Our college decided to conduct a short programme related to National Education Day on November 11. Ms. Sheeba presented a wonderful session for us to learn more about the day. It was a nice session.
Every year since 2008, November 11 is celebrated as education day to commemorate the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Azad was independent India's first education minister. He was a key educationist who played an important role in developing the education system in independent India. Ministry of Human Resource Development on September 11, 2008, decided to mark the birth anniversary of Maulana Azad by celebrating National Education Day on November 11, every year. “The Ministry has decided to commemorate the birthday of this great son of India by recalling his contribution to the cause of education in India,” reads the HRD Ministry announcement.
Some of the important boards/commission set up by the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad during his tenure are:
1.University Grants commission
2.All India council for Technical education
3.Kharagpur Institute of higher education
