Every year on September 5, India celebrates Teachers’ Day to honour the tireless efforts and guidance of teachers across the country. India marks Teachers’ Day to celebrate the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was a distinguished philosopher, a famous scholar, and the second President of India.
When he became President in 1962, some of his former students and friends visited him. They asked for permission to celebrate his birthday as a special occasion. Instead of accepting personal praise, Dr Radhakrishnan made a humble suggestion. He requested that the day be observed as Teachers’ Day to honour all educators across the country instead of celebrating his own birthday.
Special programs are organised in schools, colleges, and other institutions on this occasion. Students share greetings, quotes, and messages to express their gratitude to their teachers and honour their guidance.
