World Cotton Day is celebrated every year on 7 October.
A resolution to celebrate this day was passed by the United Nations General Assembly in the year 2019.
The proposal to celebrate this day was given by the African countries Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali.
This day was celebrated for the first time in the year 2019 itself.
The theme of World Cotton Day 2023 has been 'Making cotton fair and sustainable for all from farm to fashion'.
The reason for celebrating this day is to make all the necessary changes to increase and promote cotton production.
