Teachers Day is celebrated on 5th of September every year in India. It happens to be the birth anniversary of the country’s former President, Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. Apart from holding the position of the nation’s most loved and respected president, he was also a teacher in many reputed universities. He adored children and children too loved him back. The day is celebrated as Teachers Day in India because once a group of students he taught requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday throughout the country in 1962. He instead suggested them to mark his birthday as teachers day. What is the importance of celebrating teachers day?Teachers are the backbone of a country’s growth. They shape the students of today to make them valuable citizens of tomorrow. There are many reasons why this day exists: -You can express gratitude: Teachers work painstakingly throughout the year. They encourage their students to become all-round sound citizens. On this day, the students can express gratitude to their teachers for all that they do for them.-It is a day to pay respect: Teachers are the mentors and role models in the lives of students.

Teachers play a vital role in shaping the minds of young children that go on to becoming the future of a country. In short, we can say that teachers help in the development of the nation. This makes it important to set aside a dedicated day when the teachers are given the recognition they deserve. Teachers Day is a day earmarked to honour the contribution of teachers in our lives. Duties undertaken by teachers in the upbringing of their students are immense and thus being recognized on a day dedicated solely to them is a step towards paying respect to their profession and the role they play in society. While internationally, the day is celebrated on October 5 every year, in India we celebrate it on September 5 as this day also marks the birthday of the former President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who contributed greatly to the bigger cause of the society. He was known as a man of many great qualities and attributes. On this day, a little note or gesture thanking the teacher can go a long way. Being surrounded by so much around us, we have forgotten to take a moment for expressing gratitude to the people who leave an impact on our lives. We can take this opportunity as a day to thank our teachers and express our love and care for them. Happy teachers day to one and all. Krishh Gupta XI G Manav Sthali School
