The month of April marks the beginning of a new financial year, bringing several changes to rules and regulations. It’s also a month filled with significant cultural and public holidays.
One of the interesting facts about April is its beginning, which starts with playing pranks in the form of ‘April Fools’ Day’. Observed globally on the first day of the month, the origins of this tradition remain unclear. Some records suggest that the custom may be linked to the spring equinox.
In the Indian context, the month brings several important events, including the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the ‘Father of the Indian Constitution’.
