Teacher's Day
Teachers'
Day is celebrated as a tribute to the valuable contribution made by
teachers to the society by imparting knowledge and enlightening and
shaping the career of students. For
students, Teachers' Day is an occasion to pay reverence and gratitude
to teachers for their selfless effort in shaping their career and
enriching the education system in the process. In India, Teachers' Day is celebrated on the 5th of September every year. India
celebrates Teachers' Day as it is the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a prominent thinker,
philosopher and an educator. Across the nation tributes are paid to
noted scholar and former president Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan to celebrate
his birth anniversary. Dr. Radhakhrishnan believed that "teachers should
be the best minds in the country".
The ceremony usually kicks off with a warm Teachers' Day speech paying respect and thanking teachers for their contribution. This is often followed by a range of colourful cultural programs, feast and other activities which make the event special and memorable. |
