March 3rd 2025.
The state government of Bhubaneswar has recently made an important decision regarding the celebration of Panchayati Raj Diwas. Instead of the previous date of March 5, the government has decided to celebrate this important day on April 24, which also happens to be the birthday of the former Chief Minister Biju Patnaik. This decision was made in order to align the state's celebration with the National Panchayati Raj Diwas, which is also observed on April 24.
It is worth noting that March 5 will still hold a special significance in Odisha as it will be marked as a day to honour Biju Babu, but it will no longer be a public holiday. This change was implemented in 2020, as March 5 was previously celebrated as Panchayati Raj Diwas in the state. However, now the state will join in the nationwide celebration of Panchayati Raj Diwas on April 24, where Panchayat representatives from various states are felicitated.
Moreover, the state government has also declared that April 24 will be observed as Lok Seva Diwas, in addition to Panchayati Raj Diwas. This decision was made to emphasize the importance of public service and recognize the efforts of all those who work towards the betterment of society. With these changes, the government aims to create a more unified and synchronized approach towards the celebration of these important days.
