REPUBLIC
DAY –A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED AND A DAY OF PATRIOTISM AT XISS
26th of January
marks the importance of Republic day all over India and this year we celebrate
68th Republic Day across India. We remember this day as the day on
which the Constitution of India came into existence replacing the Government of
India act 1935.
The Republic Day celebrations are
held at the National Capital region New Delhi presided over the President of
India and this year we had Abu Dhabi prince Mohammed
bin Sayed Al Nahyan.The LED arrangement at Burj Khalifa Dubai this year shows
the great pride of our nation among the other countries.
At
Xavier Institute of Social Service Ranchi the 68th republic day was
celebrated with great patriotism and nationalism by all the students from
various departments. This year, Finance Department organised the forum for
republic day celebrations with beautiful decorations in the courtyard. All the
professors and students gathered around 8AM and the event started with an
introductory speech on the Importance of Republic day. Later, Fr.Director
Alexuis Ekka unfurled the national Flag and presided over the meeting. His
speech was a deep insight into India and the importance of Republic Day.
On this
eventful day we also had delegates from South Korea in the function and XISS is
proud to celebrate such events from people abroad who could witness the Indian
culture and traditions.
Professor
Imago from South Korea spoke about the event appreciating the efforts of our
students in organising the event and mentioned how they were very much amazed
and inspired by our Indian culture.
XISS celebrations didn’t come to an end within
the college boundaries but as always we also celebrated socially.
Republic Day with Slum
Dwellers
Slums have always been the characteristics of fast
growing economies of the world and in
this era of rapid urbanisation, slums
become inevitable. In a country like India where a large population of Indians resides in slums, their needs and demands become important for a holistic
growth. Perhaps dreams and aspirations of these slum dwellers have been
neglected.
An initiative of XISS to indulge students of Rural
Management in Urban Field Work has given them this social laboratory to learn.
These students have been working hard to bring the change in the life of these slum dwellers. They have spent
their two trimesters working with these
people and identifying a major problem to
intervene.
Republic Day for these students is not only an
occasion to cherish being part of a sovereign, democratic and republic country
but also to celebrate their achievements. Chunna
Bhatta is a slum located in Kokar where Pravah Group celebrated this republic
day in there innovative way. Chief Guest for the occasion was Childline Foundation a Non-Government Organisation which works for the
child rights and their need. As Pravah Group was working for the Child Rights
and their Health, children were the main thrust of this event. Flag hoisting was done by Miss Suradha Kashyap from Childline Foundation.
Later on, essence and importance of child
rights were explained by Mr Avinash and
mothers were encouraged to educate their children and utilise their Right to Education (RTE). The event came to end with
few performances by slum kids and prizes were distributed to the best
performer.
Overall it was
a great republic day event today at XISS and we wish to celebrate many more of
such kind with great enthusiasm and patriotism.
