Jashn-e Azadi is a tribute to the countless sacrifice made by our countrymen for Independence and a showcase of our journey of nation building, after the independence, culmination into the fast rising global powerhouse that India is, today. It’s an effort to bring together the youth of the country and to draw them into building a better India. To convey this, we have been organizing Jashn- E Azadi sinc e 2013, and we are thrilled to share that every year the participation is growing by leaps & bounds .
