Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister conveyed his best wishes on the occasion of Parakram Diwas, which is celebrated on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary.
Referring to Netaji’s fight against the mentality of slavery, PM Modi said Netaji would have been proud of the new consciousness and pride pervading the young generation of today’s India.
“This new awareness has become the energy for creating Viksit Bharat. Today’s youth is adopting Panch Pran and stepping out of the mentality of slavery,” he said.
“Netaji’s life and his contributions are an inspiration for the youth of India”, PM Modi emphasized, hoping that this inspiration is always carried forward.
In this belief, the Prime Minister highlighted the efforts of the government in the last 10 years and mentioned giving the deserved respect by establishing Netaji’s statue on Kartavya Path which reminds every citizen about his dedication to duty.
Modi also launched ‘Bharat Parv’ which will showcase the nation’s rich diversity with Republic Day Tableaux and cultural exhibitions.
The Prime Minister took a walkthrough of the technology-led interactive Exhibition of the National Archives comprising of photos, paintings, books and sculptures on Netaji and also witnessed a drama, synced with projection mapping, on the life of Netaji presented by the National School of Drama.
He also felicitated Lt R Madhavan, the only living INA Veteran.
Parakram Diwas is celebrated from 2021 onwards on the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, in line with the Prime Minister’s vision to duly honour the contribution of luminaries who played a significant role in the freedom struggle.
