PM Modi has sought public opinion via MyGov and the NaMo app for the Independence Day 2025 speech. Through suggestions, people can directly participate in the speech.
Independence Day: India is going to celebrate its 79th Independence Day on August 15, 2025. On this special occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will once again address the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort. But this time, he has taken a new initiative to ensure public participation in his speech. PM Modi has urged the countrymen to suggest the topics they would like him to speak on in his address.
PM Modi Seeks Suggestions
Prime Minister Modi shared a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying, "As we approach this year's Independence Day, I am eager to hear from my fellow Indians. What are the themes or ideas you would like to see reflected in this year's Independence Day address?"
Suggestions can be sent through MyGov and NaMo App
The public can use the MyGov platform or the NaMo app to convey their thoughts and suggestions to the Prime Minister. An open forum has been started on both these mediums, where people can express their views. This is being considered a step towards participative governance.
What kind of issues can be raised in the speech?
Every year, the Prime Minister's Independence Day speech focuses on the country's policies, achievements, and future plans. This time, since the public has been given the opportunity to give suggestions, it is likely that issues such as education, employment, women empowerment, technological innovation, environmental protection, and agricultural reforms will receive more emphasis.
PM will address from Red Fort for the 12th time
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation from the Red Fort for the 12th time in 2025. Since 2014, he has been addressing the country every year on Independence Day. His speeches generally include announcements of schemes, reviews of development, and discussions on the future direction.
Tight security arrangements in Delhi
Ahead of Independence Day, Delhi Police has increased vigilance regarding security arrangements. Checking operations have been conducted at hotels, railway stations, bus terminals, metro stations, and major locations in the city. According to a PTI report, security loopholes have been identified at more than 100 locations so far. Problems such as defective CCTV cameras, insecure areas, and negligent surveillance have been identified.
5-day security check campaign
Delhi Police conducted a 5-day security check campaign in various parts of the city. During this, hotels, parking areas, areas near metro stations, eateries, and public transport sites were thoroughly investigated. This campaign was conducted to deal with any potential threat during the Independence Day celebrations.
Nation will connect with public participation
The Prime Minister seeking opinion from the public for the speech is not just a formality, but an effort to strengthen the roots of democracy. This shows that the voice of the country is the government's priority and people can participate in policy discussions.
