"Nation First, Always First" is the theme of Independence Day 2022.

On which day we celebrate Independence Day? 

We celebrate Independence Day every year in the month of August.  Like every year, this year we will also celebrate Independence Day on August 15, 2022.

Why we celebrate Independence Day? 

We celebrate Independence Day every year because on this day we got freedom from British rule.  After a very long time we got India rid of British rule.  On this day i.e. on the night of 15th August 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, unfurled the national flag at the Red Fort for the first time.

This year we are celebrating the 75th year of Independence Day which is being celebrated as Amrit Mahotsav.

Why is 75th Independence Day or Amrit Mahotsav special?

This year we will celebrate 75th independence day and amrit mahotsav. This year's Amrit Mahotsav is going to be very special because to make this year special, the government has set a target of installing 200 million tricolor flags.

When was the first Independence Day celebrated?

We celebrated Independence Day for the first time on August 15,1947. This year we are celebrating 75th anniversary of Independence Day.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What should a man not for living?

 - Mahatma Gandhi 

"long years ago, we made a Tryst with destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom".

- Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru

"Freedom is not Mere matter of political decision or new constitutions... It is of the mind and heart and if the mind narrows itself and is befogged and the heart is full of bitterness and hatred, then freedom is absent".

- Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru

Independence Day is a very special day for us.  This day tells us about our freedom fighters.  It also tells us about the sacrifices made to liberate our country.  On this day we get a chance to know about those great personalities who gave their lives to free us from the British rule and gave us complete freedom to live life.  So we should understand its importance and celebrate it every year as an important festival.
