REPUBLIC DAY 2021
Dear Students,
Republic Day is celebrated on January 26 every year to remember the day when the Constitution of India came into effect after India gained independence after a very long freedom struggle. A salute of 21 guns and the unfurling of the Indian National Flag by Dr. Rajendra Prasad heralded the historic birth of the Indian Republic on that day. Thereafter 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and was recognised as the Republic Day of India. Ever since the historic day, January 26 is celebrated with festivities and patriotic fervor all around the country.
MyGov is hosting various online activities to celebrate our 72nd Republic Day
Ministry of Education in association with Ministry of Defence, is organising a QUIZ COMPETITION, an ESSAY COMPETITION, and a PATRIOTIC POETRY COMPETITION for school students. All participants will get Certificates.
