History of Teacher Day in INDIA - A day that is dedicated to the hard work that is input by the teacher all year long, a day that is a complete tribute to the teachers all around India. In India teacher day is celebrated on 5th of September.
Teachers Day is a dedication to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education and was one of the most well known diplomat, scholar, president of India and above all a teacher. As a tribute to this great teacher, his birthday has been observed as teachers' day and this led to its origin.
This day is just a mere reflection of
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's love for and attachment to the teaching profession. As a matter of fact
Dr. Radhakrishnan himself asked his admirers to celebrate his birthday not as his birthday but as the teacher's day.
Teacher's day is now one of the occasion that is looked forward by the teachers and students alike as on this occasion its not only when teachers are praised but also around various schools students dress up as a representation of their teachers and take various lectures that are assigned to the teachers they represent. As the day passes the students perform the regular activities that are performed by the teacher's.
On this day students realize what it means to be a teacher and what it means to control the future of several students in their classes and also teachers are reminded what it felt like when they were the students.
He was elected as the second President of India (1962-1967). When he became President, some of his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. He replied, “Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers’ Day.”
We can't forget our school days, even not our college days where we got the teaching for our whole life. Nobody can forget his / her teacher.
On this occasion, I just want to "thanks" to all of my teachers for their teachings, love and support.
