Ceiling fans have a stationary armature and the motor moves in the counter-clockwise direction. Since, the blades of the fan are attached to the motor, the ceiling fan rotates in an anti-clockwise direction. ...

The main reason is it's blade construction. Blade construction is such that fan gives air only when fan is rotating in anti-clockwise direction. If fan rotates clockwise direction it won't give air because of it's blade construction

Dear student 
Since the blades of the fan are attached to the motor, the ceiling fan rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
Good Luck …............
