Teacher’s day is celebrated as a mark of respect to our former President of India Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was an eminent educationalist and a great teacher. As his birthday falls on the 5th September, every year Teacher’s day is observed on 5th September. The message that the students should learn to love and respect their teachers’ everyday of the year” is emphasized on this day.
When Dr Radhakrishan took the office of the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate September 5 as a special day. Dr Radhakrishnan instead made a request of them to observe September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognise the contribution of teachers to the society.
Ever since then, September 5 is celebrated as Teacher’s Day across schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions. Students put on performances, dances and host elaborate shows for their most-loved teachers.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. – Albert Einstein.
Just like memory, critical thinking, and intellect, the intuitive intelligence is a mental muscle we can strengthen, to unleash the innate excellence, where imagination and genius occur.
The true learning is to turn inward as IN is the only way OUT.
An education which does not teach us to discriminate between good and bad, to assimilate the one and eschew the other, is a misnomer. – Mahatma Ghandhiji
