The Patna Half Marathon has been jointly conceptualized by NCC Dte Bihar & Jharkhand and the Department of Art, Youth & Culture (Bihar Government) to commemorate 75 years of India’s Independence (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav) and 50 years of glorious victory in the Indo-Pak war, 1971 (Swarnim Vijay Varsh). By involving the masses in these celebrations, we will foster national pride in India’s achievements and freedom struggle. The event also aims to promote Patna, the beautiful and historical city to the rest of the world, and to support Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, and Nasha Mukt Samaj Abhiyan.
