The idea of praising Teachers’ Day took its origin in many countries during the 19th century. In 1809, Friedrich Fröbel founded the first kindergarten in Bad Blankenburg, Germany. Today, Teachers’ Day is celebrated around the world to appreciate teachers for their contributions to education and moulding young minds.
For the first time in the year 1962 in India, Teachers’ Day was celebrated on September 05 to mark the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a philosopher and second India’s President. He was also one of the most distinguished scholars in academic circles.
Since then, the day is celebrated annually to acknowledge the contribution of teachers in shaping the future of students. Teachers’ Day is also an opportunity for students to express their gratitude toward their teachers. On this day, various activities and programmes are organised in schools and colleges across the nation
