Teachers' Day 2023: Wishes, greetings, messages and quotes for 'Shiksha Divas'

With Teachers’ Day 2023 nearing on 5 September, now is the right time to think of ways to thank your favourite teachers for their unwavering support. The day, which is marked on the fifth day of September every year, is also known as ‘Shiksha Divas’ and marks the birth anniversary of the former President of India – Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.

An eminent teacher himself, with a distinguished career in education, when his students asked Radhakrishnan to mark the day in his name, he replied that the day be celebrated as Teachers’ Day instead, to recognise the contribution of so many teachers to society and honour their tireless contributions in shaping the future of the country.

Below are some wishes, greetings, messages and quotes to mark the eventful day:
