The Contribution Of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

 

Teaching is the most needed thing for every person as it shapes young minds and infuses them with knowledge. Without our teachers, we are nothing. The world would not be a better place if there were no teachers. It is they who take an interest in conveying their knowledge to their students so these students can become responsible adults.

 

Our education system is there because there are teachers. These individuals have expertise in specific subjects and pass it on to the next generation. In India, the celebration of Teacher's day is dedicated to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan as he initiated it while taking the oath as the president of India.

 

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a man of many talents, and he had amazing qualities. He was a great philosopher and teacher who established big things at a young age. He was selected by many big Universities and then chosen as the president. His students liked him very much, and he was a true inspiration for everyone. He requested that on his birthday, all the teachers should be given respect. Since then, teacher's day has been celebrated by all the teachers.

 

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan also wrote a book titled "Political Thinkers of Modern India." His book describes the importance of teachers and education in a country. He wrote the book by taking Democratic India as an example which was still in development. He mentioned that teachers are important pillars of building a country and people should respect them more. His philosophical thinking and understanding of the teaching profession allowed him to write many great pieces.
