Teachers' Day also marks the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a philosopher, scholar, exemplary teacher and politician.

Teachers' Day is celebrated annually across India on September 5. This day also marks the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a philosopher, scholar, exemplary teacher and politician. Dr Radhakrishnan was also the first Vice President of India and the second President of India. He dedicated his life towards education and shaping up the youth of the country and his contributions in the field of education are exemplary. It was he who suggested to a group of students, who were eager to celebrate his birthday, to observe it as Teachers' Day. So, ever since 1962, schools and higher educational institutions across India observe the day by paying tribute to Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and also to all the teachers in the nation who toil to help students learn.

Notably, when Dr Radhakrishnan served as the President of India from 1962 to 1967, his students and friends asked him to let them celebrate his birthday on September 5. While he did not agree to a pompous celebration,  Dr Radhakrishnan said he would be happier if the day was marked as Teachers' Day. So, since 1962, Teachers' Day is celebrated on 5 September every year.
