The aim of the Indian Teacher Training Institute is to create a holistic philosophy by integrating Eastern and Western philosophies.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah attended the 6th Convocation of the Indian Institute of Teacher Training (IITE) as the Chief Guest in Gandhinagar, Gujarat today. 

Many dignitaries including the Governor of Gujarat and Chancellor of IITE Acharya Devvrat were present on this occasion.

Amit Shah said that only Prime Minister Narendra Modi can think of making Teachers' Education University. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has envisioned not only IITE but also Raksha Shakti University, Forensic Science University, Yoga University and Child University. 

He said that the Prime Minister has holistically considered about meeting the needs of all regions of the country through education. He said that the whole world thought of making doctors, engineers, management experts and scientists for education, but Modi has thought of making a professional teacher a complete teacher, a dedicated teacher and IITE was started. 

Amit Shah said that today 2927 boys and girls are graduating from IITE in eight different courses. It is a matter of pride that the number of girls in this is 2000. Also, out of 7 gold medalists, 6 are girls. He said that the country whose women are educated does not have to make any effort to educate that country because the first teacher of the child is the mother. He extended best wishes to all the graduating students for their bright future.

Amit Shah said that the aim of this Indian Teacher Training Institute is to create a holistic philosophy by integrating Eastern and Western philosophies. He said that according to our Vedas, good thoughts should be accepted from everywhere.
