Netaji's birth anniversary was also celebrated across West Bengal.
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and veteran CPI-M leader Jyoti Basu were among the dignitaries who offered flowers at the statue of Netaji at esplanade in Kolkata.
A rally was organised in Agartala today to pay tribute to Netaji.
Students of Netaji Subash Vidya Niketan School organised the rally to depict Netaji's ideology, his freedom struggle, and the prevailing evils in the society.
Hundreds of students, and members of different organisations and clubs participated in the rally that went through the streets of Agartala, amid thousands of spectators cheering the rally.
Ratna Chakraborty, a student, said: "We are proud to celebrate Netaji's birth anniversary. Right from morning the celebration started."
Born on January 23, 1897 in a Bengali family in Cuttack, Orissa, Bose was a catalyst in sowing the seeds of independent India and revolutionary ideals in the impressionist minds of youths.
In 1943, he organised the Indian National Army (INA or Azad Hind Fauj) and fought against the allied forces in Burma and eastern front of India.
Although Netaji's death remains shrouded in mystery in spite of several investigations, official documents declassified by the Government say that the revolutionary leader was a victim of an air crash on August 18, 1945. (ANI)
