Teacher’s Day Special: Nil Battey Sannata, Pareeksha, Kennedy Club – Films You Should Watch On ZEE5 With Your ACT Connection

Aristotle, the Greek philosopher had said, ‘Those who educate children are well to be honored more than parents, for parents only gave us life, teachers give us the art of living them!’. India is a country in which Teachers are held on pedestals and are respected as much as one’s parents. In fact, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on September 5 every year, to honor the first Vice President of India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan on his birthday. India has been home to many great teachers and gurus right from the beginning. India’s most favorite president, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam always said with pride that he would be a teacher till his last!
