15-August | Independence Day

It is the sacred duty of every Indian, young or old, to observe 15th August as a day of reverence. On this day we should sincerely promise to be dutiful towards our motherland. It is a great occasion for all of us and should rightly be used to encourage everyone in today’s world where we are at each other’s throat for trivial things.

This year, we celebrated the 63rd Independence Day. The atmosphere was like the auspicious saffron, the joyful green and the divine white. The flag hoisting ceremony was done by our director, Dr. Deepak Kaul, after which we all gathered in the auditorium to be a part of a cultural event organized by our co mates. The event was initialized by a performance on a patriotic song, which was followed by a skit carried out by the first year students.

The spirit of working towards a common goal to uplift the society was the essence of the skit and this first attempt by the fresh batch of students was appreciated by one and all. An exciting treasure hunt was organized by our mentors where brilliantly designed clues were provided at various junctures. One clue led to the other and there were about 8 rounds of this game. It tested the physical, mental and the team spirit of each group and the winners were the ones who could strike a good scoring on each aspect. There were prizes to the winners and the runners up team. The best library usage award was also announced and Mr. Saurabh Vyas bagged this award for the exemplary usage of the library. It was a motivation for others to follow his footsteps. The day ended beautifully with a volleyball match between the seniors and the juniors. The winners as always were the senior batch of students who defeated the faculty as well as their junior batch. We spent the whole day with zeal and zest.

The feeling of oneness, despite all our differences, is still a part of our life and was once again instilled in us.
