National day celebrations-Telugu Speaking Union

Mauritius won its independence in 1968 and Sir Seewoosagar Ramgoolam became the first Prime Minister. He is known as the Father of the nation and his native village has been given the name of his childhood i.e Kewal. We have now Kewal Nagar in the district of Flacq.

This year the government has planned to celebrate the National Day with lots of pomp and glow. Manifestations, festivals and activities are being organised for more than a week..
