The name Dussehra is derived from Sanskrit words dasha (ten) and hara (defeat). It signifies the victory of Ram over Ravan (the 10-headed demon king). Dussehra or Vijayadashmi is celebrated on the 10th day of Ashvin month (September-October) of the Hindu calendar. Dussehra also marks the culmination of the nine-day Navratri festival. Dussehra, for many, marks the beginning of preparation for the Diwali festival - when Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya - which falls 20 days after Dussehra.

Every year 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' Day on Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan birthday. He was the first Vice-President of India (1952-1962), second President of India (1962-1967), recipient of Bharath Ratna and a staunch supporter of providing education to everyone.

His students wanted to mark his birthday as a special day after he became the President of India. He instead wanted to observe this day as Teachers' Day, honouring the contribution made by the teachers to society.

Teachers' day is one of the most important occasions. On this day, feel free to express your gratitude and thank them for their constant help and guidance. Teachers play an important role in teaching manners, etiquettes and filling them with the hope of a brighter future.
