World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day is observed on 14/11/2026 in India. It commemorates the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin, marked globally since 1991. The day is typically marked by free blood-sugar screening camps, especially relevant given India's large diabetic population.

For schools, offices and government bodies, this date often means half-day schedules, special assemblies, or public holidays depending on the state — worth checking your local calendar if you're planning around it.
