Teachers' Day
 In India, 5 September is celebrated as Teachers' Day as a mark of tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5 September is the birthday of a great teacher, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education, and was the well-known diplomat, scholar, who rose to the position of the President of India and above all he was a Teacher.
When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962, he was approached by some of his students and friends and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5 September, his "Birthday". In reply, Dr. Radhakrishnan said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day." The request showed Dr. Radhakrishnan's love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers' Day in India.
Teachers mold the lives that they influence because the lessons learned from teachers remain with their students throughout life. We should always respect our teachers. Teachers need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their devotion to students is appreciated.
Teachers’ Day is also a day when one can look back, admire and get inspired by Dr. Radhakrishnan, a small town astute boy, who grew up to become one of the most respected politicians in the history of the democracy of India.
