It is a day for students to express gratitude towards their teachers, often through special programs, events, and heartfelt messages.
National Teachers’ Day in India is celebrated annually on September 5th to honor the contribution of teachers to society.
This day commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India’s second president and a distinguished scholar, philosopher, and teacher.
Born in 1888, Dr. Radhakrishnan was a highly respected academic and an advocate for education, known for his efforts to bridge Indian and Western philosophies.
When Dr. Radhakrishnan became president in 1962, his students and friends wanted to celebrate his birthday in a grand manner.
However, he humbly requested that instead of celebrating his birthday, they dedicate the day to recognizing the hard work of teachers across the nation.
Thus, September 5th became a day to honor educators and their indispensable role in shaping the future of students.
Teachers’ Day celebrates the importance of education in society and recognizes the tireless efforts of teachers who inspire, mentor, and guide their students.
It is a day for students to express gratitude towards their teachers, often through special programs, events, and heartfelt messages.
Dr. Radhakrishnan’s legacy continues to inspire generations of teachers, reminding us of the pivotal role they play in building a strong and educated society.
