Introduction: Honoring Teachers Beyond Borders

Teachers’ Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of gratitude, respect, and love for the mentors who shape our lives. In India, 5th September is celebrated in honor of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a scholar, philosopher, and former President of India, who believed that “teachers should be the best minds in the country.”

For students and families abroad, Teachers’ Day often sparks mixed emotions. While schools and colleges outside India may not celebrate it on the same day, the desire to honor teachers remains strong—especially among Indian students studying overseas. But how do you send gifts that truly carry the essence of India?

This is where PickYourKart’s Shop For Me service becomes a blessing. By enabling NRIs and students abroad to shop in India and ship gifts worldwide, it bridges the cultural and emotional gap. From books to sweets, kurtas to personalized accessories, PickYourKart helps you celebrate Teachers’ Day without borders.
