Janjatiya Gaurav Divas is observed every year on which date?
- A.9 August
- B.15 November
- C.2 October
- D.26 January
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 15 November. The day is kept on the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and has been observed every year since 2021 to honour the sacrifices of tribal freedom fighters. In 2026 the tribute was offered at his statue at Prerna Sthal in the Parliament premises, where the President, the Vice-President, the Prime Minister, the Lok Sabha Speaker and other dignitaries laid flowers, and six tribal folk artists from different states performed. Option A, 9 August, is not the date fixed for this observance. Option C, 2 October, and option D, 26 January, are dates already associated with other national occasions and have nothing to do with Janjatiya Gaurav Divas. Candidates should link the day firmly to Birsa Munda's birth anniversary, because questions on important days are usually framed either on the date or on the person the date honours.
