With the themes of ‘Viksit Bharat’ and ‘Bharat – Loktantra ki Matruka’, the 75^th Republic Day Parade at Kartavya Path on January 26, 2024 will be women-centric. Women marching contingents will form the major chunk of the parade, with most of the tableaux of States/Union Territories (UTs) and Central Ministries/Organisations showcasing the country’s rich cultural diversity, unity and progress. ‘India is truly a mother of democracy’.

For the first time, the parade will be heralded by 100 women artists playing Indian musical instruments. The parade would commence with the music of Sankh, Naadswaram, Nagada, etc. to be played by women artists.

The parade will also witness an all-women Tri-Service contingent marching down Kartavya Path for the first time. The CAPF contingents will also consist of women personnel. Surely, it would be a boost for girls and will inspire them to join forces
