Normal birth anniversaries of great personalities falling every year are not generally observed at national level. However, commemorations of birth centenary/125th/150th etc. anniversaries of great personalities of national importance are observed and various activities are organized for a period of one year. Three such commemorations viz. 150th birth anniversary of Lala Lajpat Rai, 200th Birth anniversary of Tatya Tope and 475th birth anniversary of Maharana Pratap are proposed to be observed in the coming months.
After a decision is taken by the Government to commemorate such an event, a National Committee (NC) generally headed by the Prime Minister and/ or a National Implementation Committee (NIC) headed by a Senior Cabinet Minister are constituted for deciding on the activities and budget for the commemoration.
This information was given by Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) and Minister of State for Civil Aviation Dr. Mahesh Sharma in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
