Teacher's Day 2024: Teacher's Day is celebrated with great reverence and respect every year on 5 September in India. This day is celebrated as the birthday of the second President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on 5 September 1888 in Tiruttani. Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan showed a keen interest in philosophy during his education and became a professor of philosophy at the University of Mysore. His deep affection towards his students and his devotion to teaching them important qualities of life made him an ideal teacher. In 1962, when Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India, his students came to ask for permission to celebrate their birthdays specially. Dr. Radhakrishnan did not accept and suggested that his birthday be celebrated as Teacher's Day.
