Happy Teachers' Day 2026: Wishes, Messages, Quotes, Images To Send Your Favourite Pedagogue On WhatsApp, Instagram

Happy Teachers' Day 2026: Every year on September 5, India celebrates Teachers' Day with great pomp and fervour. This day marks the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a distinguished philosopher, scholar, and the second President of India. The tradition of celebrating Teachers' Day on this day began in 1962. When Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan assumed office after becoming the second President, some of his beloved students visited him and sought his permission to celebrate his birthday. However, he suggested the day be observed as Teachers' Day. As the day is here, we have curated a list of wishes, messages and quotes you can send to your teachers and parents via WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook.
