The country is all set to witness India's military might and cultural diversity at Rajpath during the Republic Day parade 2022.
Republic Day Parade 2022 is all set to showcase India's military might and cultural diversity at Rajpath to mark the celebration of the 75th year of Independence as part of 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav'.
To mark the occasion, the Ministry of Defence has conceptualised a series of new events during the main parade and ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony at Vijay Chowk on January 29. It has been decided that the Republic Day celebrations will now be week-long from January 23 to January 30 every year.
The parade at Rajpath will start at 10.30 am instead of the earlier timing of 10 am to provide better visibility for the parade and flypast.
Several firsts have been planned during the main parade of Republic Day 2022. A drone show by 1,000 indigenously developed drones has also been planned for ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony, along with projection mapping.
For a better viewing experience at the parade, 10 large LED screens - five on each side of Rajpath will be installed and screens will show the live show.
-A nationwide flagship programme of NCC ‘Shaheedon Ko Shat Shat Naman’ will be launched to honour the supreme sacrifices of the fallen heroes in defending the nation.
-Ten scrolls each of 75 metres in length and 15 ft in height, will be displayed along the Rajpath during the parade. They were prepared during the ‘Kala Kumbh’ event jointly organised by the Ministries of Defence and Culture.
