Remembering the second President of India, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan every year (since 1962) his birthday on September 5 is celebrated as Teachers' Day in India. For those who don't know, Dr Radhakrishnan was a great teacher, philosopher, and political leader of his time and he believed that "Teachers should be the best minds in the country". In fact, when his friends and followers wanted to celebrate his birthday once, he said that he would be honoured if instead it would be celebrated in honour of our gurus and teachers in our lives. And thus, September 5 is celebrated as Teachers' Day across the country. And aptly so-- since our teachers are the ones who have untiringly worked upon us and shaped us into the people that we are today.
In honour of teachers and the immense work they put in shaping children and their futures, here we list down some beautiful quotes by famous authors that truly describe the importance of teachers in our life. Read on to know more!
