Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule is observed every year on 11th April to honor the great social reformer, thinker, and educationist Mahatma Jyotirao Phule. He was born in 1827 in Maharashtra, India. Jyotirao Phule dedicated his life to fighting against caste discrimination, social injustice, and inequality.
He strongly believed that education was the key to social change. Along with his wife Savitribai Phule, he started one of the first schools for girls in India and worked for the education of women and marginalized communities. He also supported widow remarriage and opposed child marriage.
His birth anniversary reminds us of the values of equality, education, justice, and human dignity. Mahatma Phule’s contributions continue to inspire generations in building a fair and inclusive society.
