TEACHERS DAY IN INDIA
FacebookTwitterWhatsapp

Celebrating Teacher’s Day is a significant tribute to educators who play the roles of friend, philosopher, and guide in our lives. Teachers hold our hands, open our minds, and touch our hearts. Their contributions are immeasurable and indispensable. Teacher’s Day is observed in many countries worldwide, although the dates may vary. In our country it is celebrated on Fifth Sept. every year, the date of birth-anniversary of eminent scholar and former President SarvepalliRadhakrishnan (5th Sept,1888-17th April,1975).

Teaching is undeniably one of the most noble and influential professions globally. Teachers shape young minds, impart knowledge and wisdom, and instill values in students, moulding them into responsible citizens. Teachers are the architects of society, and without their able guidance, no community can flourish and progress. Therefore, the celebration of Teacher’s Day is essential to acknowledge their pivotal role in society.

The Forgotten Educators:  Urgent Action Needed for Vocational Teachers in  Kashmir          

August 3, 2025

A quality teacher embodies trust and possesses deep subject knowledge. A natural aptitude for teaching, an understanding of child psychology, and effective teaching techniques are essential qualities of a good teacher. A good teacher treats students with fairness, patience, and understanding, never losing his temper over mistakes. He respects students’ feelings, acknowledges his own errors, and acts as a mentor, reformer, and guide, in addition to being a dedicated tutor.

In ancient India, education thrived due to the sacred bond between teacher and student, a connection we lack today. To combat the indiscipline plaguing modern education, we must rekindle the ideal teacher-pupil relationship from ancient times. In Indian culture, a teacher is revered as a spiritual and intellectual guide, often worshipped by their students. This relationship fosters genuine devotion and respect.

Parents should actively participate in their children’s education, beyond relying solely on schools and teachers. Engaging in meaningful discussions and monitoring their progress is essential. Modern education should not only focus on securing jobs but also on building better human beings. Parents need to emphasize the true meaning of education to their children.

Finally, teachers’ interests and social status must be prioritized. This includes improved salaries, better perks, reformed service conditions, and elevated social standing. Only when society and governments address these issues will Teacher’s Day celebrations truly reflect their significance and relevance.
