India will celebrate Teachers Day on September 5 to mark the birth anniversary of former President Dr. S Radhakrishnan.

The first Teachers' Day was celebrated in India in 1962 when Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan began serving as the second president of India.

Teachers inspire us to proceed forward, to build our ethics and prepare us to withstand the obstacles of our life. Teachers impart immense knowledge and wisdom in our lives.

It is that time of the year when we honour and acknowledge the hard work and commitment put in by our teachers.

They are beacons of light in our professional as well as personal lives.
