Digital Desk: Every year on 5th September, India celebrates Teachers’ Day to honor the inestimable contribution made by teachers in molding the minds of the youth and developing the future of the nation. This day commemorates  the birth anniversary of the eminent philosopher, scholar and the second President of the Indian Republic, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who believed that “teachers should be the best minds in the country.”


Teachers Day is not just the day of formal appreciation but the day of acknowledging the efforts, enthusiasm, and tenacity of teachers who just walk the line to lead students through the lessons in life and academics. From teaching the difference between right and wrong to inspiring dreams and instilling values, teachers hold a unique and irreplaceable position in society.


In India, the day is marked by heartfelt messages, school programs, greeting cards, and small tokens of appreciation from students and parents alike. It’s a moment of reflection on the influence teachers have—not just inside classrooms but across generations.


Interestingly, whereas India celebrates the Teachers Day on the 5th of September, the United States celebrates the Teacher Appreciation Day on the first Tuesday OF May, as part of Teacher Appreciation Week. The feeling, though, is the same: to thank those who build lives thoughtfully, wisely and devotionally.


Celebrations may vary, from thank-you notes to community events, but the essence lies in acknowledging the lifelong impact teachers make. Whether you're a student, parent, or simply someone whose life was touched by a teacher’s guidance, this day offers an opportunity to express sincere appreciation.


With the world changing, there is one thing that will always remain the same; teachers are the torchbearers who light the way for future generations.
