On March 12, 2021, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi flagged off ‘Padyatra’ (Freedom March) from Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad, to mark the inauguration of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav ([email protected]). He said the celebration will continue till August 15, 2023. He stressed on five themes for the Mahotsav such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and Freedom Struggle. He reiterated that these are the guiding forces for moving forward. For him, Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav means the elixir of energy of Independence. It means elixir of inspirations of the warriors of freedom struggle; elixir of new ideas and pledges and nectar of Aatmanirbharta.

The theme Freedom Struggle anchors the Government’s commemoration initiatives under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. It is instrumental in bringing alive stories of unsung heroes, whose sacrifices have made freedom a reality for us and also revisit the milestones, freedom movements etc. in the historical journey to August 15, 1947. Programmes under this theme included Birsa Munda Jayanti (Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas), Declaration of Provisional Government of Free India by Netaji, Shaheed Diwas etc. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi led the celebrations of Janjatiya Gaurav Divas as part of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav on November 15, 2021.

Highlighting the role of tribals in the freedom movement, Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda said that since ancient times, the tribals have inhabited border areas, including Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur and Nagaland among others and have played a great role in protecting the country. Even before Independence, tribal heroes have played an important role in the struggle for India’s Independence.
