Since the sovereign Naga people (our people) democratically constituted the Naga National Council (NNC) on February 2, 1946 at Wokha Village to safeguard the sovereign birth right of our people as a Nation, the Naga National Council (NNC), with the vow and assurance of Mahatma Gandhi on 19th July, 1947 at Bhangi Colony in New Delhi, formally declared the age-old Naga Independence on 14th August, 1947 one day ahead before India was set free by the British on 156 August, 1947 and on the same day NNC informed India by Telegram, and cabled to HMG and UNO for information and record.
Thus we have celebrated this auspicious day of our Nation every year without any hindrance by the grace of God since 1947 in existence of our Nation despite all odds and we are now going to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of our Independence declaration (146 August, 1947 —14th August, 2022).
Therefore, the Ministry of Rali Wali (Information and Publicity) of the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) on behalf of the NNC/FGN sincerely calls upon all fellow Nagas to commemorate this great day of our Nation together by extending co-operation each other and make this Jubilee a grand success as it may be a historic wrestling between the Naga Nation and India, the invader.
