3. To all the great teachers & those who aspire to be…
4. India has been celebrating Teacher's Day on 5th
September, since 1962.
The day commemorates the birthday of Dr
Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, a philosopher and a
teacher par excellence, and his contribution
towards Indian education system.
Dr Radhakhrishnan believed that "teachers
should be the best minds in the country". 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.
5. The birthday of Dr Sarvepalli
Radhakhrishnan came to be
celebrated as Teacher's Day
when, one day, some of his
students and friends requested
him to allow them to celebrate his
birthday. In reply, Dr.
Radhakrishnan said, "instead of
celebrating my birthday
separately, it would be my proud
privilege if September 5th is
observed as Teacher's day".
From then onwards, Dr.
Radhakrishnan's birthday is
observed as Teacher's Day all
across India.

8. Indian tradition equates the
teacher to god, as the Sanskrit
hymn goes "acharya devo bhava".
There is no denying the fact
that the role of a teacher in a
student's life is very crucial
right from the time when a child
joins a day care centre to the
stage when he/she takes a step
9. If I have been able to see farther than others,
it was just because I stood on the shoulders of giants..
- Sir Isaac Newton
It feels proud to have so many scholastic shoulders with us….
10. developing their nature,
personality and the individual self.
It has been rightly said that
'children are the future of any
country and teachers play an
important role in shaping their
bright future’.
No doubt we can say that they are
the building blocks, nay, the DNAs
of our lives!
11. We must view young people
not as empty bottles to be filled,
but as candles to be lit to brighten the world…
Make us the brightest candles by showering knowledge..
12. We all love you &
respect you all….
