A great teacher inspires us


Teacher’s day is celebrated in India on the fifth of September with much enthusiasm and respect. Student exchange Bouquet to teachers to show their love and appreciation to them. 

This day is observed by different countries in different dates. Pakistan and Germany celebrate teacher’s day on the 5th of October. China celebrates it on the 10th September while Brazil celebrates it on 5th of October.

Teacher’s day reminds us Indians of the birthday of  Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan who was a teacher par excellent. He was a staunch believer of education a diplomat and a scholar. When Dr. Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962, some students approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate his Birthday. In reply he said “"Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day". This request from Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan shows his love for the teaching profession and the importance of genuine teachers.

An average teacher teaches but a real teacher is the one who guides and inspires the students.
Thank you for being such wonderful teachers, exemplary role models and caring people, Thank you for imparting your knowledge, thank you for your love appreciation , word of encouragement and approval.
