The birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan came to be celebrated as Teachers' Day when some of his students requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday '5th September'. Dr. Radhakrishnan said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' day". Since then 5th September is observed as Teachers' Day throughout India.
