Celebration of Independence Day of India

15th August, 2014 in India and world over is being commemorated as the 68th Independence Day of India. The Prime Minister of India will hoist the tricolor National Flag from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort in New Delhi.

In his address to the nation on the eve of Independence Day, the Hon'ble Pranab Mukherjee, President of India, inter alia, said the following:

"Freedom is a celebration; independence is a challenge. In the 68th year of freedom, we have reaffirmed the power of our individual and collective liberties by electing through a remarkably peaceful electoral process, a stable government with a clear majority for a single party, after three decades. The increase in voter turnout to 66 per cent from the last election's 58 per cent shows the vitality of our democracy. This achievement has given us an opportunity to take up the challenge of governance by reforming the policies, practices and systems of governance so that the enormous aspirations of our people can be fulfilled with vision, commitment, integrity, speed and administrative capability."

In Belgrade, H.E. Mrs. Narinder Chauhan, Ambassador of India, will hoist the Indian National Flag on Friday, the 15th August 2014 at India House.
