Jaipur: The state-level Shikshak Samman Awards 2026, scheduled to be held at Birla Auditorium on Sept 5, have been postponed following imposition of Model Code of Conduct for the upcoming urban local body (ULB) elections in the state. The awards are organised every year around Teachers’ Day to recognise teachers for their contribution to school education. Under the department’s award scheme, 189 teachers were to be honoured: 123 at the district level and 66 at the state level.The state is also expected to hold panchayat elections after the ULB polls. As the election process is likely to continue beyond the ULB polls, the awards ceremony is unlikely to be held before Nov.
