Republic Day Message
Happy Republic Day 2026!
On this day, we remember the historic moment when the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950, giving our nation its true identity as a sovereign, democratic republic.
While Independence Day marks our freedom from colonial rule, Republic Day celebrates the spirit of self-governance and the values enshrined in our Constitution—justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.
This day also reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless freedom fighters, visionaries the members of the Constituent Assembly, who gave us a guiding document to shape our future.
Across the nation, parades, cultural programs, and the solemn Beating Retreat ceremony honour our armed forces and pay tribute to the martyrs who safeguarded our sovereignty.
Let us celebrate this Republic Day with pride, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to uphold the ideals of our Constitution.
Jai Hind!
