Independence Day Celebrations (14th August 2008)

The occasion started with the customary welcome of our honorable Director Sir, Dr. Mohan Agarwal, and senior faculty members.

Sir then greeted the students with an inspiring speech, motivating and encouraging the spirit of patriotism among all students highlighting the true sense of independence.

This was followed by a patriotic song, “ae mere pyare watan …” by Rajeev Sharma (1st year student) which was truly applauded by all

Thereafter came a captivating presentation on the great Mangal Pandey, by our youngest faculty member, M/s Vinky Sharma Ma’am, highlighting the struggle and sacrifices made by him during the revolt of 1857.

Next was the turn of our youngest student Meenakshi Upadhyay to share some of her feelings on the occasion.

Following the speech was a performance based upon the meaning of Independence Day on the youth of today by the first year students which included a skit and a group dance on the song ‘Vande Mataram’ emphasizing on the comparison between the feelings of the youth of today and the youth of pre independence era (Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, etc.) towards Independence Day.

Towards the end was the vote of thanks to Director Sir and faculty members for not only coming to the programme but also for their constant guidance and our seniors for their enthusiasm and support.

The programme concluded with the traditional National Anthem.
