The day honours the courage of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defence of the nation and celebrates the determination and strength of the Indian armed forces.
Kargil Vijay Diwas serves as a tribute to their sacrifices and reaffirms the nationโs commitment to protecting its sovereignty and integrity.
The 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas will be celebrated with great enthusiasm this year on July 26 across the country.
