Teachers' Day is celebrated on the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Many people don't know about it, but then it was Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's idea to suggest a group of students eagerly waiting to celebrate his birthday. Since then, this day has been celebrated as Teacher's Day. When he was the President of India from 1962 to 1967, all his students and friends asked him to celebrate his birthday. He disagreed with them about a pompous celebration. Instead, Dr. Radhakrishnan said he would be much happier if the day were marked as Teachers' Day.
