The Iconic Events Week, held from 17th to 23rd January 2023, was a momentous occasion commemorating both the 75th anniversary of Indias Independence and the 126th Birth Anniversary of the revered freedom fighter, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

During this week-long celebration, numerous events were organized at significant locations associated with Netajis life and work in various states and territories across India. These locations included Manipur, Nagaland, Gujarat, Odisha, West Bengal, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, where Netajis legacy holds particular significance.

The closing ceremony of the Iconic Events Week took place in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Home Affairs. This ceremony was especially dedicated to commemorating the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, honoring his immense contributions to Indias freedom struggle.

During the celebration, a special program was held, in which the Prime Minister of India actively participated. One of the highlights of the event was the naming of 21 of the largest unnamed islands in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands after 21 valiant recipients of the Param Vir Chakra, the highest military decoration in India.
