Steel and iron manufacturing magnate, B5 Plus Company Limited and Delhi Private School (DPS) International have joined the Indian community in Ghana to celebrate the 71st Indian Republic Day.

In India Republic Day is a national holiday.

The Day marks the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on January 26, 1950.

The Constitution replaced the Government of India Act as the governing document of India and subsequently turned the Asian populous nation into a newly formed republic.

Annually, Indian communities around the world rallied to celebrate Republic Day.

The Celebration in Ghana has been an annual ritual over the last few years, with both DPS International and B5 Plus featuring prominently in every year's celebration.

The annual celebration in Ghana, like across other Indian communities worldwide, is often characterized by the hoisting of Indian flag, singing of the national anthem of India and dance and drama performances, that tell the story of India's Independence struggles and attainment of Republican status.

This year, there were drama performances from students of DPS International during the celebration held on Sunday, January 26, 2020, at the official residence of the new High Commissioner of India to Ghana, Comm. Sugundh Rajaram, in Accra.
