Happy Teachers' Day 2020: Images, Quotes, Wishes, Messages, Greetings, Cards, Pictures, Photos and GIFs

There is no denying that teachers play a critical role in the development, progress and enlightenment of society. For young individuals, who have just stepped into the outside world, teachers act as the guiding force and help them transform them into responsible citizens. Moreover, a good teacher is like a candle that guides the students to their own path to attain knowledge and wisdom.

Hence, it has been long established that teachers not only inspire their students to strive for greatness, but they also equip them with tools needed to face modern-day challenges.

Teachers not only ensure to bring out the best in their students, but they are precisely the reason why so many people go on to achieve greater things in their lives. They are most certainly the wind beneath our wings.

To honour and mark the innumerable contributions of our teachers and educators, Teachers' Day is celebrated every year on September 5. It is a special day for the appreciation of teachers and includes celebrations to honour them for their contribution in a particular field or society. In India, while Guru Purnima is traditionally observed as a day to pay respect to teachers, the birthday of the second president of India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September) is celebrated as Teachers’ Day since 1962.
