Teachers’ Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a heartfelt reminder of the profound influence educators have on shaping lives, communities, and the future of our world. Celebrated in honour of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a great scholar, teacher, and former President of India, this day symbolises the deep respect our society holds for the teaching profession.

At its core, Teachers’ Day is a celebration of gratitude and recognition. It is an opportunity for students, parents, and educational institutions to pause and acknowledge the tireless efforts of teachers who go far beyond delivering lessons. They nurture, guide, inspire, and often become second parents to their students — offering not just knowledge, but also emotional support, life skills, and moral direction.
In today’s fast-evolving world, the role of a teacher has become more challenging and yet more critical than ever. Teachers are not only facilitators of academic learning but also mentors who help young minds navigate a complex and dynamic environment. Their influence shapes the citizens of tomorrow.
As the Head of the Institution, I am proud to work alongside dedicated educators who embody patience, passion, and purpose every day. Teachers’ Day gives us the chance to honour their commitment, celebrate their achievements, and remind ourselves of the transformative power of education.
Let us continue to value our teachers—not just on one day, but throughout the year—for the light they bring into our lives and the futures they help build.
