On this Auspicious day of 5th September, let’s commemorate our beloved teachers who have put every pinch of sweat and blood into moulding the futures of the nation. Let’s bow down to those who have bestowed unconditional and unrivaled effort for us students’ wellbeing through most of their lives. They have bigger issues in their daily lives and yet they show up to the class right on time with the exact same energy that they had on the first day of classes. We often take them for granted but it is only when we move further ahead in life we acknowledge how they have bolstered our future with their own hard work. Let us immortalize and salute some of the infinitely many teachers from Kota who have always looked up to Kota as an education hub and not some factory and have founded the most prominent institutes in Kota.

When VK Bansal was diagnosed with a rare ailment of muscular dystrophy in his mid-20s, was worried about not being able to lead a professional life so early on in his career. Why not start teaching at home, asked a family friend, a doctor.  Bansal thought about it and was immediately on board. Between 1983 and 1985, he started teaching students at his home. He would teach Mathematics and tips and tricks on how to crack the engineering entrance examinations. His passion for teaching and ability to keep students engaged in his classroom by his songs and inspirational stories is what pass-outs from Bansal Classes recount.
