Indian Embassy has been organizing functions to celebrate the country’s Independence Day with the participation of the Indian community, Pravasis, and friends of India in Kuwait for many years. This year, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and to follow local government’s guidelines regarding social distancing and other related health regulations, there will be no public function at the Embassy premises on Independence Day. However, Embassy will be livestreaming the flag hoisting and delivery of the speech by the Indian Ambassador.
Esteemed Community Members, Pravasis, and friends of India are requested not to visit Embassy on Independence Day, 2020 i.e. 15th August, 2020 and watch the celebration at their home.
India celebrates its Independence Day every year on 15 August with great passion. The Indian Embassy has been organizing several cultural activities during the celebration in collaboration with Indian Schools and Indian Associations. This year, it would not be feasible to organize various cultural and social programs on the country’s 74th Independence Day.
In view of the above and in order to facilitate the participation of the large and vibrant Indian community in Kuwait in the Independence Day celebration, Embassy has planned various online activities to be conducted during Independence Day celebration.
Embassy of India requests resident Indians in Kuwait to record patriotic song and send it to Embassy. The selected video will be uploaded on the facebook (@indianembassykuwait) and twitter (@indembkwt) handle of the Mission. Recording can also be sent to Embassy at pic.kuwait@mea.gov.in with details of names, age and passport number.
