On Teacher’s Day, September 5 every year, we honour our teachers who contribute the maximum to students’ overall developmen­t. Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrish­nan, the second President of India, and a teacher par excellence, was born on this day.

A teacher has a great impact on the overall growth, developmen­t and well-being of the students, society and the country. A teacher is the beacon in the dark that gives the students courage and strength to lead their life as a role model. Students can never repay the contributi­on of their teachers who fill their hearts with the light of knowledge and remove ignorance.

Parents give birth to a child, but it is the teachers who mould the child’s personalit­y. Apart from academics, teachers always stand by their students at every step to guide, motivate and inspire them to become better person in the society and achieve success in their profession­al career.

A teacher being strict with students at times does not mean that the teacher dislikes them, but want to prepare them for a greater challenge ahead, and to build a strong foundation for the next phase of their life. Under the guidance of a teacher, students have attained impressive milestones in their lives. Teacher’s Day must be celebrated with lots of excitement, joy and happiness, and students must tell their teachers how and why are they special to them.
