Teacher’s Day in India is celebrated on September 5, every year. Indian Teachers Day is dedicated to our former Indian President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. It marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.
The birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan came to be celebrated as Teacher’s Day when, one day, some of his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. In reply, Dr.Radhakrishnan said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege, if September 5 is observed as Teachers’ day". The request showed Dr.Radhakrishnan’s love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers’ Day in India. From then since 1962, India has been celebrating Teacher’s Day on 5th September.
