Is It Teachers' Day or Children's Day for Modi?

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was one of the best scholars of 20th century in India, who initially started his career as a professor in various universities and finally, acquired the status of President of India. Every September 5 is observed as 'Teachers' Day' as a token of respect on him. However, this September 5 appears to be a children's day for the PM of India who has decided to interact with the children for two and half hours from 2:45pm onwards on September 5. It is known that strict orders have been issued to all managements of schools of India to telecast the live streaming of the program on September 5. Having gone through these instructions, some of the observers are expressing following doubts.

* Many schools of India have no electricity. Hiring generators is quite expensive.

* Many schools have the strength ranging from 500 to 1000 students. How many TV sets and radio sets should be arranged for this program? Can any one provide a large room which has the capacity of 500 to 1000 children to be sitting and watching the program?

* Many pupils are poor at Hindi spoken skills. There maybe a threat of making too much noise or sleeping while watching the program.

* Teachers have to struggle hard for the successful viewing of this program. Is it 'Teachers Day' or Teachers Punishment Day'?

* Does Modi wish to make indelible imprint of his brand image by troubling crores of students and teachers?
