Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended warm greetings to the nation on the occasion of Milad-un-Nabi and Teachers’ Day, highlighting the values of compassion, service, and justice while acknowledging the vital role of teachers in shaping India’s future.
Milad-un-Nabi — also known as Eid-e-Milad or Mawlid al-Nabi al-Sharif — marks the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad and is being celebrated across the country today. The occasion coincides with Teachers’ Day, observed annually on September 5 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India’s second President and one of its most respected educationists.
In a post on X, PM Modi wrote:
“Best wishes on the occasion of Milad-un-Nabi. May this sacred day bring with it peace and well-being in our society. May the values of compassion, service and justice always guide us. Eid Mubarak!”
In another post, he lauded the dedication of teachers:
“Wishing everyone, particularly all hardworking teachers, a very happy #TeachersDay! The dedication of teachers to nurturing minds is the foundation of a stronger and brighter future. Their commitment and compassion are noteworthy. We also remember the life and thoughts of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, a distinguished scholar and teacher, on his birth anniversary.”
The Prime Minister’s dual message struck a tone of unity, respect, and reflection, resonating with citizens as the nation observed two significant occasions on the same day.
