Gurubhyo Namaha...Teacher's Day Celebrations

A teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity, knowledge and wisdom in the pupils. The wise teacher does not bid you to enter his house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. Such is the importance of a teacher in one's life.

Teacher's Day is a tribute to the hard work and devotion of the teachers all year long, to educate a child. In India, teacher's day is celebrated on 5th of September every year. Indian Teacher's Day is dedicated to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a zealous advocate of education and one of the greatest scholars and teachers of all times, apart from being the first Vice President and the second President of India. Also, functions are organized in schools on the special day, where students present dance performances, dramas, and various other programs to entertain their teachers. This day provides for a healthy interaction between teachers and students as well.

As students, Abhyasites always identify the contribution of teachers in their life; they know well about the importance of their teachers at every milestone of their life. To pay tribute to their teachers, they have a showcased a beautiful programme for them on Teachers' Day.
