Important Days of May



Important days are an important part of all government exams. If any of you have given exams like SSC CGLCHSL, or any other one-day Central or state government exams you must have noticed the growing trend of asking important days and their  themes.

Why is it important to cover the important days of all months?

If you cover this section, you can be sure of at least two to four marks in the General Awareness section. So considering its importance, you should not neglect this section at any cost but you don't have to bother much. We will help you cover this portion very swiftly. 
Important days of one month will be covered in each post. So it will take around 12 posts to complete this section. 
We have tried to make it as interactive as possible and have also added bonus information in red. Besides remembering the important days, you must also remember the themes related to that day of the current year.
