Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to inaugurate
the year-long Commemoration of 150 Years of
the National Song “Vande Mataram” on 7th
November 2025
Posted On: 05 NOV 2025 8:58PM by PIB Delhi
The Ministry of Culture will organize the Inaugural Ceremony of the Commemoration of 150 Years
of the National Song “Vande Mataram” on 7 November 2025 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium,
New Delhi. The occasion will be graced by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi as the Chief
Guest. This event marks the formal launch of a year-long nationwide commemoration from 7th
November 2025 to 7 November 2026, celebrating 150 years of this timeless composition which
inspired India’s freedom movement and continues to evoke national pride and unity.
2025 marks 150 Years of Vande Mataram. Our national song “Vande Mataram”, by Bankimchandra
Chatterji is believed to have been written during the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Navami which
was on 7th November in 1875. Vande Mataram first appeared in the literary journal Bangadarshan as
part of his novel Anandamath in a serialised manner and later as a standalone book in 1882. During
that period, India was undergoing major social, cultural and political changes, and there was a
growing consciousness of national identity and resistance to colonial rule. The song, invoking the
Motherland as the embodiment of strength, prosperity and divinity, gave poetic expression to India’s
awakening spirit of unity and self-respect. It soon became an enduring symbol of devotion to the
nation. On 24 January 1950, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, President of the Constituent Assembly, declared
that “Vande Mataram”, having played a historic role in the freedom struggle, shall be accorded equal
honour with the National Anthem “Jana Gana Mana.”
The celebrations will commence at 10:00 AM with a Mass Singing of the full version of “Vande
Mataram” spread across public places and have participation of all citizens, school children, college
students, officials, elected representatives, police personnel, doctors, teachers, drivers, shopkeepers
and all other relevant stakeholders across all segments of society, in conjunction with the main event
in the presence of the Prime Minister.
In recognition of its historic importance and national significance, the Union Cabinet, under the
guidance and leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approved the nationwide
celebrations on 1 October 2025 to mark 150 years of the national song, Vande Mataram.
Subsequently, a year-long commemoration from 7th November 2025 to 7th November 2026 has been
approved by the National Implementation Committee on 24 October 2025.
The salient features of the inaugural ceremony will include:
- Cultural Programme before arrival of the Chief Guest.
- Curated Exhibition tour on the history of 150 Years of National Song Vande Mataram.
- Floral tribute to Bharat Mata.
- Vande Mataram: Naad Ekam, Roopam Anekam: Concert on Culture Stage in front of Chief Guest
