India is completing the 75 years of Independence on 15th August 2022, and it will celebrate the 76th Independence Day. The Indian Government decided to celebrate the 75 years of Independence of India with great excitement and tribute to freedom fighters. The celebration is named “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” - A great Celebration for the Amirtham of Independence, under the theme –“Nation First, Always First.”
Amrit Mahotsav signifies Nectar of grand celebration, which symbolizes the 75 years of India's independence from the British Raj. The overall celebrations commenced on 12 March 2021 and will continue until 15 August 2023. It includes diverse programs, rallies, performances, community carnivals, etc. On 31 July 2022, in Man Ki Baat PM Narendra Modi requested Indians to replace their social media display picture with the Indian Flag from 2 August to 15 August. The Indian government has begun a campaign Har Ghar Tiranga, where it is enabling the delivery of a 20 x 30 inch National flag to every family at a subsidy rate of Rs 25. They have intended to hoist over 200 million Tricolours to mark this special occasion.
The aroma of patriotism can be sensed in every corner of the nation from dawn to dusk as it gets ready to mark 75 years of Independence from British rule in India. The country has dipped into the ocean of tricolour, and so the citizens are. The ramparts of the Red Fort have also been settled down to mark the auspicious occasion. Persisting the nation's customs, the Prime Minister will host the flag, address the citizens from the rampart and present the roadmap to boost the nation's growth.
What is expected to be included in PM's speech?
While addressing the nation from Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to devote considerable time to ongoing and proposed initiatives in the health care segment. He may also emphasize financial inclusion and digital banking, as well as the resilience of the Indian economy in the face of external challenges. His speech will also not be short of applauding the outstanding efforts of Indian athletes who have added medals, making the nation proud during the Commonwealth Games 2022 and those who missed out this year.
During the third national committee meeting on 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav,' PM Modi said that Amrit Mahotsav is a golden opportunity to create youths' emotional connections with nation-building. The patriotic zeal which was witnessed during the freedom struggle was remarkable. The same enthusiasm is required to be imbibed in the present generation and channeled for nation-building. The national unity must be nourished and nurtured to boost India as "Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat" because a united nation is progressive. India is going through an epoch of "Amrit Kaal" discovering its resolves, leading the country to the "peak of success" in the next 25 years. The public would be looking forward to the same.
On the eve of Independence Day, President Droupadi Murmu will greet the citizens in her first ceremonial address to the nation after becoming President of India. The President, too, will host the Indian contingent, whom she has invited over for high tea.
