Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Philosopher · Educator · Former President of India

Our inspiration

Guided by a great educator

The foundation is named in honour of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, one of India's most respected philosophers, scholars, and statesmen. A devoted teacher before he entered public life, he served as the second President of India and remains a symbol of intellectual integrity and moral leadership.

He believed that education should build character as well as knowledge, and that teachers hold a sacred responsibility in shaping young minds. His conviction that "teachers should be the best minds in the country" continues to inspire educators across the nation.

In India, his birthday—5 September—is celebrated as Teachers' Day, a tradition that reflects the deep respect he held for the teaching profession. Our foundation draws from that same spirit: honouring teachers, supporting students, and serving society through education.

“The true teachers are those who help us think for ourselves.”

— Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
