HAPPY TEACHERS DAY.....

[Guest guest]

All across the world, Teacher's Day celebrations are undertaken to

commemorate the teachers for their efforts. By having celebrations on

Teacher's Day we convey the message that we care for our teachers.

Celebrating Teachers Day is recognition of the devotion with which

teachers undertake the responsibility of educating a child.

 

In India 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' day as a mark of

tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5th

September is the birthday of a great teacher Dr. Sarvapalli

Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education, and was the

well-known diplomat, scholar, president of India and above all a

teacher.

           

When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962,he was

approached by some of his students and friends and requested him to

allow them to celebrate 5th September, his " birthday " . In reply,

Dr.Radhakrishnan said, " instead of celebrating my birthday separately,

it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers'

day " . The request showed Dr.Radhakrishnan's love for the teaching

profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers'

Day in India.               Teachers have an influencing role in the life of a student. They are

like beacons of light guiding us in the formative years of our life. A

teacher moulds us and in the process shapes our future. What we learn

from our teachers remains with us throughout our life giving us

direction. But very often, we fail to show our appreciation and

gratitude for their devotion. Teachers do need encouragement and

support from the community to feel that their efforts are being

recognized. Towards this end only, Teacher's Day is celebrated

throughout the world. By celebrating National Teacher's Day we thank

our teachers for providing us their invaluable guidanc

          

Teacher's Day is one of the occasion on which teachers are praised. On

this day, school students dress up like their teachers and attend

classes acting like their teachers. As the day passes the students

perform the activities that are performed by the teachers. Sometimes

the teachers also sit in the classes acting like students, reliving the

time when they, themselves, were students. This goes a long way towards

creating an understanding between the teachers and their students.

 

Apart from the fun aspect of the day it is also a day when one can look

back, admire and get inspired by Dr. Radhakrishnan, a small town

cunning boy, who grew up to become one of the most respected

politicians in the history of democracy of India.-- OM  GURU  NATHASAI  GURU  NATHA
