Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, former President of India and renowned educationist, said, “ Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be a privilege if 5th September is observed as Teacher’s Day.”
To honour his words, since 1962, India has been celebrating Teacher’s Day on 5th September, his birthday, as a symbol of tribute to the teachers for their contribution in shaping the future of the nation.
The Delhi Government has instituted awards that are given to Delhi teachers for expertise in teaching and involvement in extra curricular activities.
