Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Development Information Day is observed annually on October 24, coinciding with United Nations Day, to emphasise the critical role of information and communication technology (ICT) in addressing global development challenges. The 2025 theme focuses on using digital innovation and media to foster economic progress, cooperation, and sustainable development worldwide. The day encourages public awareness about development issues, promotes informed decision-making, and empowers citizens through access to knowledge. ICT enables trade enhancement, conflict resolution, education, and connectivity, acting as a key driver for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and equitable growth in developing nations.
