This Republic Day is indeed going to be a special one, since for the first time, 100 women artists in the costumes of their respective states will participate in the parade. The participants will be seen playing conch shells, drums, and other traditional instruments in the parade where the themes will be ‘Vikshit Bharat’ (Developed India) and ‘India: Mother of Democracy’ (Bharat: Loktantra Ki Jannee).’
Additionally, for the first time, 1,500 women artists from 30 states will present folk and classical dances. Along with this, about 1,900 sarees from all the States will be displayed on the Kartavya path.
Worth mentioning, the Republic Day parade always begins with the military band. However, this time, female artists will inaugurate the parade along with traditional musical instruments who have been practicing dance presentations for the past month.
The Centre has announced the selection of 1,132 personnel of police, fire service, home guard and civil defence and correctional service for gallantry and service medals on the occasion of this year’s Republic Day.
Border Security Force’s two Head Constables– late Sanwala Ram Vishnoi and late Shishu Pal Singh– have been selected posthumously for President’s Medal for Gallantry (PMG) on this Republic Day.
Of these 1,132 personnel, President’s Medal for Gallantry (PMG) has been awarded to two personnel, Medals for Gallantry (GM) to 275, President’s Medals for Distinguished Service (PSM) to 102 and Medal for Meritorious Service (MSM) to 753 personnel.
