Republic Day 2025 Celebrations in Bihar, India

The Republic Day 2025 celebrations in Bihar, India, were held under the auspices of the International Human Rights Commission -IHRC. The event, organised in Lauriya Bettiah, was marked by great enthusiasm and a strong sense of purpose, serving not only as a celebration of Indian democracy but also as a testament to the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian values.

As the author of this account, I, Bishop Dr. h.e Samsher Khan, IHRC Peace Ambassador, MNVC India, and IHRC Press Journalist, wish to highlight the significance of this day. Together with Surbhi PriyaZonal IHRC Zonal Volunteer Coordinator, and Mukesh Kumar IHRC Official Volunteer, we led activities that were critical to the success and impact of this occasion.

This day was exceptional not only due to the celebrations but also because of our collective efforts to support the community of Bihar. As in previous years, under my leadership, 111 individuals were provided with double bed blankets, and meals were distributed. This initiative has become a symbol of support and compassion. Prayers were offered for peace, happiness, and prosperity, with wishes for love and unity both within the community and across the nation.

A particularly significant moment was the hoisting of the IHRC flag, which proudly flew alongside the Indian flag. This act symbolised our unwavering commitment to supporting human rights, as well as unity and international cooperation. Participants gathered around to celebrate this solemn moment, which was beautifully captured in photographs that underscore the importance of this ceremony.

I would also like to express my deep gratitude for the support of the International Human Rights Commission, especially Hon. Prof. h.c. Rafal Marcin Wasik IHRC Secretary-General, Chairperson IHRC Group, Peacemaker. Their support has enabled me to carry out initiatives that champion human rights and provide assistance to those in need.

The event also saw the presence of numerous community members who, equipped with IHRC identification, proudly took part in the celebrations. Participants were made aware of the various ways they could contribute to supporting the local community, aligning with IHRC’s mission. Everyone involved expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work under the organisation’s banner, recognising this day as one filled with inspiration and appreciation.

The efforts made on this day were recognised as a perfect example of action in line with IHRC values. We are grateful for the unwavering dedication of our organisation to improving the lives of others, which highlights the crucial role individual contributions play in the success of IHRC’s mission.

IHRC extends heartfelt thanks to all participants, volunteers, and supporters who contributed to making this event possible. Their collective efforts brought hope and relief to many, demonstrating the power of unity and compassion.

The Republic Day celebrations in Bihar were more than just an event. They were a testament to the strength of a community driven by humanitarian work. Through acts of kindness, education, and prayer, IHRC showcased its unwavering dedication to serving humanity and promoting human rights. Events like these not only provide immediate relief to those in need but also inspire a broader commitment to building a fair and compassionate society.

The International Human Rights Commission remains steadfast in its mission to protect human rights and dignity, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of peace and prosperity.
