Moirang Divas is celebrated on April 14 as the Azad Hind Fauj, led by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, captured Moirang in Manipur in a fierce battle. It was the first victory ever of the nation against the British forces. In January, Mitron announced its partnership with INA Trust – founded to perpetuate Subhash Chandra Bose’s memory by sharing his ideology and philosophy with India’s youth. Due to the ongoing pandemic where people are not allowed to step out, Mitron is the perfect place to watch the Moirang Divas’ happenings from the comfort of one’s home.

It’s an honour to partner with INA trust and FICCI to showcases Moirang Divas’s to our users at the comfort of their homes. Our live streaming feature now allows us to showcase such historic achievements through our app and do our bit in serving the nation in the future”.

Chhikara Chairman of Netaji Subhash Bose-INA Trust said: “We are delighted to yet again bring and celebrate one of the momentous days from our history and share it with the youth of the nation. Led by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the Indian National Army (INA) defeated the British, to establish the provisional independent government in Moirang, Manipur. As part of Netaji’s125th birth anniversary celebrations this summit allows us to manifest his legacy to one and all and keep his memory alive.
