S Birahari, in his presidential speech, emphasized on the role of teachers in taking part in the process of education as catalysts. He said that teachers were to work as catalysts under the pressure of moral and professional ethics instead of evading their duty.

"If we evade our duty, we can be punished under FR or SR provisions" he mentioned. 

Birahari continued that teachers as catalysts in this social process have to motivate other factors available in both formal and informal systems, also added that  any available moment of opportunity was to be utilized for the motivation of parents and family members to let them take part vigorously in education of their sons and daughters as well as their brothers and sisters. 

He opined that if every teacher of the state took that catalytic role all the time, a great change would naturally come in the field of education of the state. 

Unfortunately, he lamented, highly educated people, including teachers took a narrow social corridor in social life because of prevailing social environment limiting social intercourse and this was harmful for our society, that was to be dispelled with concerted efforts by our social agencies, he elaborated.
