Teaching should not be a profession – it must be a passion. Only then can education move from imposition of facts to exploration of truth. #SadhguruQuotes #TeachersDay pic.twitter.com/7YsVAP65Py

Teachers' Day is celebrated on different dates in various countries. In India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's birthday which happens to be on September 5 is marked as Teachers' Day since 1962.
More commonly, the day is celebrated as a mark of respect to any educator or a personality who has achieved a great milestone in education. This is the reason why Teachers' Day is celebrated on different days across the globe, revering their own respective educator or an achiever in the field of education.
In India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was the first Vice President and the second President of the country (1962-1967).
Here's wishing our teachers a very happy Teachers' Day and a big 'thank you'!
