Every year on November 11, India observes National Education Day to celebrate the contributions of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, one of the nation’s most respected freedom fighters and education reformers.
Declared by the Government of India in 2008, this day aims to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and learning for national development. Educational institutions conduct special programs, exhibitions, and essay competitions highlighting Azad’s role in promoting modern education.
This year, the focus is on digital learning and inclusive education, reflecting Azad’s belief that knowledge should empower every citizen.
