Covid Impact:

Unlike other years, most schools and colleges will conduct their Teachers’ Day programmes in virtual mode. In honour of their teachers, students will host special programmes and share their love online due to the pandemic. Social media, including Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, were flooded with wishes and messages this morning.

Teachers' Day:

Teachers’ Day is celebrated across the country in the memory of Dr S Radhakrishnan, a philosopher-author and India’s second president who was born on September 5, 1888. Also, his contributions to the field of education are exemplary. The tradition to celebrate Teachers’ Day started in 1962 to honour Radhakrishnan and other teachers.

'True teachers are those who help us think for ourselves,' Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan had said.

Happy Teachers' Day!
