Teachers' Day

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan believed that, "Teachers should be the best minds in the country."

Serving as the 1st Vice President of India and the 2nd President of India and receiving numerous honours from various countries, he is known to be one of the most successful people of India.

Might be shocking to know but Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan began his political career after his successful academic career nationally and internationally.

It's fascinating to know that on 5th September, 1962, when a few students and friends of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday, he said "Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teachers' Day." Hence, Teachers' Day is being observed in India since then.

Undoubtedly, teachers (gurus) have known to be the brightest guiding light to all their students and known ones. The Indian history shares with us immense knowledge regarding the power of a guru, the pure relation of guru-shishya and the main thing, not to be forgotten, whole hearted respect and truth. 

Knowledge shared by a teacher is not just a piece of knowledge, but a blessing in disguise which can only be earned with effort and sincerity.

Wishing all teachers a Happy Teachers' Day! 

A big Thank You for all your efforts to be the stepping stone to all learners.
