The History of Teachers’ Day in India
Teachers’ Day in India was first celebrated in 1962, on the 77th birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Dr. Radhakrishnan was a renowned scholar, philosopher, and educationist who served as the second President of India from 1962 to 1967. He was a strong advocate for the importance of education and believed that teachers play a vital role in shaping the future of our nation.
When Dr. Radhakrishnan’s students approached him to ask if they could celebrate his birthday, he declined and instead asked them to celebrate it as Teachers’ Day. He said that he wanted the day to be a tribute to all the teachers in India who work tirelessly to educate our children.
Since then, Teachers’ Day has been celebrated every year on 5 September all over India. It is a day to honor and thank all the teachers who have dedicated their lives to educating our children.
