Teachers’ Day 2025: India celebrated Teachers' Day 2025, honoring those teachers who have transformed classrooms and inspired communities. The President of India, Droupadi Murmu, at a special event in Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, awarded the prestigious National Teachers' Awards to 45 teachers from all over the country.
Recognising Excellence in Classrooms
The Union Education Ministry stated that the awardees were selected by a three-level process at the district, state, and national levels. This year's list demonstrates diversity, as 24 male and 21 female teachers from schools in metros, towns, and far-flung villages have been included.
Celebrating Innovation and Impact
Honourees were awarded for novel methods of teaching, dedication to student growth, and attempts to enhance learning achievements in difficult environments. Ranging from innovative pedagogy to inspiring first-generation learners, the awardees have played a key role in shaping young minds across India.
Nationwide Representation
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat each had two teachers represented, together with awardees from the North-East, Union Territories, and southern states, reflecting India's educational diversity.
Importance of Teachers' Day
Commemorated every year on September 5, Teachers' Day celebrates the legacy of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India's second President and a great teacher-philosopher, and reiterates the country's appreciation for teachers.
