They spend five times more (₹144 lakh) to organise & advertise this event.

As per the statement of Deputy CM, the teachers had played an important role in distribution, vaccination and even played a duty at the Quarantine Center.
He further went on to say that even after performing all these duties, the teachers also conducted online classes.
In addition, he also said that teachers had paid for the student’s mobile recharge. Back in 2016, the number of these awards increased from 103 to 133.
However, the previous year i.e, in 2021, the limit to get an award has been reduced from 15 to 3 years. A total of 1108 teachers had applied for the award, out of which only 122 got selected.
They have not only worked shoulder to shoulder with the administration but have also done remarkable work on the vaccination front, at quarantine centres, in distribution of food, mask enforcement and airport duty.”
He further added, “While performing these duties, the teachers also continued to teach children online and did not let their education stop.”
He continued that “during the pandemic there was large-scale migration of people and many children went to other states.
The teachers worked to find these children, helped them return to Delhi, provided devices to those children who could not attend online classes and ensured that they had an internet connection.”
As per the official statement released by the government, the teachers who were awarded the “Face of DoE,” (Directorate of Education) award were Raj Kumar and Suman Arora.
Raj Kumar is a music teacher with a Delhi government school. Kumar has made his name in Guinness Book of World Records for playing non-stop sitar for 32 hours and 20 minutes.
While Suman Arora has a degree of Masters in Mathematics from IIT-Delhi. She helps Delhi government school students in cracking the IIT examinations.
As per the official statement, 5 teacher-educators from SCERT/DIET were awarded the ‘Teachers of Teachers’ award.
Moreover, 2 special awards were given to Bharti Kalra and Rani Bhardwaj. The duo has helped to provide devices to students and supported them in various ways during the Covid-19 Pandemic, so that the kids could continue their studies.
