To commemorate the birth date of the India’s most distinguished twentieth-century scholars of comparative religion and philosophy, first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and the second President of India from 1962 to 1967, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, 5 September 1888, has been celebrated as Teacher’s Day since 19621 .
When he became the President of India, some of his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday, on 5 September. He replied, “Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teachers’ Day.”
Aapah Innovations wishes a very happy teachers day to all our Gurus who transformed us into what we are today and continue to inspire us!
