Addressing the teachers at several places, Mahendra Kumar highlighted that ABRSM is India's largest teachers' organization, boasting over 18 lakh members across schools and higher educational Institutions across Bharat. He elaborated on several issues where ABRSM's intervention has successfully resolved problems and urged teachers to be role models for students, spearheading reformation in their schools under the 'Mera Vidyalaya Mera Teerth' initiative.
In an impressive program held in Poonch, teachers vehemently demanded a comprehensive review of the Annual Transfer Drive's Zonation criteria.

Additionally, the timely implementation of the Transfer Drive before July was strongly advocated.
