Teachers' Day is celebrated on 5 September every year to mark the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the first Vice President of India (1952–1962), teacher, and philosopher. The day is celebrated to honor the bond between children and their gurus who influence their lives in many ways. Dr. Radhakrishnan was also the second President of India (1962–1967). Despite all his achievements and contributions, Dr. Radhakrishnan remained a teacher throughout his life. He believed that true teachers are those who help us to think for ourselves.
