My dear esteemed teacher colleagues, as you are aware that the Teachers’ Day is celebrated on September 5th every year across the country in the honor of Dr. Sarvapali Radhakrishnan, a great educator and scholar, whose contribution toward Indian education system is unforgettable. As President of India in 1962, some students requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday on 5th September. He said that, instead on celebrating my birthday, why not, it is celebrated as Teachers’ Day. After his statement, 5th of September is being celebrated as a Teachers’ Day all over India. This day is an occasion to acknowledge the commendable dedication of teachers towards their students as well as for celebrating and enjoying the relationship between teachers and students. Teaching is considered as the noblest profession in the world. Role of a teacher in every student’s life is great. Teachers not only teach them about subjects, but also help students to improve their knowledge, skill level, personality, confidence as well as shape them in the right perspective to get success in their professional career. I wish you all the success on this occasion, and expect a very good bright academic career ahead as a Teacher.
