She also pointed out that many institutions have joined the CTE family as Institutional life members comprising of 20 States including a few Union Territories (UT's) have a CTE Chapter of their own which is basically a body of teacher educators and teachers under training. The scope of membership has recently been widened to include teachers from all learning institutions-School, College, Universities etc.

She said that CTE is a voluntary organisation, which plays a significantly constructive role in supplementing the efforts of State agencies and also providing useful inputs in the development of policies and their effective implementation and more importantly contributes in creating a healthy professional culture.

Vij speaking on the occasion said that an aimless life is always a miserable life, so everyone should have an aim but, one should not forget on the quality of one's aim which will depend on the quality of one's life. He added that the aim should be high and wide, generous and disinterested which will make one's life precious to onerself and to others. "But whatever you're ideal is it cannot be perfectly realized unless you have realized perfection in yourself" he added.
