnt heard of the name before.
Suddenly it dawned that this person must have been a beloved teacher of the management of the college to be given that kind of space in the lobby and honoured. Acharya Devo Bhava means Teacher is God.
Aesthetically done...the picture merged with words written that described the teacher... catalyst, writer learner ...
Interesting to see such a thing. Rarely do you find teachers' acknowledged as publicly as this. This is not the first College to be set up...many others missed out in acknowledging people who mentored them at one time in school or college. Perhaps every school should put up the pictures of inspiring teachers of the school.
If not teachers then at least educationists like Maria Montessori. Every second school uses the suffix Montessori but i havent seen her picture in any of them...leave putting pictures of Piaget or Vygotsky.
Indus World School...interesting trend to start.
