National Education Day, observed on 11th November each year, marks the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, one of India’s most revered leaders and a prominent educationist. The Government of India declared this day as National Education Day in 2008 to honour Azad’s invaluable contributions to the nation’s educational system. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first Minister of Education in independent India, played a crucial role in shaping the foundation of the country’s education policy.
National Education Day is celebrated across the country with a range of activities, including seminars, essay writing, debates, and competitions in schools and colleges. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of education in empowering individuals and fostering national development. It inspires students, educators, and policymakers to work towards an inclusive, innovative, and forward-looking educational landscape in India.
