Uttarakhand to Kick Off PM Modi’s Birthday Celebrations a Day Early

The state government of Uttarakhand has issued a notice that the celebrations marking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday will begin on September 16, a day earlier than the rest of the country. The early start is intended to accommodate a series of local cultural programmes, flag‑hoisting ceremonies and public gatherings across various districts. Officials indicated that the adjusted timetable will allow schools, community groups and local bodies to take part without clashing with other regional events. This schedule precedes the nationwide observance set for September 17, when the Prime Minister’s birthday is officially commemorated across India. The tourism and cultural departments of Uttarakhand will coordinate the activities and have invited citizens to join the festivities.
