On August 15, 2024, India will mark its 78th Independence Day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is the first PM after Pandit Nehru to accomplish the accomplishment, will address the country for the eleventh time in a row from the famous Red Fort’s ramparts.
In 2024, New Delhi, the nation’s capital, will host over 4,000 distinguished visitors for its Independence Day celebrations.
According to sources cited by The Indian Express, special guests invited by the Center for the 2024 Independence Day celebrations include farmers, youth, women, and the poor—all of whom PM Modi referred to as the “four pillars of a developed India” during his first visit to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, after winning reelection in June.
