Teacher's Day

Indians have always respected and idolized their teachers. Earlier, we used to call them 'Guru' and now 'Sir' or 'Madam' but the role of teachers has remained the same. They were, are and will continue to be our guiding light, creating conditions conducive to our overall development. We will always be thankful to them for their constructive support. It is as an expression of this gratitude only that we celebrate Teacher's Day in India.

Teacher's Day is a tribute to the hard work and devotion of the teachers all year long, to educate a child. On this day, we gratefully remember the great educationist, apart from honoring all the teachers that have made our life much more knowledgeable and fulfilled, as serving as our beacons of light. Indian Teacher’s Day is dedicated to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a zealous advocate of education and one of the greatest scholars and teachers of all times, apart from being the first Vice President and the second President of India. As a mark of respect to this phenomenal teacher, his birthday came to be observed as Teacher’s Day in the country.

We used to have a great function at school level to celebrate teacher's day and to honor the hard work that our teachers put up just to make our future bright. I take this opportunity to thank all my teachers and wish them a very Happy Teacher's Day. I shall always be grateful to them for helping me develop and reach the place where I am today. I thank them for believing in me and making me believe that I can.
