Overview

  • At Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, the Prime Minister inaugurated the programme, released a commemorative stamp and coin, led the recital, and launched a dedicated portal.
  • A synchronized public singing of the full version took place nationwide at about 9:50 a.m., aligning with the main event in the capital.
  • The Centre outlined year-long activities including seminars, exhibitions, short films, special AIR and Doordarshan programming, cultural events via Indian missions, and tree-planting and mural initiatives.
  • Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced a multilingual digital drive under #VandeMataram150 featuring translations and social media participation across languages.
  • Modi said the 1937 decision to use only select stanzas of the song ‘sowed the seeds of partition,’ as states and local offices began tehsil-level events and school outreach to promote singing the full version.
