Good Morning to all!

My name is 'XYZ'. Today, we have

gathered here to celebrate Teacher's
Day in the pursuit to honour our
teachers for their everyday guidance
to help us succeed in our paths.

To begin with, I would like to salute

and extend my overwhelming
gratitude towards the teachers'
community. They have always been a
guiding light and provided rigid
support to walk through our paths
whenever needed. Today, on the
behalf of every student in the world, I
would like to say that we owe a big
thank you to each teacher who has
helped us directly or indirectly in
shaping our lives. Thank you and a
very Happy Teacher's dayl
Teacher's Day marks the birth
anniversary of Late Dr Sarvepalli
Radhakrishnan. He was one of the
greatest teachers and philosophers
our country ever had. When his
students insisted to celebrate his
birthday, he very graciously asked
them to rather celebrate the day as
Teacher's Day and not his birthday.
Since 1962, 5th September is
commemorated as Teacher' day in
India.
Born on September 5th, 1888, Sir
Radhakrishnan was a man of high
esteems and values. He was one of
India's most dignified personalities.
He had received his education in the
field of philosophy. Some of his
notable books are- The Hindu View of
Life, A Source Book in Indian
Philosophy, The Philosophy of
Rabindranath Tagore, The Pursuit of
Life, Faith Renewed, etc. These
books radiate a pearl of gigantic
wisdom and are a must-read.

Furthermore, Sir Radhakrishnan

served the nation as the first Vice
President of India from 1952 to 1962
and the second President of India
from 1962 to 1967. Besides, he is
also the recipient of India's highest
civilian honour i.e. Bharat Ratna in
1954. He has been nominated 16
- -1954.
- -He-has

been nominated 16

times for Nobel Prize in Literature

while 11 times in the category Nobel
Peace Prize.

Dr Radhakrishnan always believed

that teachers must be the best minds
in the nation. He donated a major
part of his income as President to
the Prime Minister's National Relief
Fund.
On this auspicious occasion, I would
like to quote "A teacher takes a hand,
opens a mind, and touches a heart." I,
once again, extend my heartiest
gratitude and respect to all the
teachers who have helped in every
step of our lives directly or indirectly.
Thank you teachers for always being
there for us, motivating us, and
pushing us beyond our limits to relish
the success.

Thank you all!
