From Neelam Sanjiva Reddy to Droupadi Murmu, READ why President of India takes OATH on JULY 25

Droupadi Murmu sworn in as the President of India as the first tribal person who made history today. Droupadi Murmu took oath at the central hall of parliament at 10 am. Earlier, Ram Nath Kovind, Pranab Mukherjee, Pratibha Patil, APJ Abdul Kalam - all of them took oath as President on 25th July. Why is the president's swearing-in on this day?

It should be noted that since 1977, the swearing-in of the President has started on July 25. India's sixth President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy was sworn in that day. Since then all presidents have been sworn in on July 25. Because all presidents since 1977 have served their full term. Accordingly, the term of all presidents ended on July 24. In this atmosphere, the next president took oath on July 25 for the last four and a half decades.
