150 Years of India’s National Song ‘Vande Mataram’
MyGov Pulse – your consolidated fortnightly citizen connect newsletter – is here once again to keep you informed and engaged with the initiatives of the Government of India.
This edition opens with a special feature on 150 Years of Vande Mataram, celebrating our national song that united India’s spirit during the freedom struggle and continues to inspire patriotism and purpose today. Rabindranath Tagore once said that Bankimchandra’s ‘Anandamath’ is not just a novel but the dream of a free India. Within it, the hymn Vande Mataram carries deep meaning that continues to resonate even today. Vande Mataram was composed during the era of slavery, but its words were never imprisoned by the shadow of oppression. That is why Vande Mataram remains relevant in every age, in every era — it has attained immortality. The story reflects how the timeless message of “Vande Mataram” embodies the nation’s collective consciousness — a song that transcends generations to define our identity and unity.
This edition also pays special coverage to Rashtriya Ekta Diwas 2025, marking the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. As you unfold the pages, you will explore his unmatched role in forging a united India and showcasing national initiatives that embody his vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.
In ‘India Anchors Its Maritime Leadership’, you will get to explore how India’s maritime power is being redefined through landmark achievements like the operationalisation of Vizhinjam Port, shipbuilding investments, and the strengthening of our blue economy. The UDAN story reflects India’s growing air connectivity—bringing smaller towns closer to national development. Our coverage of PM-ABHIM highlights how the health infrastructure mission is building a resilient and inclusive healthcare system for all.
On the global front, the 22nd ASEAN-India Summit showcases India’s Act East policy in action, while features on Gallantry Awards and Rashtriya Vigyan Puraskar celebrate India’s scientific, defence, and human excellence.
As always, our Transforming India Stories highlight milestones in economic growth, technology, infrastructure, space, environment and social empowerment, while the Social Media Corner provides crisp insights into India’s progress toward Viksit Bharat 2047.
We hope this edition inspires every reader to stay informed, engaged, and proud of India’s journey toward Viksit Bharat 2047.
