    Teachers play an influencing role in the life of every student. They are like light, guiding us to a bright future. What we learn from our teachers remains with us, throughout our life. However, we don't often show our love for them. Teachers do need encouragement and support. Because of this, Teachers' Day is celebrated all over the world, year by year.

    The festival is celebrated on different dates in different countries. In India, Teachers' Day is celebrated on 5th of September every year. The date was selected, because it is the birthday of a teacher and the former President of India—Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. When some of his students and friends said they wanted to celebrate his birthday, he said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday, I hope September 5th can be celebrated as Teachers' Day". From then on, the 5th of September has been known as Teachers' Day in India.

    Since Teachers' Day is on different dates in different countries; the celebrations are also different. In many countries, cultural programmes such as singing competitions are held. Students give their teachers flowers, greeting cards and gifts to show their thanks.
