Teacher's Day is a day to celebrate and honour the teachers of our lives, from whom we have learnt lessons not just for our exams but for life. It is observed on September 5 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who was born on this day in the year 1888.  Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was India's first Vice President and he also served as the second President of India.

Teacher's Day 2023 marks the 135th birth anniversary of Dr Radhakrishnan. The day is based on his belief that teachers should be the best minds in the country. The significance of the day is that it is dedicated to all the teachers, gurus and mentors who guide the successors to become better human beings. Although students are required to report to school, classes are replaced with some fun activities to honour the teachers for their hard work and to build a bond between students and their teachers.
