Important Days In April 2024: Here’s A Complete List of International And National Events
From World Health Day to Gudi Padwa, here are a few important dates to remember in April 2024.
The fourth month in the calendar marks the beginning of the new financial year in India. Across the world, the month begins with a day of fun and laughter as April Fools' Day falls on April 1. The month also packs in several important international and national days.
The term ‘April’ is derived from the Latin term ‘Aprilis’, which the ancient Romans named the fourth month of the calendar. However, a few Roman authors believe that ‘Aprilis’ stands for the Latin verb ‘aperire’ which means to open. April is the month for the opening or blooming of buds. However, there is no strong evidence to confirm this belief, and it is a mere theory.
Regardless, there's a lot to look forward to this month.
