India celebrates National Education Day every year on November 11 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the country’s first Education Minister. The day honors his immense contribution to shaping India’s modern education system after independence.
Maulana Azad emphasized the importance of universal primary education, women’s education, and scientific learning. He played a key role in establishing major institutions like IITs, UGC, and AICTE.
Educational institutions across India observe the day with seminars, debates, and essay competitions to highlight the value of learning.
