Greetings For Teachers Day

A teacher
Takes a hand……
Opens a mind……….
And touches a heart.
You are one such teacher for me!
Thanks for being there!
Happy Teacher’s Day!

India has been celebrating Teacher’s Day on 5th September, since 1962. The day commemorates the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, a philosopher and a teacher par excellence, and his contribution towards Indian education system. Dr Radhakhrishnan believed that “teachers should be the best minds in the country”. On this day, we gratefully remember the great educationist, apart from honoring all the teachers that have made our life much more knowledgeable and fulfilled, as serving as our beacons of light.

The birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan came to be celebrated as Teacher’s Day when, one day, some of his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. In reply, Dr. Radhakrishnan said, “instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teacher’s day”. From then onwards, Dr. Radhakrishnan’s birthday is observed as Teacher’s Day all across India.

Teachers Day has always been an important day for those who value their teachers and are thankful for their invaluable support and assistance, in making their life worthwhile. Teachers have been the light bearers to the students since ages. They have been managed to mold the life of innumerable people, in a positive way.
