National Unity Day in India 202231st November, 2022
Since 2014, India has observed Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, or National Unity Day, on October 31 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, dubbed the "Iron Man of India."
Rashtriya Ekta Diwas was first observed in India on October 31, 2014.
Sardar Patel's 147th birthday is celebrated on Rashtriya Ekta Diwas 2022.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs declared in 2014 that National Unity Day would be observed on the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to honour his contribution to India's independence and unity.
At a time when India was divided into princely states and British India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel vigorously promoted the idea of unity.
The goal of National Unity Day is to reaffirm Indians' shared unity.
National Unity Day serves as a reminder to Indian citizens of Sardar Patel's and other activists' struggles and sacrifices to bring India together.
