"Educational institutions are sacred places. Here, children are taught to become true human beings. So, the state government will not tolerate chaos in educational institutions. In this case, teachers also have important duties to perform," Saha said.

"Due to the strong efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is progressing in every field, including the education sector. At the recently held G-20 summit in India, the Prime Minister strongly expressed the desire to make India a global leader.
