The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions (Department of Personnel & Training) vide order dated 19th March has declared 14th April 2015 as a closed holiday as the  Birth Anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution of India and also the messiah of the exploited scheduled castes. So far well and good.

But why the declaration every year just before the 14th April? It should be declared as a holiday, along with the calendar of Holidays being published by the government before the start of the year. We do not understand why is the hesitation to do so.

The government should certainly consider the suggestion.
