About Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav
Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is the Government of India’s celebration of 75 years of Independence. It began on 12 March 2021 at Sabarmati Ashram, where the Prime Minister flagged off a symbolic Dandi Yatra and a 75-week countdown to the 75th anniversary of Independence. Its events, held across every state and in more than 150 countries, remember the unsung heroes of the freedom struggle and look ahead to India at 100.
