a full holiday on this day.

Answer 2

Its really very interesting reason for the holiday on second saturday every month.

There was a very sincere assisstant for a british officer during 19th century. He used to go to his hometown to meet his parents only during holidays. This routine continued for years together. As the days passed, the assisstant's responsibilities were also started increasing which made him to work more with lesser holidays. One day it so happened that the assisstant's parents came to meet their son. They went to the officer with a request to send their son on leave. Then that officer came to know the fact that his assisstant was so much involved in his work and did not find any free time to meet his aged parents. This situation made the officer to appreciate the sincerity and loyalty of his assisstant and declared holiday on second saturday of every month to go to his hometown. Eversince he made this announcement, the British government incorporated this rule and announced holiday officially. This culture has been followed by the Indian government for specific departments.
