Sahyadri Educational Institutions Celebrates the 68th Independence Day
The 68th anniversary of our Independence Day was celebrated with joy and pride by the staff and students of the Sahyadri Educational Institutions. Col. Nitteguttu Sharath Bhandary, the Chief Guest hoisted the national flag after which the gathered students, faculty members and the staff sang the national anthem with pride in their hearts.
Col. Nitteguttu Sharath Bhandary in his 68th Independence Day speech, called upon the young generation to practice little acts of patriotism by caring for the environment, wild life, elderly people, etc. in everyday life. He said that these are some of the various ways in which a person’s patriotism to the country will shine through. He rekindled in the present generation patriotism of the country with a call to build a powerful nation. His witty and inspiring speech tickled the funny bone in the rapt audience listening to his speech which will long be remembered by everyone present on this 68th Independence Day celebrations. Col. Bhandary during his speech asked very pertinent question to the students on, which are the other countries celebrating Independence on the same day as India, which is the national aquatic animal of the country and why was India given Independence on the 15th of August 1947 and not in June of 1948 as was previously agreed by the leaders negotiating the date of freedom at that point of time. Two of the Mechanical Engineering students answered two of these questions and Rs. 500/- each was given to them by Col. Bhandary as prizes for correct answers.
Col. Bhandary was commissioned into the Indian Army in February of 1964. He retired in the March of 1993. During these thirty-one years, he has served in the North East Frontier Agency, Central Air Command, Allahabad, Signal Training Centre in Goa & Secunderabad, DGWE, Army HQ, New Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir.
