Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan was a great teacher who had spent around 40 years of his 
life in the teaching profession. He was well known about all the roles and contributions of 
the teachers in students life. So, he was the first person who thought about teachers and 
requested his birthday means 5th of September to be celebrated as the Teachers day every 
year. He was born on 5th of September in 1888 and started his career as a philosophy 
teacher by entering to the teaching profession at his 21 at Presidency College, Chennai in 
1909. 
He taught philosophy in many famous universities of the India as well as and abroad like 
University of Chennai, Kolkata, Mysore, Benares, Oxford in London, etc. Because of his 
committed dedication towards the teaching profession, he was appointed as the Chairman 
of University Grants Commission in 1949 in order to recognise his valuable services. 5th of 
September was started celebrating as the teachers day from 1962. After serving the nation 
for a long period of time through his great services, Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan passed away 
in 1975 on 17th of April. 
Teachers are like real potters who not only give our life a shape, but also enable to lit like a 
lamp forever after dispelling the darkness from all across the world. So that, our nation can 
be enlightened with lots of bright lamps. Therefore, the nation pays homage and respect to 
all the teachers in the country. We can nothing give our teachers in return to their great 
job however; we should respect them always and say thanks. We should take a pledge to 
heartily respect and honour our teachers in our daily lives as without a good teacher we all 
are incomplete in this world.
