Republic Day is celebrated on 26th January every year to honor the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950, marking the day when India became a republic. The celebration begins with a grand flag hoisting ceremony, usually led by the chief guest or a prominent figure, followed by the National Anthem. On this day, parades showcasing India’s rich cultural diversity, military strength, and achievements are held, particularly in the national capital, New Delhi, at Rajpath. The Republic Day parade is a major highlight, with performances, floats, and displays representing various states, along with the showcasing of the nation's defense capabilities.
In educational institutions and across the country, Republic Day celebrations typically include flag hoisting, cultural programs, patriotic songs, and speeches that highlight India’s democratic values and the significance of the Constitution. It is a day of national pride, celebrating India’s sovereignty, unity, and the ongoing journey of progress and inclusiveness.
