1.WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP DAY

Celebrated in 2014, the first Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED) event was held in New York City at the United Nations, as well as other events held in other countries all over the world. In fact, 144 different countries recognized and celebrated the first day.

The day was founded and established by Wendy Diamond who is an entrepreneur and had volunteered with a foundation that helps to provide microcredit to low income women in Honduras. Following this experience, Wendy, who is also the Pet Pioneer, Animal Fair Media founder, decided that she wanted to help others all over the world to promote such causes.

2.NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURS DAY AND NATIONAL COMMERCE DAY

National Entrepreneur's Day is an annual event occurring on the third Tuesday of November (November 19) that honors people who have built an empire from absolutely nothing. Radical inventions by brilliant minds have shaped the way we live today, not to mention our future.

Commerce Day is celebrated on 1 st Monday of August. This year it was observed on August 7, 2023. Commerce Day is observed to honour the contributions and sacrifices made by workers every day. Reaching out to them and expressing

gratitude to employees in the neighborhood can significantly impact their feelings. On Commerce Day we honor the contributions and sacrifices made by workers every day.

 

3.INTERNATIONAL GIRL CHILD DAY

The International Day of the Girl (IDG) – observed annually on 11 October – is a global platform to advocate for the full spectrum of girls’ rights. This year, at a time when we are seeing a range of movements and actions to curtail girls’ and women’s rights and roll back progress on gender equality, we see particularly harsh impacts on girls. From maternal health care and parenting support for adolescent mothers, to digital and life skills training; from comprehensive sexuality education to survivor support services and violence prevention programs; there is an urgent need for increased attention and resourcing for the key areas that enable girls to realize their rights and achieve their full potential.

4. INDEPENDENCE DAY

The Indian Independence Bill, which carves the independent nations of India and Pakistan out of the former Mogul Empire, comes into force at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947. The long-awaited agreement ended 200 years of British rule and was hailed by Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi as the ‘noblest act of the British nation.

By the 19th century, Great Britain had become the dominant political power on the subcontinent and India was seen as the "Jewel in the Crown" of the British Empire. The British Indian Army played a vital role in both World Wars. Years of nonviolent resistance to British rule, led by Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU, eventually resulted in Indian independence in 1947. Large-scale communal violence took place before and after the subcontinent partition into two separate states - India and Pakistan. The neighboring countries have fought three wars since independence, the last of which was in 1971 and resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh.

 

5. KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS.

Kargil Vijay Diwas , or Kargil Victory Day, is observed annually on July 26 to mark India's triumph in the 1999 conflict with Pakistan. The day honours the bravery and sacrifices made by Indian soldiers during the intense and prolonged war.

The two neighbouring countries, which were involved in a significant conflict in 1971 that resulted in the formation of Bangladesh, have experienced ongoing tensions in the subsequent years. Although direct armed conflicts have been limited, they have been vying for control over the Siachen Glacier by establishing military outposts on the nearby mountain ridges.

6.WORLD DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR

Observed on June 12th, World Day Against Child Labour is intended to serve as a catalyst for the growing worldwide movement against child labour. Emphasizing the link between social justice and child labour, the slogan for the World Day in 2023 is ‘Social Justice for All. End Child Labour!’.

Our joint experience in tackling child labour over the course of the last three decades has demonstrated that child labour can be eliminated, if the root causes are addressed. More than ever, it is urgent for all of us to contribute to bringing solutions to people’s daily problems, and child labour is – possibly – the most visible of these problems.

We therefore consider the 2023 World Day Against Child Labour to be a moment for all of us who are committed to ending child labour to demonstrate that change can be achieved when will and determination come together and provide a momentum for efforts to be accelerated in a situation of great urgency.

7.INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR ELINIMATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Globally, an estimated 736 million women — almost one in three — have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life. This scourge has intensified in different settings, including the workplace and online spaces, and has been exacerbated by post-pandemic effects, conflicts, and climate change. The solution lies in robust responses, including investment in prevention. However, alarmingly, data on how much nations are committing to counteract violence against women and girls remains glaringly sparse. For instance, just 5% of government aid is focused on tackling violence against women and girls, and less than 0.2% is directed to its prevention. We need more investment in women’s organizations, better legislation, prosecution of perpetrators, more services for survivors, and training for law enforcement officials.

8.LIVE LIFE TRAVEL

"Live life, travel" is a simple yet profound mantra that encourages embracing the world with open arms. It suggests living fully in the present, seeking new experiences, and exploring different cultures, landscapes, and perspectives. Travel becomes a way to break free from the routine, discover new passions, and find inspiration. By traveling, we not only see the world but also learn more about ourselves and connect with the vast diversity that exists beyond our immediate surroundings. It’s about creating memories, embracing adventure, and living life with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

9.NATIONL HANDLOOM DAY

National Handloom Day is celebrated annually on August 7th in India to honor the contribution of handloom weavers to the country’s heritage and economy. The day commemorates the launch of the Swadeshi Movement in 1905, which advocated for the promotion of Indian-made goods, particularly handwoven fabrics, as a symbol of self-reliance. National Handloom Day celebrates the rich tradition of handloom weaving in India and aims to raise awareness about the significance of handloom products, support weavers, and preserve the country’s cultural heritage. It was first observed in 2015, and the event encourages the promotion of handloom products, both in domestic and international markets.

10.INTERNATIONAL GIRL CHILD DAY

International Day of the Girl Child, celebrated on October 11th each year, aims to highlight and address the challenges girls face around the world. It focuses on promoting the rights of girls, empowering them to reach their full potential, and advocating for gender equality. The day also raises awareness about issues such as education, health, and child protection, and calls for an end to child marriage, gender-based violence, and discrimination. The theme of the day varies each year, emphasizing different aspects of girls' rights and well-being.
