Agartala, 6th September 2024: Teachers, the architects of society, play a pivotal role as mentors for future generations. To honor their invaluable contributions, India celebrates Teacher’s Day on September 5. This date marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, born in 1888, a distinguished philosopher, researcher, teacher, and professor who became the second President of India in 1962.
