Teacher’s Day: Let’s Thank our Teachers!!

Teachers since time immemorial have had a special place in the society. They have the instinct to recognize and nurture talent in children. For children, especially small children, their favorite teacher is the perfect person on earth. When they grow older, they look up to their teachers as instructors, advisors, guides and even friends. Duly, a special day is kept to honor and admire educators of schools and colleges, which is called as Teacher’s Day. It is celebrated across India on 5th September every year with great passion and pride. This day gives you an opportunity to express your gratitude towards your teachers. It is truly said that teaching is the most humble profession of all.


Celebrations for teachers and students 

Teacher's day is the occasion that is looked forward by the teachers and students in the schools and colleges. It is the special day devoted to pay tribute to the hard work of teachers. As the part of the celebration varied events are organized in schools and colleges. Students dress up like their teachers and teach in the junior classes. Teachers are also entertained in a number of ways where special programs like dance, drama and music are organized mostly by the students.

Why Teacher’s Day?

Basically, this memorable day is devoted to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, one of the greatest teachers and scholar of our country. He was a well -known a diplomat, scholar and above all a teacher. He strongly believed in promoting education and further improvising it. One day his students approached requesting him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. But, instead Dr, Radhakrishnan told them that not to celebrate his birthday separately, rather it would be his privilege if September 5th is observed as Teacher's day. Then since 1962, 5th of September is celebrated as Teacher's Day. This day reflects his love and attachment to the profession of teaching.
