150 years of Vande Mataram completed
The celebration of 150 years of the composition of India’s national song Vande Mataram is being celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country. This song has not only been a source of inspiration for the freedom struggle, but it is also a symbol of dedication and patriotism towards Mother India. Vande Mataram was composed by the famous Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay on 7 November 1875. This song united the revolutionaries in the freedom movement.
It was declared the national song of India on 24 January 1950. This festival will continue till 7 November 2026. On 7 November 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a commemorative postage stamp and coin at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi. Along with this, he also launched a special website. PM Modi said that Vande Mataram is not only a song of independence, but it also reflects the dream of independent India.
