President Pranab Mukherjee on the occasion of Teacher's Day will honour to meritorious teachers from across the country with national awards in the capital.
Every Year, Teacher's Day is celebrated on the every 5th of September marking the birthday of First Vice President and Second President of India Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.
