Assam joined the nationwide commemoration of the 150th anniversary of 'Vande Mataram' with a special event at the Dibrugarh District Commissioner's Office. Minister Prasanta Phukan and District Commissioner Bikram Kairi led the singing, marking the occasion with over fifty local artists.

The event, held on November 7, 2022, was one of many similar programmes across Assam in schools, government offices, and cultural centres. It was part of a nationwide observance launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The Dibrugarh event concluded with a cultural presentation featuring patriotic songs and a felicitation ceremony for the participating artists.

Minister Phukan highlighted the enduring power of 'Vande Mataram' to unite Indians across regions, languages, and generations. The participants joined a live telecast from New Delhi, where Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the year-long celebration by releasing a commemorative stamp and coin dedicated to 'Vande Mataram'.

The 150th anniversary of 'Vande Mataram' was celebrated with enthusiasm in Dibrugarh, Assam. The event brought together local artists and officials, led by Minister Prasanta Phukan and District Commissioner Bikram Kairi, to honour the national song and its unifying spirit.
