HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY

Teacher's Day: Celebrating Our Mentors on 5th September

Teachers are the foundation of a civilized society, shaping minds and building the future of the nation. To honor their contribution, India celebrates Teacher's Day on 5th September every year. This date marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, one of India’s most distinguished educators, philosophers, and the second President of India. His emphasis on the role of teachers in society led to the declaration of his birthday as Teacher's Day.

 Why is Teacher's Day Celebrated on 5th September?

Dr. Radhakrishnan was a beloved teacher and scholar. When he became President of India, some of his former students and friends approached him to celebrate his birthday. In response, Dr. Radhakrishnan suggested that instead of celebrating his birthday individually, it would be a great honor if it was celebrated as Teacher’s Day to recognize the efforts of teachers across the nation. Since then, 5th September has been a day to celebrate the invaluable contribution of teachers to society.

 The Role of Teachers in Society

Teachers shape the minds of the young, helping them grow into responsible and thoughtful citizens. They don't just impart knowledge but also instill values, ethics, and life lessons. Teachers inspire students to achieve greatness and make a difference in the world, nurturing not only academic growth but also personal and emotional development.

As Albert Einstein once said:  

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge."
