SiliconTech celebrates the 75th Republic Day

India celebrated its 75th Republic Day on 26 January 2024.  To commemorate the historic occasion, SiliconTech held the Republic Day celebration on campus. The Silicon Green Club (SGC) organized a plantation drive to create awareness about the rising concerns of deforestation.

Republic Day is celebrated in India to mark the adoption of the Indian Constitution which came into effect on 26 January 1950. Educational institutions across the country observe this day to promote awareness of citizens’ rights and duties, fostering national pride and unity.

The Republic Day celebrations began early in the morning with Dr. Jaideep Talukdar, our Principal, unfurling the national flag and addressing the assembled audience with a short speech, remembering the founding fathers of our nation and the brave souls who gave their lives for the freedom we are enjoying today. The national anthem was sung and our students also performed various cultural acts to add vibrance to the celebrations.

Later in the day, a plantation drive was organized by the members of Silicon Green Club. Students, staff, and faculty members of SiliconTech actively participated in this drive to plant saplings within the campus premises adding to the beauty and greenery.
