The awards, instituted in 1958, give public recognition to teachers working in primary, middle and secondary schools.
The scheme covers teachers of the schools affiliated to CBSE including teachers of independent affiliated schools situated abroad, CISCE, Sainik School, KVS, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Central Tibetan School Administration and schools run by the Atomic Energy Education Society, a Rashtrapati Bhavan release said.
The HRD Ministry's Department of School Education and Literacy organises function for conferring these national awards on teachers every year on the occasion of Teachers' Day.
Tomorrow's function will be held at Vigyan Bhavan in the national capital.
'Special Awards' were instituted in 2001 for teachers promoting inclusive education in schools and the education of children with disabilities in regular schools.
