SEPTEMBER 5,2025|SKY LINK TIMES|
Teachers are the guiding lights in our lives — shaping not just what we learn in classrooms, but also how we grow as individuals. They instill values, knowledge, and life lessons that stay with us forever. Every year, India observes Teacher’s Day on September 5 to honour their immense contribution to society.
Why is Teacher’s Day celebrated on September 5?
The date was chosen to mark the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India’s second President, a renowned philosopher, and an eminent educationist. Dr. Radhakrishnan dedicated his life to teaching and believed education was the foundation of nation-building.
When he became President of India in 1962, his students and friends requested to celebrate his birthday. Instead of allowing a personal celebration, Dr. Radhakrishnan suggested that the day should be observed as Teacher’s Day, to recognize the efforts of all teachers across the country. Respecting his wish, the Government of India officially declared September 5 as Teacher’s Day in 1962. Since then, the day has been celebrated nationwide with gratitude and joy.
Significance of Teacher’s Day
Teacher’s Day is not just about paying tribute to one man’s vision, but about recognising the role of teachers in shaping lives and futures. It is a reminder that behind every successful individual, there are teachers who have provided support, encouragement, and wisdom.
Across schools, colleges, and institutions, the day is marked with cultural events, speeches, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude. Students honour their teachers through performances, handmade cards, and messages of respect. In many places, awards and recognitions are also presented to outstanding educators for their service to society.

When was the first Teacher’s Day celebrated?
The first official Teacher’s Day in India was celebrated on September 5, 1962, soon after Dr. Radhakrishnan assumed the role of President. The tradition has continued ever since, making it one of the most meaningful observances in India’s cultural and educational calendar.
Teacher’s Day 2025
This year, Teacher’s Day will be observed on Friday, September 5, 2025. It is an opportunity for students, parents, and society at large to express gratitude towards teachers — both past and present — for their invaluable role in nurturing generations.
As Dr. Radhakrishnan once said, “Teachers should be the best minds in the country.” On this day, we are reminded of their lasting influence and the responsibility to support and value educators in every way possible.
