Every year on November 11th, the nation celebrates National Education Day, which marks the anniversary of the birth of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a notable figure in the Indian liberation fight. People from all walks of life honor the great thinker and India’s first education minister on this special day.
In September 2008, the Indian government declared November 11 as National Education Day. The first celebrations were launched by President Pratibha Patil on November 11, 2008, at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad believed that education could be used to change society. He was adamant that everyone should have access to education that would help them grow as people and have more fulfilling lives. His comprehensive approach to education led him to establish prestigious educational institutions such as the University Grants Commission and the All India Council of Technical Education.
The purpose of National Education Day is to raise the standard of education and fortify India’s educational establishments. On this day, everyone who works in education gathers to talk about how to improve India’s standing as a knowledge-driven society and concentrate on the country’s educational system.
This day emphasizes how important education is in forming people and society. On National Education Day, everyone is urged to uphold his legacy by making sure that education empowers individuals and is available to everyone. It emphasizes the need of bridging educational gaps, encouraging critical thinking, and giving youth the tools they need to thrive in a world that is changing all the time.
Several community awareness events will be planned to commemorate the day, such as street performances, rallies, and workshops for creating posters and charts that showcase volunteer efforts. To commemorate the day, educational institutions around the nation host rallies, workshops, symposia, essay-writing contests, and lectures on the value of literacy in the nation.
