Independence Day Celebration at Amity University Punjab, Mohali

-


Mohali: On the morning of August 15th, the campus of Amity University Punjab, Mohali was full of pride and excitement as the faculty, staff, and students got together to celebrate India's 77th Independence Day. The feeling in the air was really energetic like there was electricity all around. Dr. RK Kohli, Vice Chancellor, unfurled the tricolor with utmost reverence. His inspiring address resonated with this year's theme - Nation First, Always First.

The day's celebrations were not just about remembering the past; they were about celebrating how we come together as a country with different backgrounds and beliefs. The day was marked with a splendid parade and a march past, a true showcase of our unity in diversity.

One of the most exciting things during the celebration was a performance by the NSS unit students. They acted out a really captivating skit that showed the journey of our country – how it has grown, how we believe in democracy, and how we stand together for equal values. Their acting made the stage feel alive, and we all got a glimpse of the progress we've made and the problems we've faced.

But it wasn't just the things we saw and heard that touched our hearts; it was also the words of a fellow student. This student recited a really heartfelt poem that made everyone feel a lot of love and pride for our country. It reminded of the people who came before us and what they gave up, and how we have to keep their principles alive.

When the day's events ended, there was a strong feeling of happiness and pride all around. Amity University Mohali didn't just celebrate Independence Day, it created a collection of moments that showed how much we care about our country's growth, progress, and togetherness.

Life is harsh for the LGBTQ community in India . However, some Indo-Canadians are coming out of the shadows, breaking the taboo and living a life they aspired for. All this encapsulated in a new feature documentary ‘Emergence: Out of the Shadows.’  The film has caught the fancy of the North American media. The film, set to hit the Indian screen space soon, is relevant, as all characters have an India connection.

Chandigarh to Leh With Milli Moonstone

Known as the roof of the world, Ladakh remains covered with snow for a major part of the year. The paradise on earth located in extreme north of Jammu & Kashmir, thus remains isolated and aloof. Come summers in the plains and Leh too sheds its blankets of snow and metamorphoses to the world’s largest cold desert on the rocky peaks of Himalayas . The versatility in geographical and cultural offerings of this place has been responsible for many different names that are given to Ladakh in the past. Some people call it La-Dags meaning "Land of High Mountain Passes", some call it " Cold Desert in the Skies" and some refer it as “ Land of Moon ” etc. Ladakh was not a properly known place a few years back, until some curious foreigners explored it and turned it into a potential tourist spot. The cold deserts of Ladakh became centres of tourist attraction mainly due to its Buddhist culture that breathes here and due to the options of thrilling adventu
