Happy Teacher’s Day05th September 2015

To all the great teachers & those who aspire to be…

India has been celebrating Teacher's Day on 5th September, since 1962.

The day commemorates the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, a philosopher and a teacher par excellence, and his contribution towards Indian education system.

Dr Radhakhrishnan believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country". On this day, we gratefully remember the great educationist, apart from honoring all the teachers that have made our life much more knowledgeable and fulfilled, as serving as our beacons of light.

The birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan came to be celebrated as Teacher's Day when, one day, some of his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. In reply, Dr. Radhakrishnan said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teacher's day". From then onwards, Dr. Radhakrishnan's birthday is observed as Teacher's Day all across India. 

Indian tradition equates the teacher to god, as the

Sanskrit hymn goes "acharya devo bhava". There is no

denying the fact that the role of a teacher in a student's life is very crucial right from the time when a child joins a day care centre to the stage when he/she takes a step forward

towards establishing a professional career.

If I have been able to see farther than others, it was just because I stood on the shoulders of giants.. - Sir Isaac Newton

It feels proud to have so many scholastic shoulders with us….

The early growing years in a child's life are the most crucial

and lay the foundation for developing their nature,

personality and the individual self. It has been rightly said that

'children are the future of any country and teachers play an important role in shaping their

bright future’.No doubt we can say that they

are the building blocks, nay, the DNAs of our lives!

We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit to brighten the world…

Make us the brightest candles by showering knowledge..

We all love you & respect you all….
