 “We have brought out autobiographies of two highly revered and respected octogerian teachers of the district who are still active by engaging themselves in various social welfare and literary activities after retiring from Bhola th College, Dhubri, with a view to enlighten the society and students as how hard it was to become true teachers who taught and groomed thousands of students in their lifetime. They deserve this respect and recognition,” Banerjee said.
