Teachers Day is celebrated in India on September 5th to honor teachers and the important role they play. It was established in 1962 at the request of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, who was a philosopher and former president of India, to celebrate his birthday. Schools hold various programs and activities to show appreciation for teachers, such as students dressing as teachers, surprise gifts, and cultural performances. Teachers are recognized for guiding students through different stages of life and helping them learn and grow.

1. A good teacher
is like a
candle,
it consumes
itself to light
the way for
others.

3. Those who educate children well
are more to be honored than
parents, for these only gave life,
those the art of living well.
- Aristotle

4. Teacher's Day is celebrated to show our
gratitude, love and recognition of the hard work
they put in to mould us.
The Indian scriptures says about the four
entities Mata, Pita, Guru and Devam (Mother,
Father, Teacher and God), where the position of
the god is next to the teacher.
It is impossible to think our life without
teachers because in every stage of our life, a
person will be there to guide us, teach us and
encourage us.

5. Origin
The birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan
came to be celebrated as Teacher's Day and some
of his students and friends requested him to allow
them to celebrate his birthday but he said,
"instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it
would be my proud privilege if September 5th is
observed as Teacher's day". So, since 1962
september 5th is Dr. Radhakrishnan's Birthday is
celebrated as teachers day in india.

6. Celebrations
