This year’s Republic Day will see a number of new initiatives on the occasion of the 75th year of India’s Independence. These include, among others, celebrating Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary, democratizing who is invited to the At Home functions by the governors, and NCC cadets visiting families of soldiers who laid their lives for the country. Beginning this year, the celebrations for Republic Day will commence on January 23, marking Bose’s 125th birth anniversary this year. There will be a special program on that evening during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will honor the winners of the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Apda Prabandhan Puruskar, which was instituted in 2018, for contribution to the fields of disaster risk management. States and Union Territories have been advised they invite participation from one or more other states for their own Republic Day parade to enhance mutual understanding and bonding. Also in a first, the dancers who will perform the cultural programs in the parade have been selected through a nation-wide competition, which began at the district level with over 3800 participants, from which the final 480 dancers were selected to perform under the Vande Bharatam competition organized by the ministries of defense and culture. Also, there will be a drone show organized by Botlab Dynamics, a start-up supported by the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in which around 1000 drones will participate.
