look forward. The Day is important for the students as it gives them a
chance to understand the eforts put in by their teachers to ensure that
they get quality education. Similarly, teachers look forward to the
Teachers’ Day celebration as their eforts get recognised and honoured by
students and other agencies as well.

the real icon of knowledge and wisdom. They create awareness among the
students and common people. They are the source of light in the world
that has been darkened due to ignorance. Our teachers are the true pillars
of our success.
