Teachers play an important role in shaping a person’s life. In India Teachers day 2020 will be celebrated on September 5, 2020. The day is celebrated globally on October 5 but in India, it is celebrated every year on September 5 to mark the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was the First Vice President of India and the Second President of India and a true educationist at heart. His friends and former students approached him and requested to let them celebrate his birthday.

Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan had mentioned that it would be his proud privilege if the day is observed as a teachers day in India instead o celebrating his birthday. Since then the day is being observed as a Teachers Day in India.
