April 13, 14 Public Holidays announced; Here's Why!

As April begins, people are eagerly looking forward to various festivals and celebrations. The month starts with the holy festival of Chaitra Navratri, which is celebrated with great religious faith and pomp. This year, April brings a special treat - three consecutive holidays, thanks to the Baisakhi festival on April 13th, followed by Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti on April 14th, and potentially a Saturday off, providing a wonderful opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend quality time with loved ones.

Baisakhi is one of the prominent festivals in the Hindu calendar, especially in north Indian states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. The festival is celebrated with a lot of fervour and is a time of harvest. It is a major agriculture festival, and it signifies wealth and bliss for farmers who cut their first harvest after working tirelessly for months.

Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti: A Salute to a Visionary Leader

Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti falls on April 14th in memory of the birthday of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, a visionary leader who contributed significantly to India's constitution. He was an ardent advocate of social justice and equality, and his work continues to motivate millions of individuals globally.
