The Prime Minister said, "It's an effort on part of the Ministry of Culture to have a maximum number of Indians sing the National Anthem together.

Since then, programs related to Amrit Mahotsav are going on across the country from Jammu and Kashmir to Puducherry, Gujarat to the Northeast, said Reddy.
Several events are being organized and one such unique initiative, connected with the National Anthem, has been taken up by the Ministry of Culture for celebrating Independence Day this year to instill pride and unity among Indians all around the world.
