Teachers Day 2024: There is a tradition of celebrating Teachers’ Day every year on 5 September in India. This day is celebrated to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the first Vice President and former President of India, scholar, philosopher, and Bharat Ratna awardee. Dr. Radhakrishnan was born on 5 September 1888.
On this special occasion of Teachers’ Day, we pay tribute to all those teachers who have given the right direction to our lives. Teachers are not only teachers of curriculum knowledge, but they are also guides of life lessons. Their hard work, dedication and art of teaching taught us how to move towards our dreams and make our place in the society.
On Teachers’ Day, special events are organized in schools, colleges and universities to appreciate the important contributions of teachers. On this day, students perform cultural programs and dances to show respect and gratitude to their beloved teachers. This day is also special for those who are no longer in school or college, as they get a chance to say thank you to their old teachers.
