First it was the National Students Day in India, dedicated to the birthday of Awul Pakir Jainulabdin Abdul Kalam Maraikayar, an Indian scientist and statesman, President of India from July 2002 to July 2007. In 2010, the United Nations declared October 15 "World Students Day".
Many people including politicians and officials in India have been spreading that the UN has declared the birthday of former Indian President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam as World Students' Day. It has been celebrated all over the world in honour of him since 2010. For the last few years even those who have held important positions in India have been spreading and celebrating it, no one knows how it originated. Rajiv Chandran, UN Information Center for India and Bhutan National Information Officer, told a national media that the United Nations had not made such a statement.
The date of 17th November was chosen to be the International Students' Day due to the events that unfolded in Prague during World War II. Nine students were executed without trail in concentration camps on the 17th November 1939. Nowadays, November 17 marks a celebration of multiculturalism of international students.
