Do you know why Teacher’s Day is celebrated on 5th September?

Teachers’ Day is celebrated on September 5th in India as a mark of tribute to the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. It is a day to celebrate the effortless contribution of teachers in shaping the future of our nation. The tradition of celebrating the Teachers began on 05th September 1962.
When Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962, some of his students and friends requested him to let them celebrate his birthday. In response, Dr. Radhakrishnan humbly suggested, “I would be honored if you celebrated my birthday as a mark of respect to all the educators across the country, that is, Teachers’ Day.” This choice reveals his deep-seated love and reverence for the teaching profession. Consequently, September 5th has been designated as Teachers’ Day in India since then.
