It is not for our family, it is not to secure a good position, it is not to earn money, it is not to obtain a diploma, that

we study. We study to learn, to know, to understand the world, and for the sake of the joy that it gives us.

Do you know why we celebrate Teacher’s Day on September 5th?

Must seem like any other day, right? Well no! September 5th is

Teacher’s Day. But, did anyone ever wonder why that day is

considered special and celebrated as Teacher’s Day?

As a mark of respect and to recognize teachers’ contribution

towards the society, most countries celebrate Teachers Day. In

India, we observe it on September 5th, the day President

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Virswami was born. It is said

that when Dr. Radhakrishnan became the

President (1962-1967), his students and friends wanted to

celebrate his birthday.

Known for his humility, he said, “Instead of celebrating my

birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is

observed as Teachers Day”. Since then, his birthday has been

observed as “Teachers Day”.
