Nation Remembers Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on Ekta Divas 2025, Celebrating the Spirit of Unity and Integrity

India marked Ekta Divas 2025 on October 31 with nationwide celebrations honouring Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India. The day carried renewed significance, highlighting Patel’s monumental role in uniting the country’s princely states after independence.

Through determination, diplomacy, and moral authority, Patel ensured the political and territorial integration of a diverse India, preventing fragmentation during its formative years. As the nation’s first Home Minister, his vision laid the groundwork for India’s internal security and administrative cohesion.

Commemorative events were held across India, particularly at the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat, celebrating his lifelong commitment to national unity.

Ekta Divas 2025 served as more than a tribute—it reminded citizens that unity is a continuous responsibility. In reflecting on Patel’s legacy, the nation reaffirmed its collective resolve to uphold harmony, integrity, and shared purpose across all communities.
