President Droupadi Murmu to address the nation today
President Droupadi Murmu will deliver her address to the nation on Wednesday, August 14, 2025, on the eve of India’s 79th Independence Day. This marks her fourth speech since assuming office in 2022. The President’s address is a traditional and symbolic prelude to the national celebrations.
Since 2021, August 14 has also been observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, which is expected to be mentioned in the speech. While largely ceremonial, the President’s address also reflects on current national issues or recent developments.
This year, the President of India’s address will be broadcast from 7 pm IST. The public broadcasters Akashvani and Doordarshan will telecast the speech in Hindi, followed by the English version.
