Teacher’s Day
- September 6, 2021
In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on September 5 to mark the birth anniversary of the country’s former President, scholar, philosopher and Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who was born on this day in 1888. When Dr Radhakrishan took the office as the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate September 5 as a special day. Dr Radhakrishnan requested them to celebrate this day as Teacher’s Day instead, to recognise the contributions made by teachers to the society. Owing to the pandemic restrictions schools and other educational institutions celebrated the day virtually.
