Greater Noida: In the fast-paced life of Greater Noida, where students juggle lectures, projects, and career dreams, the evening of 14th August at GNIOT Institute of Professional Studies became a pause button, a moment to look back, feel grateful, and celebrate India’s 79th Independence Day with pride.

The celebration wasn’t just a ceremonial event

It carried with it an energy that blended the youthful enthusiasm of students with the wisdom of faculty members. Prof. Dr. Savita Mohan’s address reminded everyone that freedom was not a gift wrapped in ease, but a legacy shaped by immense sacrifices. Her words, urging students to uphold values of unity, integrity, and responsibility, resonated like a roadmap for young citizens who will carry the baton of tomorrow’s India.

The cultural showcase was equally powerful

Students turned the stage into a canvas, painting stories of India’s diversity and strength through poetry, songs, and dance. From classical rhythms to contemporary moves, every performance underlined the eternal message: India may have countless colours, but its soul beats as one.

The program’s conclusion, marked by Dr. Himanshu Mittal’s vote of thanks, symbolised more than gratitude. It reflected an institution’s commitment to nurturing not just professionals but responsible citizens. The sweet distribution at the end wasn’t just about taste, it was about togetherness, a reminder that even the simplest traditions carry deep meaning.

And then came the national anthem, a collective voice rising in unison, echoing through the campus, binding everyone in the invisible thread of patriotism.

Events like these remind us that Independence Day isn’t confined to history books or political speeches. It lives on every time young minds pledge to build a better nation, every time communities celebrate unity in diversity, and every time the tricolour inspires hope. At GNIOT that evening, Independence wasn’t just remembered — it was relived.
