Initiated on 5 September 1962  to commemorate the birth anniversary of educationist Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (first Vice President of India, and the Second President of India) this day is celebrated annually as Teacher’s Day throughout the country. 

Throughout the day, professors were wished in classes and, a ceremony was held at  KRB Auditorium in the evening in their honour.

This year’s event started with a gratitude speech to thank the teachers for their hard work, followed by a music performance (and an encore on the request of the faculty) by students. With music setting the right tone for the evening, faculty shared their experiences of being educators and also reminisced about their own students days.

Faculty and students then  played a highly competitive game of Pictionary, followed by cake cutting and pictures.

Planned events aside, it’s probably the surprises that students gave for the professors during an otherwise mundane schedule that made the day memorable. The previous day, plans were made across multiple batches and giant banners made to be propped up at an instant during class, students then start clapping which confused the professors initially, and all the students shouted Happy Teachers’ Day!!
