The date of September 5th was chosen to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a respected scholar, philosopher, and India’s second President. Dr. Radhakrishnan was a staunch advocate of education and believed that teachers play a vital role in society.
The idea of celebrating Teacher’s Day originated when Dr. Radhakrishnan’s students and friends wanted to mark his birthday in a special way. Dr. Radhakrishnan suggested that instead of celebrating his birthday, it would be more meaningful to observe it as a day to honor teachers, reflecting his belief in the value of teaching and education.
Children of JSS SMEMS Vidyagiri, Dharwad joyfully celebrated Teacher’s Day on 5th September by expressing their gratitude towards their Teachers through captivating song, skit and dance performances, as well as thoughtful speeches.
