“Role of a Teacher in Present Education System”

In India, 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' Day as a mark of

tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5th September is the birth anniversary

of a great teacher Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education and was

a well-known diplomat, scholar, the President of India and above all, a teacher. When some of his

students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday,

he said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege, if 5th

September is observed as Teachers' day".
