Nation Observes National Education Day 2026 Commemorating Maulana Abul Kalam Azad

India observed National Education Day across schools, universities, and apex academic institutions to commemorate the 138th birth anniversary of freedom fighter, scholar, and independent India's first Education Minister, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. The day reaffirmed national commitments toward inclusive public pedagogy, early childhood education under the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), and bridging digital divides in higher educational institutions.

Key Facts

Key historical and policy facets of National Education Day:

The Observance: Celebrated annually on November 11 (observed with institutional conferences through November 12), designated officially by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (now Ministry of Education) in 2008.
Architect of Higher Education: As India's Minister of Education from 1947 to 1958, Maulana Azad founded the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 1953 and oversaw the establishment of the first Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Kharagpur in 1951).
Cultural Infrastructure: Azad spearheaded the founding of national cultural academies including Sangeet Natak Akademi (1953), Sahitya Akademi (1954), and Lalit Kala Akademi (1954).
Bharat Ratna: He was posthumously conferred India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 1992.
