The most loved President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was a scientist who made India proud with his missile defence programme. But his favourite job was teaching and that’s how he wanted the world to remember him. Due to his love for students and focus on promoting education, the United Nations declared his birthday (October 15) as ‘World Student’s Day’ in 2010.

Still, It is NOT mentioned in the 'UN International Days' list. According to the UN official website, "15 October is mentioned as International Day of Rural Women".
