In a historic moment of pride for Tripura and the North East, Bidisha Majumdar, a dedicated educator celebrated for her innovative classroom practices, has been conferred with the prestigious National Award for Teachers 2025. The award was presented by President Droupadi Murmu at an illustrious ceremony held at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, on the occasion of Teachers’ Day.
The annual National Awards for Teachers is one of the highest recognitions bestowed upon school educators in India. Every year, a select group of teachers from across the country are honoured for their contributions to the field of education, their exceptional teaching methods, and their ability to inspire students both academically and personally. The awards reflect not only the dedication of individual teachers but also the evolving vision of Indian education in the 21st century.
This year, a total of 75 teachers from different parts of the country received the award, representing the diversity of India’s educational landscape. From integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence in classrooms to preserving and promoting local culture and heritage through education, the awardees symbolized the breadth of innovation happening in schools across the nation.
Among this distinguished group, Majumdar’s recognition stood out as a proud achievement for the state of Tripura. She is one of only nine teachers selected from the North East region this year, highlighting the growing contributions of educators from the area in shaping the nation’s academic future.
A Teacher Beyond Textbooks
Colleagues and students fondly describe Bidisha Majumdar as a teacher who goes “beyond textbooks.” Known for her student-centric approach, she has been applauded for blending traditional pedagogy with modern teaching tools, creating an environment of holistic learning. Whether it is sparking curiosity in young minds through activity-based methods or instilling values of empathy and social responsibility, Majumdar has consistently pushed the boundaries of conventional teaching.
Her classroom practices emphasize not just academic excellence but also the nurturing of creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork among students. By combining local cultural knowledge with contemporary learning strategies, she has helped her students build confidence and prepare for real-world challenges.
Recognition from Leaders and Community
The award has been widely celebrated across Tripura. Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury took to social media to congratulate Majumdar, calling her achievement a moment of pride for the entire state. Messages of appreciation have also poured in from members of the teaching community, who view the recognition as an encouragement for educators to continue innovating in their classrooms.
The Ministry of Education, which organizes the award ceremony every year, has emphasized the need for teachers to adopt modern, technology-driven methods while staying rooted in cultural values. The winners, including Majumdar, serve as role models for thousands of teachers across the country.
The Changing Face of Indian Education
In recent years, the government has actively encouraged teachers to incorporate digital tools, experiential learning, and community participation in their teaching methods. The 2025 awardees were chosen not just for their dedication but also for embracing these reforms and demonstrating how education can empower future generations.
Majumdar’s recognition also reflects a broader shift in India’s educational priorities—valuing teachers who act as mentors, innovators, and community leaders rather than mere transmitters of textbook knowledge. By highlighting her work, the award reaffirms the belief that education must evolve with the times while remaining rooted in values that shape responsible citizens.
