🇮🇳 National Unity Day 2025: Celebrating Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s 150th Birth Anniversary
On 31 October 2025, India celebrates Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day) — marking the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India.
Across the nation, unity runs high as people remember Patel’s unmatched contribution to integrating 562 princely states into one nation. Events like “Run for Unity”, school rallies, and statue tributes at the Statue of Unity (Gujarat) highlight the message — “One India, Strong India.”
Exam Tip: Rashtriya Ekta Diwas was first observed in 2014 to honor Patel’s legacy.
