DPS Bhagalpur and DPS Greater Ranchi Celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav

Bhagalpur/Greater Ranchi (India), August 18: On the occasion of 75th Independence day, along with the nationwide celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav and Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, DPS Bhagalpur and DPS Greater Ranchi arranged a Tiranga Yatra with a whooping 75 meter long Indian national flag on 13th August on the eve of August Kranti Movement (The Quit India Movement initialized By Mahatma Gandhi in 1942).

The spectacular Tiranga March was part of the day-long celebration organized by the Angika development society, the body that runs both DPS Bhagalpur and DPS Greater Ranchi. The historic march with the 75-meter national flag started from Bhagalpur’s Sandish compound and ended at Lajpat Nagar, where 75 students carried the flag collectively while being dressed as freedom fighters. Also, a cultural program was organized by the students to pay tributes to the heroes of India’s independence movement and to celebrate the 75th Independence day.

The event was attended virtually by the central cabinet minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey (Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Environment, Forest and Climate Change), who addressed the students on occasion and delivered a patriotic speech. Bihar’s Culture & Sports Minister Alok Ranjan was also present on occasion. Shreyasi Singh, renowned Indian shooter (gold medalist, Commonwealth Games 2018) turned politician, was the event’s chief guest. Abhigyan siddhant, the Legal Adviser of the Event, was the primary mover and guiding force.

Rajesh Srivastava, the pro-vice chairman of DPS Bhagalpur, DPS Greater Ranchi and chairman of VBCE, said, “We are very proud of being able to organize the event especially the Tiranga March. All our students, teachers and staff worked hard and made this formidable task possible despite having several challenges in terms of execution. India had never seen such a long flag before, and our effort was acknowledged by the World Book of Records, which is a great achievement. We will also hand over this 75-meter-long flag to the Hon’ble Prime Minister soon.”

Dr. Arunima Chakravorty, the principal of DPS Bhagalpur and DPS Greater Ranchi, remarked, “The occasion of 75th independence day is significant to all of us. We identified this as an excellent opportunity to let our students flaunt their potential in the extra-curricular domain.
