Dedicated to all the teachers who continue to teach students through new and innovative ways
during the covid-19 pandemic.
In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on September 5 to mark the birthday of the country’s former President, scholar, philosopher, and Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on this day in 1888.
Who was Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan?
Dr. Radhakrishnan was the first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and went on to become the second President of India (1962-1967). He was born in the erstwhile Madras Presidency near the Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu border. Being a bright student, he completed his education by winning scholarships, despite a lack of finances.
After completing his MA in Philosophy in 1908, Dr. Radhakrishnan taught the subject at Madras Presidency College.
He held the post of Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University from 1931 to 1936, followed by Vice-Chancellor of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 1939, succeeding in Madan Mohan Malviya.
This year, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, and schools being shut, the celebrations will be given a miss. However, virtual wishes and
greetings are a perfect way to tell your teachers you remember them now and always will.
Thankyou For Inspiring !!
Happy Teachers Day
