Bhubaneswar: Teachers’ Day is celebrated in India on September 5 every year to mark the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was the first Vice-President and the second President of India. He was also a teacher, scholar and philosopher.

When Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan took the office of the President of India in 1962, his students sought his permission to celebrate his birthday as a special day. However, he suggested them to observe the day as Teachers’ Day.

Since then, September 5 is being celebrated as Teachers’ Day across schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions.

Teachers’ Day Speech

Good morning to one and all. Today is an auspicious occasion where we get a chance to acknowledge the hard work of the teachers who mould the students into future leaders. This day is known as the “Teachers’ Day” which is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the second president of Independent India, who himself was a teacher, philosopher and educationist.

Teachers are the pillars of a country. They guide and shape the destiny of the students. They teach them to become better human beings. They are the reason behind the successful career of a student. Teachers like S.Radhakrishnan and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam are some of the renowned names that have given meaning to the word “teacher”.

Teachers are not necessarily present only in schools. Everyone around us teaches something or the other. The greatest of all teachers is ‘life’ that teaches us the art of survival. Parents are our prime most teachers. Our friends, nature, animals, our mistakes, everything is a teacher in some form or the other. Today is the day to honour all of them.

I take privilege in wishing all our mentors in the school and across the country a very happy teachers’ day. Teachers are a blessing in disguise. They are the guiding light that brightens our lives all through. Teaching is actually a way of life, and not just a profession. We are fortunate to have been blessed with such wonderful teachers who are always up for grooming the students into the finest individuals. We pray for their well-being and success, and shower immense respect today and always.

Thank you.
