Why is it harder to notice seasonal changes near the equator?
Because they get midsummer twice a year and midwinter twice a year. The sun is never very far from being overhead at noon even in winter.
On the first day of which season is the sun directly overhead the Northern Hemisphere?
On the first day of Northern Hemisphere Summer, the sun is directly overhead at some point on the Tropic of Cancer ... the line around the Earth that's about 23.5° north of the equator. At every other latitude between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer ... all in the northern hemisphere ... the sun is directly overhead twice, on two different days between March 21 and September 21, with June 21 exactly between them. How far the two days are on either side of June 21 depends on the latitude. Right ON the equator, they're March 21 and September 21.

Why are ahemdabad and kolkata able to see the noon sun exactly overhead twice a year but not in delhi?
This happens at any location between the Tropic of Cancer (in the north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (in the south). These lines, about 23.4 degrees to the north and south of the equator respectively, mark the farthest latitudes away from the equator where the sun can be exactly overhead [that point is sometimes called the zenith]. This region between the tropics is known as the tropical region. If you are within the tropics but not exactly on one, you will experience the sun passing directly overhead on its way to one tropic, and then you will experience this again as the sun moves toward the other tropic. It is interesting to note that the latitudes of the tropics coincide with the earth's tilt relative to the sun-earth plane called the Ecliptic.
