Teachers have an influencing role in the life of a student. They are like beacons of light guiding us in the formative years of our life. A teacher moulds us and in the process shapes our future. What we learn from our teachers remains with us throughout our life giving us direction. But very often, we fail to show our appreciation and gratitude for their devotion. Teachers do need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their efforts are being recognized. Towards this end only, Teacher's Day is celebrated throughout the world. By celebrating National Teacher's Day we thank our teachers for providing us their invaluable guidance.

Teachers day is a complete tribute to our teachers who put in their hard effort in give us knowledge. Teachers Day is a dedication to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education and was one of the most well known diplomat, scholar, president of India and above all a teacher. As a tribute to this great teacher, his birthday has been observed as teachers' day and this led to its origin. Celebrate this teachers day by sending teachers day ecards and teachers day quotes to the teachers you admire.

Teacher's Day, also called Teachers' Appreciation Day or National Teacher's Day, is celebrated on 5th of September in India. From then onwards, 5th of September has been observed as Teachers Day in India.
