  2. Should we give awards for overall performance or subject-wise?  Which subjects?
  3. Should we pattern the system on the National Teachers' Award?
  4. The shortlist can be done by the Project Team.  For the final selection should we have a 6971-only judging panel or include eminent educationists?
