What is Army Day?
Army Day, also known as Army Day. The day is celebrated from the last British Commander-in-Chief of India, General Francis Butcher, in 1949 when Lieutenant General KM Cariappa was chosen as the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army. The transfer of power from the British to India indicates an important moment in Indian history. Army Day also honors soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the country and played an important role in freedom.
Why does India celebrate Army Day on 15 January every year?

But after independence - on 15 January 1949 - the Army got its first Indian Chief, hence Army Army Day is celebrated on 15 January every year. On this day KM Kariyappa was chosen as the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army and from the same day on 15 January every year, Army Day is celebrated.

The army's command headquarters in the country celebrates this day by organizing military parades, performing various routines such as aerial stunts and bike pyramids.
