Teacher’s Day in India is celebrated every year on September 5, marking the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India’s second President and a renowned philosopher. This tradition began in 1962, when Dr. Radhakrishnan suggested that instead of celebrating his birthday, it would be a privilege if it were observed as Teacher’s Day. The day serves as a national tribute to educators who inspire and shape future generations. In 2025, the theme “Inspiring the Next Generation of Learners” underscores the evolving role of teachers in guiding students not just academically, but also in creativity, innovation, and character building.
