September 5th of every year is considered as Teacher’s Day in India. It is a day for showing gratitude, love and respect for the contributions and sacrifices made by teachers for their students. Schools, colleges and universities across India honor their teachers with gifts and awards for their accomplishments over the last one year.
Teachers Day is celebrated on different dates across the world, however, October 5th is considered as the ‘World Teacher’s Day’
Why is 5 September Celebrated as Teachers’ Day in India?
5 September is the birth anniversary of former President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. While he is known for being the first Vice-President of India and the second President of India, he was renowned as a great teacher before that. Each year, Teachers’ Day is celebrated in India in memory of Dr. Radhakrishnan.
An academic and a philosopher, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was awarded the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honour in the country, in 1954 and was nominated 27 times for the Nobel Prize. He wrote ‘The Philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore’ and he dedicated 40 years of his life to teaching before entering politics.
The reason for celebrating his birthday as Teachers’ Day is because of a story. According to the story, when Dr. Radhakrishnan’s students requested him to allow them to celebrate his birth day, he insisted that instead of celebrating his birthday separately, it would be a privilege if 5 September is observed as Teachers’ Day. Since 1962, India has been celebrating this date as Teachers’ Day.
