India is gearing up to celebrate its 79th Independence Day on Friday, August 15, 2025—and this year, it’s all about citizen participation, sustainability, and a touch of digital flair. With a long weekend ahead, expect everything from tree plantations to heritage walks to make this year’s celebration stand out.
A Celebration for Everyone
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is once again asking citizens to share their ideas for his Red Fort speech through platforms like MyGov and the NaMo App. It’s a way to make sure the big day reflects what people actually care about—whether it’s tech innovation, youth empowerment, or social harmony.
This year, schools, colleges, and communities are hosting painting competitions, patriotic dress-up contests, and creative writing challenges to get everyone, especially young people, involved.
