Both the documentaries will be streamed on Films Division website and YouTube channel throughout the day.
On Tuesday (19 January) the government has decided to celebrate the birthday of Netaji that falls on 23 January as Parakram Diwas every year.
Ahead of the 125th birth anniversary of freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the Indian Railways has decided to rename Howrah-Kalka Mail as 'Netaji Express'.
