'Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society. ML Sharma of Central school Jaipur has been my favourite teacher. One can never tell where his influence stops. All I can say for him is that "better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher". My sincere regards to him.

'My teachers and my professors have been my mentors. But, even my daughter was inspirational. She started reading books when she was just three-and-a-half years old. No one taught her how to read. So, if
she could read so could other children ' there must be something common in all of them. It was she who inspired me to lead the Learn to Read campaign across the country
