To further the horizons of the teacher’s federation’s mission and, thereby, primary education, Shri Eswaran expanded the horizon to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).  In the SAARC organisation, he served as Teachers Association general secretary for 6 years; within 18 years, he served as General Secretary of AIPTF.  As a leader, he always showed exceptional camaraderie and fraternal spirit, which soon led to regional collaboration among teachers, synchronous sharing practices, and solutions for mutual challenges faced by primary teachers in the South Asian region.  These collaborative efforts further strengthened the regional relationship and spirit of teachers in Southeast Asia.
