Pune will host the Army Day Parade for the first time on 15 January 2025. The parade honors Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa, India's first Army Commander-in-Chief in 1949. Traditionally held in Delhi, the event began rotating cities in 2023, with Bengaluru and Lucknow hosting in 2023 and 2024. Pune's selection highlights its military heritage and role as Southern Command HQ. Events include marching contingents, mechanized columns, defense tech exhibits, combat demos, and martial arts. A “Know Your Army” exhibition in January will showcase advanced weaponry and soldier interactions. This initiative fosters unity and connects citizens with the Armed Forces.
