Around 10,000 special guests have been invited to witness the parade as part of the government’s initiative to increase ‘Jan Bhagidari’ in events of national importance. These special guests from various walks of life are the ‘Swarnim Bharat’ builders. They are the best in their fields and have made the best use of the government schemes.
