Happy Teachers’ Day 2024: WhatsApp messages, quotes, images, GIFs to share with your teachers

Teachers' Day is celebrated on September 5 each year across India. This day marks the birth anniversary of the first vice president and second president of India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was known to be a distinguished scholar and a teacher. In 1954, he was awarded Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in India, and honorary membership of the British Royal Order of Merit in 1963.

Why is Teachers' Day celebrated?

Dr Radhakrishnan was visited by a few students on his birthday when he became the President of India in 1962. The students visited him to celebrate his birthday. He asked the students to dedicate the day to teachers. From that day onwards, September 5 was observed as Teachers' Day in India.

Schools and other educational institutions across India celebrate Teachers' Day on September 5, to pay tribute to Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and all teachers who guide the students.

Here are a few messages students can share with their teachers on WhatsApp to thank them for their guidance-
