TEACHERS DAY
5 SEPTEMBER 2013
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.
Teachers' Day
is very important for all the people in India, as the teachers act as
foundation for creating responsible citizens and good human beings. It is
impossible to imagine our lives without teachers. They are the cornerstone of
our future. We can never thank our teachers enough for their immense
contribution in our life. Teacher's Day is celebrated to show our
acknowledgement and recognition of the hard work put in by our teachers towards
our development.
Schools all
over India celebrate Teacher's Day by allowing the senior students to pose as
teachers for a day. It is a fun-filled activity, which is enjoyed by both the
acting teachers and their junior students. On this day, students bring gifts
for their most admired teachers as well. It is an equally special day for
teachers, as they get to know how much they are liked and appreciated by their
students. Gifts to teachers include flowers, greeting cards and other items.
Some students also write poems and messages for teachers.
