Income Tax Day or Aaykar Diwas
The Income Tax department observes July 24 every year as Income Tax Day or 'Aaykar Diwas', to commemorate the introduction of provision of income tax in the country. This year (22023) is the 163rd anniversary of Income Tax Day.
On July 24, 1860, Sir James Wilson introduced income tax for the first time in India. Wilson did this to compensate for the losses suffered by the British regime during the first war of independence in 1857. 'Aaykar Diwas' was celebrated for the first time on July 24, 2010, to mark 150 years of income tax in India.
Since income tax was first levied as a duty in the year 1860 and the authority to levy that duty came into force on July 24 of that year, it was proposed to celebrate this day as Income Tax Investiture Day.
Headquartered in New Delhi, the Income Tax department is responsible for direct tax collection for the Government of India. It functions under the Department of Revenue in the Ministry of finance, and is headed by an apex body called the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).

National Broadcasting Day
On July 23, India commemorates National Broadcasting Day to honour the profound influence of radio in our lives. This significant day marks the inception of India's first-ever radio broadcast, known as 'All India Radio (AIR)'. To celebrate this occasion, All India Radio (AIR) organized a symposium in New Delhi focused on discussing the role of broadcasting in shaping a modern India and exploring new mediums of communication.
Radio broadcasting in India commenced as private initiatives in 1923 and 1924, with the establishment of radio clubs in Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras (now Chennai). However, due to financial constraints, these stations had to shut down.
Subsequently, a Broadcasting Service was introduced on an experimental basis in July 1927 in Bombay and a month later in Calcutta, through an agreement between the Government of India and a private company called the Indian Broadcasting Company Ltd.
In response to public outcry over the closure of the Indian Broadcasting Company, the Government took charge of broadcasting on April 1, 1930, renaming it the Indian State Broadcasting Service (ISBS). Initially experimental, it became permanently under government control in 1932.
A new radio station was established in Delhi in 1936. On June 8 of the same year, the Indian Broadcasting Service was rebranded as All India Radio (AIR), with a fresh signature tune. The Delhi station eventually grew into the core of national-level broadcasting.

World Brain Day
World Brain Day is celebrated globally on July 22nd every year. The day promotes education, research, and support for individuals affected by brain-related conditions.
On July 22, 1957, the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) was established. The idea of observing July 22 as World Brain Day originated from a proposal put forth by the Public Awareness and Advocacy Committee. This proposal was presented during the World Congress of Neurology (WCN) Council of Delegates meeting on September 22, 2013, and it received a warm and enthusiastic response from the delegates. Following this positive reception, the Board of Trustees approved the concept in their meeting held in February 2014, making it an annual event to be celebrated on the same date each year.
The theme for World Brain Day 2023 was 'Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind'.
Pi Approximation Day
Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7 in the day/month date format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a common approximation of π, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes. A number of people celebrate March 14 as Pi Day as the date lines up in the numbers of the famous constant 3.14. However, such a format of writing dates is mostly followed in the US.
Pi (π) was known and used ancient times approximated for almost 4000 years. The ancient Babylonians also calculated the area of the circle by taking three times the square of its radius which gave the value of pi equals to three. Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world was the first person to do the calculation of π. Archimedes tried to show that the value π is between 3 1/7 and 3 10/71.
Pi Approximation Day is observed annually to celebrate the usage of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pie day is observed on March 14 and Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22.
Pie Day was founded by Larry Shaw in the year 1988. On November 2019 United Nations designated Pi Day as the International Day of Mathematics.
