Sonepat geography teacher plots learning with discipline

Sunita Dhull, a post-graduate teacher (Geography) from PM Shri Government Senior Secondary School at Murthal Add in Haryana's Sonepat is one of 45 teachers shortlisted for the national teachers' award-2025, says a letter released by the Union ministry of education on Monday.

 

Speaking to HT, 52-year-old Sunita Dhull explained that she was a believer in "improve to proof and pay back to society" mantra that she learned from her father, a retired army man and late father-in-law, an air force officer. She will receive the award at a ceremony which will be held in Delhi’s Vigyan Bhawan on the occasion of Teacher’s day in September 5. Her husband works as a general manager in a multi-national company, son has completed BTech from Australia and daughter is doing BSC (psychology) from Ashoka University.

 

She joined as PGT (geography) in Haryana government in 2014 and previously she used to teach in private schools.

 

I used to think in practical and my students grasp concepts in a lighter spirit. I never heap pressure on them. I deal with human behaviour, scientific intelligence. This award is for my students, colleagues and my family members. Being daughter and bahu of defence personnel, discipline runs in our blood and I impart the same to my students. I have made notes and work sheets of each chapter," she said.

 

She mentioned that she has over 280 students who had chosen geography in Class 11 and 12.

 

" I am a professional teacher and I desire to spend my life for teaching. I wish to make my students multi-talented and they should imbibe good values," she added.
