73rd Republic Day 2022

 January 26 is celebrated by India as Republic Day every year since 1950 to 2022.It is the 73rd edition and Republic Day 2022 is going to be unique in some aspects and similar in a few other like 2021 this year also Republic Day celebration has been hit back by the third wave of COVID pandemic. So obviously things are going to be a bit different.

Keeping in view the spike in coronavirus cases, the guestlist for the parade has been cut short and only 24,000 people were allowed this time at the grand event. Out of these 24,000 people, 19,000 have been invited while the rest were the general public who purchased tickets. Before the pandemic took over the world, over one lakh people were allowed to watch the event live.


Prior to broadcasting the parade live, the screens  broadcasted short films on the Armed forces, clips of previous marches and clips of other events in the run-up of the day. 


However, this is the second consecutive year, when no special foreign dignitary has been invited to be the special guest of the programme. However, the event was witnessed a series of launch programmes and other activities. 


In a first, the Republic Day parade  held on the new-look Central Vista in Delhi. On the same day, Shaheedon Ko Shat Shat Naman, a nationwide flagship programme of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) was launched as part of 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' to honour the sacrifices of martyrs. According to media reports, this year's Republic Day falls in the 75th year of India's Independence, which was celebrated as Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.


At the time the Nation paied homage to soldiers   families of 5,000 fallen heroes were presented with the Plaque of Gratitude by National Cadet Corp members all over the country.


Additionally, around 75 aircraft including Rafale, Sukhoi, Jaguar, Mi-17, Sarang  participated in the traditional Fly-Past marking the end of the grand parade. The Fly-Past witnessed 15 different formations by these aircraft/helicopters.
