As the country prepares to commemorate the 76th Republic Day, the scene is ready for the major celebration.
Republic Day celebrates the promulgation of India’s Constitution on January 26, 1950.
India’s Constitution went into force in 1950, three years after the country gained independence from Britain in 1947.
With the passage of the Constitution, India declared itself an independent, democratic, and republican nation.
In a press statement, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) stated that this year’s Republic Day Parade will be a unique combination of India’s cultural variety and military capability, celebrating the Constitution’s 75th anniversary and Jan Bhagidari (people partnership).
The Republic Day Parade will begin in the morning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi laying a wreath at the National War Memorial in the nation’s capital.
President Droupadi Murmu will arrive at Kartavya Path in a ceremonial buggy and be saluted during a ceremonial march past by troops from the Armed Forces, Paramilitary Forces, Auxiliary Civil Forces, NCC, and NSS.
The parade is planned to feature 18 marching contingents, 15 bands, and 31 tableaux.
