Mahaparinirvan Divas: Maharashtra Schools & Banks Shut Today

The Maharashtra govt declared a public holiday for Mahaparinirvan Divas on Friday, marking Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s death anniversary. On this day, schools and banks across the state will remain closed. We remember Ambedkar, a key architect of India’s Constitution, for his fight against caste discrimination and his pivotal role in shaping India’s legal framework.
