Teachers' Day 2025: What Is The History?

Teachers' Day is celebrated on the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was an esteemed educationist. His personality evoked great respect from his students. It was he who suggested to a group of students, who were eager to celebrate his birthday, to observe it as Teachers' Day.

When Dr Radhakrishnan served as the President of India (1962 to 1967), his students and friends asked him to let them celebrate his birthday on September 5. While  he requested that his birthday should not be observed as a personal celebration, but instead, to be dedicated to honour the teachers of the country.

Hence, since 1962, schools and higher education institutions across India celebrate this day by paying tribute to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and all the teachers in the country who work hard to help students learn.
