PM Modi's Independence Day speech: When and where to watch Red Fort address live on 15 August
India marks its 80th Independence Day on 15 August. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation from the Red Fort.
India will commemorate its 80th Independence Day on August 15, 2023, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivering his address from the iconic Red Fort. Every year, the prime minister hoists the national flag at the historic site and delivers a speech outlining the government's programs and policies. The tradition began with Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947 and continues to this day.
Modi's Independence Day speech will be broadcast live beginning at 7:30 AM on August 15. Viewers can catch the address online on the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) official YouTube channel, DD News, PMIndia.gov.in, and the National Informatics Centre's Independence Day website. The MyGov portal invited citizens to submit ideas and suggestions for the speech until August 12, 11:45 PM. This year marks the 79th year of India's independence, as the first Independence Day was celebrated on August 15, 1947.
