Ranchi: The main event for Jharkhand’s 25th Foundation Day will now be held on November 28. This date also marks the second anniversary of the formation of the current government. A fortnight-long series of events (a ‘fortnight’ or *pakhwara*) will be organized at district headquarters across the state, starting from November 17 and running through November 27. The Cabinet Secretariat has issued an official order to this effect.
The government has postponed the 25th Foundation Day celebrations, originally scheduled for November 15, as the date coincides with the major festival of Chhath. Typically, the state’s Foundation Day is celebrated on a large scale by the government, often featuring a cultural program in the evening. However, no major government-led events will take place on the actual 25th Foundation Day.
Additionally, a ‘Run for Cleanliness’ event will be held at the district headquarters on November 16. The event is scheduled for 8:00 AM, with the specific location and logistics to be determined by the Deputy Commissioner.
From November 17 to November 27, a ‘Foundation Day Fortnight’ will be observed across all districts of the state. The specific programs for this period will be decided by senior district officials. Following the conclusion of this fortnight, the main state-level event will be held in Ranchi on November 28.
