Essay On Teacher's Day



Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was an illustrious Indian scholar and teacher. In 1962, he became the second President of India. Some of his students showed keen interest in celebrating his birthday which was on 5th September and approached him with the same idea. Radhakrishnan then asked them to celebrate the day as Teachers’ Day instead of his birthday and that would make him feel honoured. Ever since, 5th September is dedicated to all the teachers across the country, and celebrated as Teachers’ Day.
