Google celebrates Teacher's Day with special doodle

New Delhi: Online search giant Google is celebrating Teacher's Day with a special doodle –the special day for the appreciation of teachers for their contributions.

Teacher's Day is celebrated on the 5th of September in India every year and is marked in honour of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on the same day in 1888.

Dr Radhakrishnan was India's first vice president and second president.

In the doodle animation, the “G” in the centre of the Google logo is shown as a teacher while the other alphabets look like students.

The background is constantly changing with a slideshow of animated posters dealing with mathematics, music, geography, science and environment.

Meanwhile Prime Minister Narendra Modi has tweeted salutary message for the teaching community. In a series of tweet he wrote:
