Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas is observed every year on which date?
- A.9 August
- B.15 November
- C.1 November
- D.26 November
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 15 November. The day falls on the birth anniversary of Dharti Aaba Bhagwan Birsa Munda, and the Government of India designated it as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas in 2021. This year the Ministry of Tribal Affairs is observing a full fortnight, Janjatiya Gaurav Pakhwada, from 1 to 15 November 2026, which culminates on the Diwas itself. Option A, 9 August, is a strong distractor because that date is observed as the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, a different occasion altogether. Option C, 1 November, is wrong: that is the opening day of the Pakhwada, not the Diwas, and examiners often set the start of a fortnight against its closing day. Option D, 26 November, is wrong as well, and is associated with Constitution Day. Candidates should remember the pair together: the fortnight runs from 1 November and the Diwas is on 15 November.
