🌸 Teachers’ Day 2025: Celebrating the Guiding Lights of Our Lives

 

Every year on 5th September, India celebrates Teachers’ Day to honor the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan—a renowned philosopher, teacher, and the second President of India. This day is dedicated to expressing gratitude to teachers who shape our lives with wisdom and values. 🌼

📜 When and How Teachers’ Day Became Official

Teachers’ Day in India was first celebrated in 1962, the year Dr. Radhakrishnan assumed the office of President of India.

When his students and friends requested to celebrate his birthday, he humbly suggested:

“Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers’ Day.”

Since then, 5th September has been officially observed as Teachers’ Day across India, honoring the contributions of teachers, mentors, and guides.

✨ Why Teachers’ Day Matters

Teachers are the true architects of society. They not only share knowledge but also shape values, inspire dreams, and build character. A good teacher lights the way, turning curiosity into wisdom and challenges into opportunities.

🌍 How Teachers’ Day is Celebrated

• Schools & Colleges organize cultural programs, speeches, and plays where students express gratitude.

• Students often bring cards, flowers, or small gifts as a token of appreciation.

• In some places, students even take the role of teachers for a day—a fun tradition symbolizing respect.
