Teachers' Day is a significant event that is celebrated on 5th September every year in India. This day is celebrated to honour the major contribution of teachers that help us shape our lives and bring the vision to reality. Further, this day is celebrated to honour the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who was a respected scholar and the second President of India. He believed that teachers are the true pillars of society. 

Teachers’ Day is not just about remembering a date on the calendar as it also celebrates the people who light the path of knowledge for us. Whether it is a school teacher who introduced us to alphabets, a college professor who shaped our career choices, or even mentors outside classrooms who guided us in life, this day is dedicated for them all. 

In 2025, Teachers’ Day has become more important as the educational landscape is continuously evolving. Similarly, the role of teachers is also expanding beyond the books and exams. 

One of the most beautiful ways to celebrate is by sharing thoughtful wishes, messages, and quotes. A few kind words can go a long way in showing appreciation. While some prefer writing personal notes, others look for meaningful quotes by great thinkers that capture the spirit of teaching. Social media has also made it easier to share gratitude messages with teachers far and wide, making the celebration even more special.
