On this note, the parade of republic day started with the various defence troops of our country. All the regiments of Indian army, navy and air force came marching to rajpath saluting, to which they were saluted back by honourable president. For the first time ever, all the women cadets and regiments were also included in the march pass.
Tablos from the Indian army navy and air force were presented along with the newly developed war vehicles, like the tank "BHISHMA", missiles, and air vehicles like MIG.
As the march pass ended various tablos from different states depicting their strengths came to the forefront followed by the tablos from various governmental departments. Motives like "MAKE IN INDIA", "SAVE THE GIRL CHILD", and "PRADHAN MANTRI JAN DHAN YOJNA" were the main highlights.
Soon, rajpath was converted into a stage where girls and boys from many schools and colleges performed on different topics like "A CLEANER INDIA". Folk dance was also seen.
Now came the most breathtaking part of the parade which comprised of many formations on motorbikes by the "BORDER SECURITY FORCES(BSF)", the most difficult among them being a formation where 39 men were on 9 bikes.
Last but not the least, the R-parade ended with a magnificent showdown of MIGs, helicopters and ariel vehicles.
