People and Emblem

People of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav

At the heart of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM) are the people of India. It is they who have carried the nation through centuries of struggle, sacrifice, and progress. The Mahotsav is a tribute to the freedom fighters who envisioned an independent India, the unsung heroes who laid down their lives in silence, and the countless individuals whose contributions built the foundation of modern India.

The people’s role does not end with the past. Today, farmers, workers, women, youth, students, entrepreneurs, and innovators continue to shape India’s future with their tireless efforts. From the massive participation in the Har Ghar Tiranga initiative to the lakhs of cultural, social, and educational events across India and abroad, the spirit of Janbhagidari—people’s participation—has defined the Mahotsav.

The celebration recognizes not just India’s historical journey but also the potential and energy of its citizens to fulfill the vision of India 2.0, a self-reliant and progressive nation. It is the people who embody the true spirit of the Mahotsav, reminding us that India’s strength lies in its unity, diversity, and shared aspirations.

Emblem of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav

The Emblem of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is more than a symbol; it is a visual representation of India’s pride, heritage, and aspirations for the future. Inspired by the tricolour, the emblem carries the essence of freedom, sacrifice, and resilience. The flowing bands of saffron, white, and green signify not only the values enshrined in the national flag but also the dynamic spirit of a nation that continues to evolve while holding firmly to its roots.

The design conveys the idea of progress and continuity—linking the sacrifices of the past with the achievements of the present and the ambitions of the future. It reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Amrit Kaal—a journey toward India@100.

The emblem stands as a constant reminder that the Mahotsav is not only about commemorating 75 years of independence but also about igniting the imagination of a new India. It unites every Indian under the shared banner of pride in the past, strength in the present, and confidence in a future where India aspires to be Viswa Guru—a guiding force for the world.
