On 15 August 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation from the historic Red Fort, marking another milestone in the country’s journey since independence. Ahead of the main event, the distinguished invitees were given a guided experience of Delhi’s rich political and cultural history.
Tour Highlights: Parliament and More
The guests, comprising achievers from various walks of life, toured the Parliament House — a symbol of India’s democratic framework. Officials guided them through the central hall and other key chambers, explaining the historical significance of the building’s architecture and its role in shaping the nation’s policies.
In addition to Parliament, the itinerary included visits to other prominent landmarks in New Delhi. These sites, representing India’s cultural heritage and modern aspirations, allowed visitors to witness the blend of history and progress that defines the capital.
Celebrating the Spirit of Independence
The tour forms part of the government’s larger outreach programme to make Independence Day celebrations more inclusive and engaging. The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav campaign has been highlighting stories of unsung heroes, landmark achievements, and the nation’s journey over the decades.
According to the Ministry of Women and Child Development, this year’s special guests include social reformers, educators, grassroots workers, and individuals recognised for exceptional contributions to their communities. Their presence at the Red Fort will symbolise the nation’s gratitude for their service.
Security and Preparations in Full Swing
Authorities have stepped up security arrangements across the capital in anticipation of the celebrations. Multiple agencies are coordinating to ensure the safety of dignitaries, guests, and the general public during the Prime Minister’s address and associated events.
Significance of the 79th Independence Day
This year’s Independence Day is not just a commemoration of the country’s freedom struggle but also a reaffirmation of its commitment to democratic values and inclusive growth. The presence of special guests from diverse backgrounds reflects the government’s intent to recognise contributions beyond political and military achievements.
As the nation looks forward to the Prime Minister’s address, the pre-event tours have set the tone for a celebration rooted in pride, unity, and a shared vision for the future.
