Teachers' Day is celebrated on September 5 every year, marking the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was the first vice-president and second president of India. A respected scholar and extraordinary educator, Dr Radhakrishnan received the highest civilian award in India, the Bharat Ratna, in 1954. Adding another feather to his cap, he was made an honorary member of the esteemed British Royal Order of Merit in 1963.
Why is Teachers' Day celebrated?
In 1962, a few students met Dr. Radhakrishnan on his birthday, shortly after he ascended to become India's president. The students visited him to celebrate his birthday. He suggested that this day should recognise and honour all teachers. Ever since, this tradition has been beautifully carried forward, and now, every 5th of September in India is celebrated as Teachers' Day.
