World Telecommunication Day

We celebrate World Telecommunication Day!

A date to raise awareness on the important role of information & communication technologies for continued functioning of societies and economies.


The World Telecommunication Day history dates back to 1969 when the event was first recognised but it only came to be celebrated in 2005. World Telecommunication Day is an amalgamation of two different events related to ICT. While the World Telecommunication Society Day is considered the founding day of the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) when the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention took place, World Information Day is a celebration of the advent of ICT. In November 2006, the ITU decided to combine both these events, therefore adopting the new term 'World Telecommunication and Information Society Day' (WTISD) and bringing this widely-recognised event to light. This day is observed each year to raise awareness about the importance of the Internet, how it has brought societies and economies together and how it will change the future.
