Every year on September 8, International Literacy Day is
celebrated to bring attention to and concern for literacy issues that exist
both locally and globally. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, established International Literacy Day in
1966 “to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of
dignity and human rights,” and it returns responsibility for the problems
of illiteracy to local communities where literacy begins, one person at a time.
HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL LITERACY DAY
Despite significant improvements in literacy rates during
the more than 50 years since the first International Literacy Day, illiteracy
is still a major issue on a global scale. It is estimated that more than 750
million adults worldwide are illiterate. No country or culture on earth is
immune to the affliction of illiteracy, including the United States, where an
estimated 32 million Americans lack basic literacy skills.
What is literacy, exactly?
Literacy is described as
“the quality or state of being literate: educated…able to read and
write” in the Miriam-Webster Dictionary. You probably spend a lot of time
reading online, so it may come as a surprise to hear that there are people
living and working in your area who are unable to read not
only this post but also books, menus at restaurants, traffic signs, voting
ballots, instructions, prescription bottle labels, and cereal boxes.
Can you picture surviving in today’s world without the
fundamental skills of reading and writing? The goal of International Literacy
Day is to eradicate illiteracy in every local community around the globe.
The idea for International Literacy Day was initially
proposed during the Tehran, Iran-hosted “World Conference of Ministers of
Education for the Eradication of Illiteracy” in 1965. In the year that
followed, UNESCO took the initiative and established September 8 as
International Literacy Day, with the main objective being “…to remind
the international community of the importance of literacy for individuals,
communities, and societies, and the need for intensified efforts towards more
literate societies.” One year later, the world community took up the
challenge of eradicating illiteracy by taking part in the first International
Literacy Day.
TRADITIONS
OF THE DAY
A gift that is frequently taken for granted is literacy. In
our daily lives, reading is crucial. Being unable to read or write makes it
difficult to get around and prevents you from enjoying a wide variety of
things.
On International Literacy Day, groups and people step up
and use their literacy to support and encourage those who are having
trouble reading and writing. Volunteers from the community, including students
and working adults, tutor local children, donate books to local libraries, and
sponsor a student’s tuition and education to help them succeed in life.
To plan and carry out the best strategies for the abolition
of illiteracy, institutions, government- and international organizations hold
think tanks and debate forums in addition to organizing grassroots literacy
campaigns. They additionally hold fundraising events. Every year, a theme is
chosen for International Literacy Day as a means of raising public awareness of
a particular subject.
In a developing country like India, the role and importance of small-scale industries is very significant towards poverty eradication, employment generation, rural development and creating regional balance in promotion and growth of various development activities.
It is estimated that this sector has been contributing about 40% of the gross value of output produced in the manufacturing sector and the generation of employment by the small-scale sector is more than five times to that of the large-scale sector.
This clearly shows the importance of small-scale industries in the economic development of the country. The small-scale industry have been playing an important role in the growth process of Indian economy since independence in spite of stiff competition from the large sector and not very encouraging support from the government.
The following are some of the important role played by small- scale industries in India.
Employment generation:
The basic problem that is confronting the Indian economy is increasing pressure of population on the land and the need to create massive employment opportunities. This problem is solved to larger extent by small-scale industries because small- scale industries are labour intensive in character. They generate huge number of employment opportunities. Employment generation by this sector has shown a phenomenal growth. It is a powerful tool of job creation.
Mobilisation of resources and entrepreneurial skill:
Small-scale industries can mobilize a good amount of savings and entrepreneurial skill from rural and semi-urban areas remain untouched from the clutches of large industries and put them into productive use by investing in small-scale units. Small entrepreneurs also improve social welfare of a country by harnessing dormant, previously overlooked talent.
Equitable distribution of income:
Small entrepreneurs stimulate a redistribution of wealth, income and political power within societies in ways that are economically positive and without being politically disruptive.
Thus small-scale industries ensures equitable distribution of income and wealth in the Indian society which is largely characterised by more concentration of income and wealth in the organised section keeping unorganised sector undeveloped. This is mainly due to the fact that small industries are widespread as compared to large industries and are having large employment potential.
Regional dispersal of industries:
There has been massive concentration of industries m a few large cities of different states of Indian union. People migrate from rural and semi urban areas to these highly developed centres in search of employment and sometimes to earn a better living which ultimately leads to many evil consequences of over-crowding, pollution, creation of slums, etc. This problem of Indian economy is better solved by small- scale industries which utilise local resources and brings about dispersion of industries in the various parts of the country thus promotes balanced regional development.
Promotes exports:
Small-scale industries have registered a phenomenal growth in export over the years. The value of exports of products of small-scale industries has increased to Rs. 393 crores in 1973-74 to Rs. 71, 244 crores in 2002-03. This contributes about 35% India’s total export. Thus they help in increasing the country’s foreign exchange reserves thereby reduces the pressure on country’s balance of payment.
Supports the growth of large industries:
The small-scale industries play an important role in assisting bigger industries and projects so that the planned activity of development work is timely attended. They support the growth of large industries by providing, components, accessories and semi finished goods required by them. In fact, small industries can breath vitality into the life of large industries.
Passengers sitting in the rear seat of a car and not wearing seatbelts might also be fined soon, said Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari. In an exclusive interview, Gadkari said that although it was mandatory for rear-seat passengers to wear a seatbelt, people have not been following the same. Henceforth, they would be fined because at “any cost, lives have to be saved”. However, he emphasised that fining people was not the goal, but cutting down of road accidents by 50 per cent by 2024 was the aim.
Although a fine of Rs 1,000 is already in place under Article 138 (3) of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), the problem seems to be more about user behaviour and enforcing the regulations. Most people in India overlook belting up in the rear seats of a car, often assuming they are in a much safer place since there is no dashboard or steering wheel right in front of them.
The road transport and highways minister further said he was trying to work with the states to find ways to reduce accidents on National Highways as law and order comes under the state governments.
The government has asked online retail giant Amazon to stop selling devices designed to disable car seatbelt alarms, transport minister Nitin Gadkari told Reuters, citing potential safety risks. Apart from this, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has also written to the consumer affairs ministry to ask e-commerce companies to stop selling devices designed to disable car seat belt alarms, news agency PTI has reported citing a senior government official.

The concept of social responsibility in relation to business means that the firm functions to accomplish its financial objectives and serves the society as well. No business exists in isolation. Every organ of the society contributes towards the success of a business. Thus it becomes imperative that business too does something for the society in return. This responsibility of business towards the society is called social responsibility.
A socially responsible firm should not work solely for profit maximization but should also seek the welfare of different sections of the society. Social responsibility of business refers to its obligations to take those decisions and perform those actions which are acceptable in terms of the objectives and values of the society.
Why business need to do social responsibility?
Business is a Part of Society:
Since business organisations are a part of society they must have a positive attitude towards the needs of society. Business is only a sub-system of society and this sub-system must contribute to the welfare of the main system. Therefore, the decisions taken by the manager should take into consideration the welfare of not only his organisation but also the welfare of other sub-systems (different parts of society like customers, shareholders, employees, etc.)
Long-Term Interest:
It is in the long-term interest of the business to discharge its social obligations by serving different interest groups such as employees, consumers, government and citizens. Wise business persons know that unless they serve the society by fulfilling its needs, they will not be able to climb the success ladder.
Indebted to Society:
A business uses the resources of the society for its functioning. Hence, it becomes obligatory for it to pay back its dues by serving the society. Businessmen should tend to the needs of the society and use its resources for community welfare. This practice ultimately helps the organization in establishing itself on the strong foundation of a pleased society and a cooperative labour force.
Public Image:
The activities of business towards the welfare of the society earn goodwill and reputation for the business. The earnings of business also depend upon the public image of its activities. People prefer to buy products of a company that engages itself in various social welfare programmes. Again, good public image also attracts honest and competent employees to work with such employers.
Social Awareness:
These days, employees and customers are more informed about their rights. While consumers expect the seller to abide by the fair trade practices, workers want fair wages and other employee benefits. If the expectations of these interest groups are not met, they may resort to either anti-social activities or seek help from trade unions and consumer courts. This will lead to industrial turmoil and unrest within the society which is harmful for proper functioning of the business.
Stress is a natural part of life, and like many things, it’s important to learn how to manage it. If you’re suffering from stress, here are some helpful tips for coping:
Find a hobby
If you’re looking for a way to manage stress and unwind, a hobby can be an excellent option. It doesn’t have to be something specific or intense; you could simply enjoy doing something that inspires you every day.
Whatever it is that makes your heart race with excitement, there’s probably an outlet for it in your life—if not now then at some point in the future. Taking up knitting or painting might seem like an odd choice when you’re stressed out by midterms and finals, but these activities can become routine sources of relaxation as well as hobbies!
When we were kids growing up, many of us were fond of playing sports: football or baseball games were favorite pastimes at our houses during the summer months because they gave us something physical (and occasionally competitive) to do together after school hours were over. Nowadays however there are plenty other ways for parents and kids alike alike enjoy getting involved together outside on weekends – whether through volunteering with community organizations like Habitat For Humanity; going camping together on family camping trips; taking part in organized activities such as dance lessons where everyone learns new moves together while having fun at once too 🙂
Build a daily routine
The first step to managing stress is building a daily routine. A morning routine, afternoon routine and evening routine are all good places to start.
Make sure you have your coffee (or tea) before 7:30 AM. This will help you get going in the morning and prevent late-night cram sessions later on in the day when you’re tired or distracted by something else that needs doing.
Get through at least one workout session per week—even if it’s just walking around campus for 30 minutes with friends or playing basketball with teammates after class! Exercise helps burn off energy so that mentally challenging tasks don’t seem insurmountable anymore; moreover, exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety levels as well as improve moods overall.* Go grocery shopping once per week rather than buying food from convenience stores because they tend to have higher prices than supermarkets do; however replacing fast food with healthy alternatives like salads instead of burgers will save money while still providing nutritious meals throughout each day.* Try not using social media sites like Facebook or Twitter too frequently either during lunch breaks at work because this causes users’ lives outside office hours become blurred together into one giant blur which makes everything seem more difficult than before since now there’s no separation between work life & personal life anymore.
Eat healthy food
Eating a balanced diet is key to managing stress. It helps you feel more energized and less tired, which can help you avoid getting sick or stressed out by hunger pangs. If possible, eat a healthy breakfast every morning—this will give you the energy boost that makes it easier for you to get through your day!
If eating junk food is something that stresses out your stomach (and let’s be honest here: who doesn’t love pizza?), try finding healthier snacks like fruit salad bites or even granola bars instead of sugary ones. The key here is moderation; no one should ever eat too much junk food because this will only make them feel worse afterwards.
Get in touch with your family
Stress is a normal part of life and as such, it’s important to find ways to manage your stress. One way you can do this is by talking with your family about how they can help.
Family members are a great source of support when it comes to helping you manage stress—and they may not even realize how much they’re helping! If you have parents or siblings who live nearby, consider asking them if they’d like some help managing their own lives and those around them. You could even offer up some of your time (or money) in exchange for their assistance so that everyone benefits from their efforts together.
Get enough sleep
Sleep is important for learning and memory.
It’s also linked to stress reduction.
Getting enough sleep can help reduce your stress levels, which will make you more productive at school or work.
Go for a walk
You can get away from the stress of school by going for a walk.
Go for a walk alone or with friends if you’d like, but don’t worry about being seen—the point of walking is just to move your body, not impress others. Listen to music while you walk (or listen in silence), and try to take in some fresh air too. Take your dog for a long walk around the neighborhood; they’ll love it! If possible, try walking at least 10,000 steps each day—that’s equivalent to running one mile per hour continuously for 30 minutes straight! When I was younger and had more energy than I do now as an adult who’s trying everything she can think of not only stay healthy but also keep fit at age 55+.
Listen to music
Music is a great way to relax and de-stress. You can listen to any music you like, but try not to choose something that’s too hard or fast. Music can also help you focus on what’s important in your life, which will help keep things in perspective when they get overwhelming.
Music can also help with sleep! I recommend listening before bed because it helps calm your mind enough so that it doesn’t keep tossing and turning at night because of all the stressors going through your head during the day (or even week).
Meditate
Meditating is a great way to relax and unwind. It can help you deal with stress, anxiety and depression, improve your memory and creativity, even slow down the aging process.
If you’re new to meditation or have never tried it before there are plenty of ways that beginners can begin:
Sit comfortably in a comfortable position (sitting or lying down).
Close your eyes if possible – this might help you focus better on what you are doing (most people choose not to cover their eyes).
Start by breathing normally through both nostrils for one minute without counting the breaths or trying anything else at first; this will help clear any thoughts from your mind so that when they come back again later on during meditation they won’t distract us from our task at hand which is meditating.
Talk to someone about your stressors
Talking to someone about your stressors is an important part of managing them. You can talk to your friends and family, but it’s also helpful to talk about the stressors with a therapist or counselor. If you feel comfortable talking about this issue with a doctor, go for it! The same goes for religious leaders, coaches and mentors who have experience dealing with similar issues in their own lives. And if none of these people are available yet, teachers are usually willing to listen when students come seeking guidance from them (or even just want advice on how they should handle their own problems).
Few more steps to encounter stress
Stress can be caused by a variety of factors including work-related issues, relationships with friends and family members or even just having too much on your plate at once. In order to manage stress effectively there are some steps that you can take:
Start taking breaks from time to time during the day (even if only for 5 minutes). This will help you relax and recharge so that when you return back into work mode again; everything feels fresh again.
Try getting outdoors more often during the day so that there’s less time spent indoors where all these feelings tend to accumulate over time because there isn’t much else going on besides watching TV shows while eating pizza as opposed being outside enjoying nature around us all… You get what I mean? 🙂
I hope this article has given you some useful tips for managing your stress. Remember that the best way to deal with a stressful situation is to stay calm and take action. Use our tips above and find something that helps you relax, like giving yourself time away from your responsibilities or getting some exercise – anything will do.

Once upon a time, there was a small publishing company called Edupub. The company specialized in creating educational books and materials for students of all ages. However, the company struggled to keep up with the ever-evolving technology in the education industry.
One day, the founder of Edupub, a young and innovative entrepreneur named Sarah, attended a conference on the future of education technology. At the conference, she met several developers who were working on interactive and immersive educational tools.
Sarah was inspired by the possibilities that these tools could bring to the educational publishing industry. She immediately set out to collaborate with these developers to create the next generation of educational materials.
After months of hard work, Edupub launched its first interactive book. The book combined text, images, videos, and interactive quizzes, all in one digital platform. Students could read, watch, and interact with the material, making learning a more engaging and immersive experience.
The interactive book was an instant hit, and soon, schools and universities all over the world began to adopt the technology. Edupub became known for its innovative and cutting-edge educational materials, and its popularity soared.
As the company grew, Sarah continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in educational publishing. She worked with developers to create virtual reality simulations, augmented reality textbooks, and even personalized learning platforms that adapted to each student’s unique learning style.
Edupub’s success caught the attention of investors, and the company received funding to expand its offerings even further. They began to partner with schools and universities to create customized learning experiences, tailoring the materials to fit each institution’s unique needs.
Years later, Edupub had become the go-to company for innovative and immersive educational materials. The company had changed the way students learned and provided new opportunities for educators to engage with their students. Sarah was proud of what she had accomplished, and her dedication to innovation had paved the way for a new era in educational publishing.

He asked US investors to share newer ideas, suggestions on taking the India-US relations to the next level. Noting that both countries share tremendous interest in the world which is peaceful, open to business, and believes in democracy, transparency, Shri Goyal asserted that the two countries can work collectively to promote global security, stability and resilient supply chains and a growing economy.
Stating that India’s credibility has strengthened across the world in last few years, Shri Goyal

We are committed to providing growth opportunities both for domestic and foreign investors, he added.
In his speech, Shri Goyal highlighted the fact that lots of innovation is taking place in different fields and new areas are opening up in India such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, E Commerce, Edutech, Fintech, Agritech and Healthtech. He sought suggestions and ideas to explore the engagement further in areas around textiles, geotextiles, technology for testing labs.
India has overtaken the UK to become the fifth-largest economy in the world. Economists and business executives anticipated that India’s position would continue to improve in the years to come due to greater economic growth.
According to figures from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), India passed the United Kingdom (UK) to become the fifth-largest economy in the world in the last quarter of 2021. India’s economy currently ranks just four nations ahead of it in terms of size in dollars. The United States, China, Japan, and Germany are the only nations with economies larger than India’s. The UK is currently in sixth place, just behind India.
IMF’s own forecasts show India overtaking the UK in dollar terms on an annual basis this year, putting the Asian powerhouse behind the US, China, Japan and Germany. A decade ago, India ranked 11th among the largest economies, while the UK was fifth. The government is expecting the economy to grow at 7-7.5 per cent in 2022-23, in line with its projections made at the beginning of this financial year. India registered a growth of 8.7 per cent in 2021-22.
While India has overtaken the United Kingdom in terms of the size of the economy, the per capita income in India remains very low. When it comes to per capita income, which is a measure of how much money is made per person in a country, India is ranked 122 out of 190 countries.
India is set to become the third largest economy in the world by 2029. A State Bank of India report said India will surpass Germany in 2027 and most likely Japan by 2029 at the current rate of growth. The report said that the country has undergone a large structural shift since 2014 and is now the 5th largest economy overtaking the United Kingdom.
A teacher holds our hands, frees our minds, and touches our hearts. They are a friend, philosopher, and mentor. There is no way to minimise a teacher’s role. The day set aside for teachers in schools, colleges, and universities is known as Teacher’s Day in various nations around the world. The day varies from nation to nation. The fifth of October is celebrated worldwide as World Teachers’ Day. The custom of celebrating Teacher’s Day on September 5th in India dates back to 1962.
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born in this year. He was a politician, philosopher, scholar, teacher, and his tireless efforts to advance education made his birthday a significant day in Indian history. On this day, we honour the excellent work of this outstanding person.
Actually, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a likeable professor who was well-liked by his pupils for the example he always set in front of them. So, one day, his friends and pupils asked him to let them throw a spectacular birthday party for him. In return he remarked that it would be his delight and honour if they celebrate his birthday in favour of all instructors. Since then, the fifth of September has been celebrated as Teacher’s Day.
Speaking of the rest of the world, World Teachers Day was first observed on October 5th, 1994. This custom was established by UNESCO. The emphasis set by UNESCO was to recognise the dedication, success, and contributions that teachers have made to the field of education. Now, why is October 5 observed as Teachers’ Day? On this date in 1966, a special intergovernmental conference approved the UNESCO recommendation pertaining to teachers’ statuses.
Why do We Celebrate?
The most influential job in the world is teaching. Children’s minds are supposed to be shaped by teachers, and without knowledge, no one can survive in this world. Kids learn the exact value from their teachers, who transform them into responsible adults. So, nearly each united states celebrates Teacher’s Day. In India, we now celebrate Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s birthday with joy. He developed into a character with many defining characteristics and a beloved teacher by his students.
In the event that anyone wanted to celebrate his birthday in any way, he requested that it be observed as an honourable day for all the academics inside the United States. In India, we have fun these days at the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He turned into a person of many exact traits and a favourite instructor amongst students. It turned into his request that his birthday ought to be celebrated as an honorable day for all the academics withinside the united states, in case a person is wishing to have fun his birthday at all.Therefore, to put it briefly, we commemorate Teacher’s Day because teachers have been the architects of society, and without them no civilization can proceed along the path of advancement.
In his book “Political Thinkers of Modern India,” he made a point about the value of teaching and education in a developing nation like Democratic India. He contends that teachers play a vital part in the development of nations and that they merit greater respect. He was not just a thinker and teacher, but also a philosopher.
A teacher is “the one who prioritises presentation to converge multiple currents of thinking to the same aim,” according to a book he previously authored on the Bhagwad Gita.
Most of the political figures of the period, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, and Dr. Rajendra Prasad, were supporters of his nation-building philosophy by the time he entered politics. His skills were shown in the sphere of politics also. He had the political acumen to foresee the obstacles and also has the necessary fortitude to chastise party leaders for their tardiness and slackness. He first alerted the former members of Congress to the grave dangers posed by corruption and nepotism in 1947. We are currently addressing it!
A standing ovation is obviously appropriate for such a man. Therefore, this day is observed in order to promote the ideals and principles of a true teacher.

The statistics are all trending in the wrong way for public schools. Both test scores and violence are declining. Parents are yelling at school boards, and kids are sobbing on social workers’ sofas. The rage intensifies. Assertiveness is waning. Enrollment is decreasing. Attendance is declining. Bus drivers, substitute teachers, and teachers are all in short supply. Education and Qualification depend on every reason that disturbs students from learning.
Republicans are preparing political attacks this year that specifically target public school inadequacies as each phase of the epidemic presents new logistical challenges to be managed. An unprecedented crisis in public education affects practically every aspect of what educators do, from teaching arithmetic to counseling fearful kids to running the school.
Political conflicts are a significant aspect of education, putting school boards, teachers, and students in the sights of culture warriors. Schools are under fire for their pandemic decision-making, curriculums, racial equality policies, and even the books they keep in their libraries.
Republicans, who see education as a politically good topic, argue for greater “parental control” or the authority to question instructors’ decisions. The epidemic has been used by a fired-up school choice movement to offer alternatives to conventional public schools.
Lost Learning
Experts feared pupils sent to rural schools during the outbreak would suffer academically. They were accurate.
Dan Goldhaber, an education researcher at the American Institutes for Research, stated, “The learning losses have been severe so far, and honestly, I’m frightened that we haven’t stopped falling.”
Researchers may compare the performance of millions of pupils with what would be anticipated in the absence of the epidemic using data from the nationally conducted exam known as i-Ready, which evaluates students in reading and arithmetic three times a year. Significant decreases were noted, notably among the youngest kids and in arithmetic.
The lowest point came in the autumn of 2020, after a string of chaotic, remote-controlled courses for all pupils. Although there has been significant progress by autumn 2021, academic achievement was still below historical averages.
Consider the third grade, a crucial learning year that indicates future performance. In the autumn of 2021, 38 percent of third-graders were reading below grade level, up from 31 percent in the past. Thirty-nine percent of kids in arithmetic performed below grade level, compared to 29 percent.
According to a McKinsey & Co. research, schools with a majority of Black students were two months behind pre-pandemic levels while those with a majority of White students were five months behind. Students from low-income households, who already had poor academic performance, suffered the most. McKinsey researcher Emma Dorn proposes a “K-shaped” recovery in which children from higher-income families recover while those from lower-income homes continue to deteriorate.
“Some youngsters are making a full recovery and performing well. Some folks aren’t, she said. “I’m concerned that there may be a whole generation of pupils who are completely alienated from the educational system,” the author said.
Bus and Instructor Drivers Are Needed
As the omicron strain of the coronavirus swept the nation this winter and rendered many instructors ineffective, schools, already understaffed on a good day, had little room for mistakes. Teachers were forced to cover other courses during their planning times due to a significant lack of replacements, which moved preparation to the nights. The superintendent covered the middle school math and science courses on four days this school year because San Francisco schools were so broke. Sometimes, classes were left unattended or joined with other groups to form vast, unglorified study halls.
The National Education Association’s president, Becky Pringle, stated of the shortages, “The epidemic made an already grim situation much more catastrophic.”
In 2016, 1.06 persons were employed for each job posting. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that ratio has continuously decreased, reaching 0.59 hires for every vacancy in 2016. The BLS estimated that there were 557,320 substitute teachers in 2013. The figure has dropped to 415,510 by 2020. Almost all districts mention the need for extra subs.
“Teachers are now experiencing widespread exhaustion, being down and out, and just running out of gas. Even before the epidemic, instructors were under pressure, but nothing had been taken away, said Jennifer Schlicht, a high school teacher in Olathe, Kansas, west of Kansas City.
According to research, shortages of teachers are especially severe in special education, among those who instruct English language learners, and among substitutes. Additionally, districts have lacked bus drivers during the whole school year, causing them to double up on routes, delay start times, and even cancel classes when necessary.
Lesson plans are being scrutinized by instructors, and detractors have targeted the teachers’ unions for demanding remote learning for a significant portion of the epidemic. Many instructors believe the situation will worsen since irate teachers will likely resign. And they claim that political smear campaigns worsen fatigue.
According to Daniel A. Domenech, executive director of AASA, The School Superintendents Association, “it’s simply created an atmosphere that people don’t want to be a part of anymore.” People want to look after children, not to be blamed, criticized, or penalized for doing so.
Teacher’s day is celebrated on the 5th of September every year. First, it was celebrated in 1962. It was celebrated in the memory of our Vice President Dr Swarvapalli Radhakrishnan on his birth anniversary. It was celebrated as giving respect to our teachers. Today in every school, college, and university teacher’s day is celebrated. Students danced and sings songs for their teachers, and many programs were arranged, and then food was also arranged by the students. In India, the teacher’s day celebration is at the top list. Small children make teachers’ day cards, give them pen as a gift or other gifts them to give honour. Children take teachers’ blessings and many more events were organised to celebrate and enjoy teacher’s day. So in the end, we should be very thankful to our teachers, and professors for giving us the things we need. The support and the blessings they give to us. Without them, we are nothing so we are lucky to have wonderful teachers in our life.
