Happy Teachers Day

A teacher is a friend, philosopher, and guide who holds our hand, opens our mind, and touches our heart. The contribution of a teacher cannot be ignored at all. In many countries across the world, teacher's day is a special day where teachers of schools, colleges, and universities are honoured specially. The universally accepted World Teacher's Day is 5th October. In India, the Teacher's Day is celebrated on 5th September and this tradition started from 1962. This is the when Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born. He was a philosopher, scholar, teacher, and politician and his dedicated work towards education made his birthday an important day in the history of India. We remember the great work of this exemplary person on this day.

Actually, this man, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a friendly teacher and he was popular among his students for the example he always set in front of them. So, one day his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday in a lavish way. In return he said that it would be his pride and honour if they celebrate his birthday in respect of all teachers. And since then this day 5th September is celebrated as Teacher's Day.

Teacher’s Day is celebrated to show gratitude and acknowledge the role of the teachers in our life. A teacher plays a pivotal role in moulding personality of a person. Though in the era of technology, paradigm has been shifted to digital learning but that cannot undermine the importance of teachers in our life.

All that is available on the internet is not correct. It is unable to make a person think rationally. Only a critical mind can create a rational soul. A Good teacher has blessed with a power to create a mind has the ability to think critically, analyse, learn the capability of distinguishing between right and wrong and can lead a person to attain ethical enlightenment.

On this day Indian society reminds and preaches the importance of Teachers as following:

A. Students are the backbone of the country. Students of today are citizen of tomorrow. To convert a student to a responsible citizen, the teacher has immense contribution.

B. Teachers teach their students who in turn become the responsible pillars of the society like Teacher, doctor, engineer, agriculturist etc.

C. Teachers act as one of the best motivators to their students towards blooming full.

D. As a counsellor role of the Teacher is significantly more purpose serving than others.

E. Only teachers can possibly be able to get back a student from addiction may be it a drug or digital to normal state.

As the objective of the nation is to have an improved and better society - it is teacher who can let Nation to achieve it.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher. Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Teachers help us to become high-quality professionals. Only professionally qualified people produce quality services and products. Which play the huge role in the economic development of the country.

There are often you see the bad customer support, cheap quality products, dishonesty cases with customers. These are really very bad people. Even politicians, movie stars support these people. We can’t change these people today. But we can lead and guide coming generation on the right path.

The right path is where customers are not cheated. Where good products are endorsed by good people. It’s tough even after giving a certificate of honesty.  We are influenced by some group of people to the wrong direction.

We need to understand that what is good for us along with society. Never make your decision inspired by politically people, never make decision-based on news channel or politically inspired dialogues.

We need to analyze facts and figures before taking a decision even before giving votes. Also, our election commission or authorities also need to test political leaders before giving them the ticket or authority to fight the election. It’s ok that I don’t have enough knowledge yet about such things. But today we all need good people in our government, businesses and in jobs. These people are not coming from another planet. All are coming from schools and colleges after taking degrees. Degrees are not a guarantee that someone is educated and know better than without degree people. Yes, education matter. But I think only practical education can develop the country.
