1st April is given the name “April Fool”

April Fools’ Day (sometimes called All Fools’ Day) is celebrated every year on April 1 by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and their victims are called April fools. People playing April Fool jokes expose their prank by shouting April Fool. Some newspapers, magazines, and other published media report fake stories, which are usually explained the next day or below the news section in small letters. Although popular since the 19th century, the day is not a public holiday in any country.

Geoffrey Chaucer‘s The Canterbury Tales (1392) contains the first recorded association between April 1 and foolishness.

But as we can see that in India, our Educational session and Financial year starts from 1st April, so let’s stop naming 1st April as April Fool’s Day. Instead celebrate it as our New Year.
