2.       Guru Vandanam:  The list of retired teachers in our area who are above 70 years of age is ready. The list of those who are above 65 is being prepared. If we take all the retired teachers, there are more than 100. The spirit of honour gets aborted if there is huge number. Therefore, it is recommended to honour the retired teachers in different phases. This is why the list is taken in phases.
