Why Teachers' Day celebrate on 5-September

September 04, 2020

 Teachers' Day may be a big day for the appreciation of teachers and should include celebrations to honor them for his or her special contributions during a particular field area, or the community generally. 



The idea of celebrating Teachers' Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator. This is often the first reason why countries celebrate Teacher's Day today on different dates, unlike many other International Days. Different countries celebrate this day for different reasons. For instance, Argentina has commemorated Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's death on 11 September since 1915; while in India Guru Purnima is traditionally observed as each day to venerate teachers, the birthday of the second president Radhakrishnan (5 September) is additionally celebrated as Teacher's Day since 1962. Many countries celebrate World Teachers' Day, established by UNESCO in 1994, on 5 as their Teachers' Day.u 

Teachers’ Day celebrates the unique role that adults play within the lives of young minds and help shape the longer term of a rustic.

In India, Teachers’ Day is widely celebrated on September 5 to mark the birthday of the country’s former President, scholar, philosopher, and Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr. Radhakrishnan, who was born today in 1888.

The significance of today is ever-evolving, including taking lessons from life and making your experiences with the teachers you needed to shape you into who you become. For college students, the day also means getting roses, chocolates, gifts including handmade cards to profess their affection for his or her favorite teachers. For senior students, Teacher’s day is one of role reversal and celebration.

Who was Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan?

World Teachers’ Day is widely known on October 5, but every country celebrates the day on different dates. In India, September 5 is marked as Teachers’ Day as it’s the birthday of a highly-respected teacher, philosopher, and prolific statesman, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. Dr. Radhakrishnan said that “teachers should be the simplest minds within the country.”

Dr Radhakrishnan was the primary vice chairman of India (1952–1962) and went on to become the second President of India (1962-1967). He was born within the erstwhile Madras Presidency near the Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu border. Being a bright student, he completed his education by winning scholarships, despite lack of finances. After completing his MA in Philosophy in 1908, Dr Radhakrishnan taught the topic at Madras Presidency College.

He then held the post of Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University from 1931 to 1936, followed by Vice-Chancellor of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 1939, succeeding Madan Mohan Malviya.

He was knighted in 1931 and was awarded the Bharat Ratna -- the very best civilian award in India in 1954. He was made an honorary member of the British Royal Order of Merit in 1963.

Significance

The story behind Teachers’ Day goes that when Dr. Radhakrishan took the office of the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to hunt permission to celebrate September 5 as a big day. Dr. Radhakrishnan instead made an invitation of them to watch September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognize the contribution of teachers to the society.

Teacher’s Day is widely known across schools, colleges, universities, and academic institutions. Students placed on performances, dances, and host elaborate shows for his or her most-loved teachers.

This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and schools being shut, the celebrations are going to be given a miss. However, virtual wishes and greetings are ideal thanks to telling your teachers you remember them now and always will. On this wonderful , we wish you a happy teacher's day with warm greetings.

Awaken the missing teacher in you!

The most missed aspect of yourself is the missing teacher in you . Have you ever wondered, how much knowledge and  wisdom you carry ?

Years of experience you have shared , inadvertent nurturing you have done ...if you look back you will be able to

proudly reflect on the good work you have done selflessly On this teachers day, let us take to mentoring the youngsters and take them under our wings, formally, and somewhere take to gardening, like a gardener does to his plants.

In Germany, all senior professionals on retirement are lapped up by the academia/ universities , for they cannot get such concurrent experiential learning from the pure

academicians.
