The Education Department of the Government of Maharashtra decided to celebrate 7 November as 'Student's Day' across the Indian state on 27 October 2017.[8][9] Despite having a very high standard of scholarship and knowledge, Ambedkar considered himself a lifelong student, and as he became an ideal student, the government declared his school admission day as Student Day. On this day, essay competitions, oratory, poetry reading competitions on various aspects based on Ambedkar's life are organized in all schools and junior colleges in the state.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
