Teacher's Day Celebration

1 of 8

"The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself."

In India 5th September is celebrated as ‘Teaches Day’ as a mark of tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5th September is the birthday of a great teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education, and was a well known diplomat, scholar, President of India and above all a Teacher. 

When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962, he was approached by some of his students and friends and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5th September, his birthday. In reply, Dr.Radhakrishnan said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as “Teachers Day". The request showed Dr.Radhakrishnan's love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers Day in India.

Teachers mould the lives that they influence because the lessons learned from teachers remain with their students throughout life. We should always respect our teachers. Teachers need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their devotion to students is appreciated.

The celebration was held at Pioneer International School, Sonkatch. It is considered as "celebration" day, where students decorated the school campus with the decorative items like ribbons, hanging, balloons and many more on the eve of Teacher’s day. The next day the faculties were welcomed warmly. The students worshipped the idol of Goddess Saraswati. Each of the faculty had a greeting card on their desks wishing them a Happy Teachers Day.
