Instead of a personal celebration, he suggested dedicating the day to teachers across the nation. Since then, schools and colleges in india honor teachers with cultural programs, performances, and heartfelt tributes on this date.

He was not only India’s second President but also one of the most respected teachers of his time. His writings on philosophy made indian thought respected worldwide. Honored with the Bharat Ratna in 1954, his belief that “teachers should be the best minds in the country” is what makes this day famous and meaningful.
