National Librarian’s Day – Honouring the Keepers of Knowledge
Origin of National Librarian’s Day
Dr. S. R. Ranganathan – His Contribution to Libraries & Education
-
Books are for use – Libraries should make books accessible to everyone.
-
Every reader his/her book – There is a book for every person’s needs and interests.
-
Every book its reader – Every book should find its audience.
-
Save the time of the reader – Library services should be efficient.
-
The library is a growing organism – Libraries should keep evolving with time.
Significance of the Day
National Librarian’s Day is not just about celebrating librarians — it is about recognising the role of libraries as gateways to knowledge. On this day:
-
Schools, colleges, and public libraries organise events to promote reading.
-
Librarians are appreciated for their work in guiding readers and managing resources.
-
Awareness is created about the importance of preserving books, manuscripts, and digital information.
In a fast-paced digital world, the relevance of librarians remains as strong as ever. They are the navigators who help us find trustworthy information, whether in printed books or in the vast ocean of the internet.
Why It Matters for Students
For students, this day is a reminder that:
-
Libraries are treasure houses of knowledge waiting to be explored.
-
Reading is not just for exams — it opens doors to imagination, creativity, and wisdom.
-
Librarians are friends and guides who can help you find the right resources to learn and grow.
A Thought to Remember

Celebrating National Handloom Day – August 7
Celebrating National Handloom Day – August 7
On August 7, we celebrate National Handloom Day to honour India's rich weaving traditions and salute the skilled weavers who keep them alive.
National Handloom Day was first observed on August 7, 2015, by the Government of India. This date was chosen to mark the beginning of the Swadeshi Movement in 1905, when Indians united to promote indigenous industries and boycott British goods. The movement highlighted the importance of handloom as a symbol of self-reliance and national pride. Since then, this day is celebrated every year to recognize the contribution of weavers to India's economy and cultural heritage.
The handloom industry not only reflects our cultural identity but also provides employment to over 35 lakh people, many of whom are women.
What’s Special in 2025?
-
11th National Handloom Day will be officially celebrated at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, with President Droupadi Murmu as the Chief Guest. The event will be attended by around 650 weavers, distinguished guests, and government officials. Honours including 5 Sant Kabir Awards and 19 National Handloom Awards will be conferred to outstanding artisans.
What’s Happening Around It?
-
Live weave exhibitions
-
Interactive workshops and quizzes
-
Storytelling installations and guided student toursThere's also a broader week-long programme (1–8 August), including loom demonstrations, Handloom Haat exhibitions, “Haat on Wheels” mobile outlets, a loom hackathon by IIT Delhi, an international expo, and fashion shows featuring iconic textiles.
Why It Matters
-
The handloom sector is vital to India’s cultural and economic fabric, contributing nearly 22% of cloth production and employing millions of artisans—with over 70% women weavers.
-
Handloom Day and the surrounding events aim to highlight sustainability, slow fashion, rural empowerment, and the rich diversity of India’s weaving traditions.
