September Important Event: Teachers Day
This year, Teachers' Day will be observed on Thursday, September 5. This date is consistently celebrated each year as it marks the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a former President of India who was also a distinguished teacher and philosopher.
Teachers' Day is highly significant in Indian culture, reflecting deep respect for educators who are viewed as guiding forces in students' lives. On this day, students nationwide pay tribute to their teachers by organising special events, performances, and speeches to express their appreciation. Schools and colleges come alive with celebrations, where students often step into the roles of teachers to understand the responsibilities and challenges faced by educators.
