Sandbhavana Diwas or Harmony Day - 20 August 2022.

The birth anniversary of India’s sixth prime minister Rajiv Gandhi is observed as Sandbhavana Diwas or Harmony Day every year on August 20 in the country. Sadbhavna Diwas 2022 commemorates the 78th birth anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi on 20th August 2022.

It is dedicated to the cause of encouraging peace, national integration, and communal harmony among all religions in the country. On Harmony Day, several cultural events and contests are organised across states. 

On this day, people take a pledge of working towards establishing peace and harmony in the country.

The day was first observed in 1992, more than a year after Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a suicide bomb attack in Tamil Nadu’s Sriperumbudur.
