In India, Teacher\u2019s Day falls on the 5th<\/sup> of September, the birthday anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Indian philosopher and statesman, he was the second President of India (1962 -1967). He was also the first Vice President of India (1952\u20131962).<\/p>\n

India has been celebrating Teacher’s Day in honor of\u00a0 Dr Radhakhrishnan since 1962. He advocated that “teachers should be the best minds in the country”.<\/p>\n

In India, schools wear a festive look with cultural activities planned to entertain Teachers. Awards are given, tributes paid with students showering teachers with gifts, greeting cards and bouquets.<\/p>\n

Teachers are honored with awards for their contribution towards the field of education and community in general. Tributes are paid for sheer dedication and commitment in shaping young minds by imparting academic knowledge.<\/p>\n

Schools in India enjoy a reversal of roles for this one day alone. Teachers take a back seat while students don the role of a teacher. Students come dressed as their favorite teacher expressing their appreciation for the educator.<\/p>\n

Bridging the gap between the East and the West, he\u00a0 is India’s most influential scholars of comparative religion and philosophy.\u00a0 Knighted in 1931, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan received the Bharat Ratna in 1954 and the Order of Merit in 1963. Indian tradition rightfully \u00a0places Teachers as important role models after one\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
