Teacher’s Day 2025
I am writing this blog as part of the Virtual Teacher’s Day 2025 celebrations organised by the Department of English, M.K. Bhavnagar University. The purpose is twofold: to honour the invaluable role of teachers in nurturing knowledge, and to contribute an academic resource that connects with the spirit of the occasion.
By choosing the topic “The Renaissance in India”, I aim to reflect on a period of intellectual and cultural awakening that resonates deeply with the idea of Teacher’s Day. Just as reformers and thinkers of the Renaissance guided society towards progress through education and critical thought, teachers today continue to inspire us to question, learn, and grow.
This blog, along with the prepared video lesson, quiz, and TED-Ed module, is intended not only as a tribute to my teachers but also as a meaningful learning experience for fellow students.
Introduction
Teacher’s Day, celebrated on 5th September every year in India, honors the life and vision of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, an eminent teacher, philosopher, and the second President of India. His belief that education is the cornerstone of individual and social transformation makes this day not just a celebration, but also a reminder of the enduring influence of teachers in shaping the destiny of a nation.
As part of the Virtual Teacher’s Day 2025 celebrations organized by the Department of English, M.K. Bhavnagar University, I have chosen to present on the topic “The Renaissance in India.” The Indian Renaissance was a period of social, cultural, and intellectual rebirth during the 19th and 20th centuries. It is often compared with the European Renaissance, as both represented movements of awakening, reform, and progress.
Academic Activities for Teacher’s Day 2025
To mark the Virtual Teacher’s Day 2025 celebration, I have prepared a set of academic resources on the theme “The Renaissance in India.” These resources are designed to engage learners meaningfully, encourage critical reflection, and transform Teacher’s Day into a true celebration of knowledge.

A specially prepared video lesson presents the key aspects of the Indian Renaissance—its background, major reformers, women’s contributions, and its impact on society and nationalism. The lesson is structured to provide both clarity and depth, enabling learners to understand the movement as a foundation of modern India.
