The important historical monument of India Gate was built in memory of 80,000 Indian soldiers who were killed at the time of the First World War. The Amar Jawan Jyoti at the base of the India Gate is yet another war memorial in honor of all those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. It was added after our country achieved independence.

The nation celebrates Republic day on 26th January each year. On this day, the India Gate stands witness to a grand affair - the parade. School children, National Cadet Corps and members of the Army, the navy and the Air Force participate in it.
The programme begins with laying wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti. On such a vital day in the history of Independent India, it is perhaps apt that we should begin all celebrations remembering all those who gave up their lives for the country.
