Republic day celebrations 2020



Republic Day is a day where acts of bravery are rewarded with medals both to the military and to civilians. The armed forces display motor cycle rides and gifts are given to children. The spirit of the day focuses on the independence of India and celebrations conclude with a ‘fly past’ by the Indian Air Force where planes leave trails of smoke in the colours of the Indian flag.
The event started out by our respected dean addressing the audience, and carrying out the flag hosting session and the lighting of the lamp.
