Teachers' Day is celebrated on 5th September to commemorate the birth
anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was a renowned scholar,
recipient of Bharat Ratna, first Vice- President, and second President of
independent India. He was born on 5 September, 1888. As an educationist, he was
a distinguished envoy, academician, and above all a great teacher. Even our
Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes that “Teaching is not a profession but a
way of life” “Jeevan Dharm” and asked teachers to understand changes happening
across the world so that they can prepare the new generation to face them. He
also said that India should regain the status of ‘Vishwaguru’ (leader in
education) by giving high respect to teachers whom he asked to encourage
students to think critically about issues concerning the world.
For the first
time the teacher's Day has been celebrated under Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, by
organising a cultural event by teachers at district level under the DPCs to
motivate the teaching staff working under Samagra Shiksha and provide an
opportunity to them to interact with each other and showcase their talent in the
form of cultural activities performed by them.
It is pertinent to mention here
that the teachers working under Samagra Shiksha (teachers of KGBVs, IED,
Vocational Teachers, Part Time Instructors, BRPs, ABRCs, Educational Volunteers
for OoSC, etc.) never availed this opportunity before. The name of the event had
been given as “Teacher Salutation Programme
