Speech delivered by Dileep Ranjekar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation at the MES Teachers' College on 7 September, 2009

A truly developed teacher is conceptually so strong that even the rituals arising out of these concepts look very colorful, exciting and effortless. Mastery eliminates rigidity and provides flexibility."
