75 Years of India’s Independence – Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav

This is in reference to the notifications issued by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting regarding the celebrations of 75 years of India’s Independence- “Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav”. Hon’ble Prime Minister inaugurated the year-long celebrations from Gujarat on 12th March 2021, which also marks the 91st anniversary of the historic Salt Satyagraha led by Mahatma Gandhi. Henceforth, all the educational institutions have been advised to celebrate ‘Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav’ by organising plethora of events such as conference/seminar/essay competition, historical walk, visiting museums, historical places and painting competition in their respective campuses as part of the year-long celebrations. The University of Delhi also commenced celebrations of 75 years of India’s Independence ‘Azadi la Amrut Mahotsav’ by organising an inaugural seminar and ‘Charkha Karyashala’ at the Gandhi Bhawan on Friday 12th March 2021 at 11a.m. The Dean Students’ Welfare Office and Gandhi Bhawan jointly organised the event.

Towards this endeavor, the active participation of our constituent colleges would be highly appreciable and relevant. In this context, it is proposed that each college will be requested to organize various online activities/events in their respective Colleges and encourage students to participate and celebrate the landmark achievements. The festival of 75 years of independence should be such that the spirit of the freedom struggle, a tribute to the martyrs and a pledge and resolve to build India of their dreams could be experienced. The series of events organized to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence would be based on public participation and revolve around five themes: (i) the freedom struggle, (ii) ideas, (iii) achievements, (iv) actions and (v) resolve at 75.

In this regard, each College will be requested to appoint a Nodal officer/s to facilitate the activities based on the theme – 75 years of India’ Independence ‘Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav’ in their respective Colleges. The contact details (mobile number and email id) of the same should be mailed to the office of DSW as the nodal centre.
