The Hon’ble Prime Minister inaugurated the year-long celebrations from Gujarat on 12th March 2021, which also marks the 91st anniversary of the historic Salt Satyagraha led by Mahatma Gandhi. The celebrations which commenced 75 weeks before the 75th anniversary of Independence will end on 15th August 2023. To mark this unforgettable occasion the Union Government has announced a 75-week programme. The festival of 75 years of independence will not only endeavour to reflect the spirit of freedom struggle but also offer a tribute to the martyrs. It will be a pledge and resolve to build India of their dreams. The series of events organized by the Government to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence will be based on public participation and revolve around five themes- the freedom struggle, ideas, achievements, actions and resolve at 75.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that the festival should encompass the glimpse of the pride of Sanatan Bharat and the glory of Modern India. He said that it should reflect the light of the spirituality of the sages along with highlighting the capabilities and strengths of our scientists depicting the magnificent journey of our Nation. He further emphasizes ‘creating a vision’ for India@2047. Social and cultural events, showcasing scientific accomplishments and technological advancements will be a part of these celebrations. It will be an attempt to highlight the contributions of not only the known but also the unacknowledged valiant freedom fighters.
