Amity University Uttar Pradesh organized a “Prabhat Pheri” to commemorate “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, marking 75 years of India’s independence. The “Prabhat Pheri” was carried out within the Amity University premises where the marching contingents for the “Prabhat Pheri” were organized block wise and were led by their respective Chief Coordinators and Head of Institutions and Head of Departments, followed by the faculty members and students of Amity.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Dr. (Prof.) Balvinder Shukla, Vice Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, said, “Today, we, at Amity, feel proud to commemorate 75 years of India’s independence, under “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”. India must become “Aatm Nirbhar” in every field and for that Amity is preparing its students by providing them the best of education along with imbibing great values and culture in them. The sacrifice of a lot of martyrs, leaders and unsung heroes, must always be remembered by each and every citizen of India. Education is one of the most important ways of eradicating poverty and bring peace and harmony in the society. At the same time, every citizen must think about how, we, as individuals, as a team, as a nation and as an organization, can contribute to the development of our country, in all spheres. The celebration of 75 years of independence should not end on Independence Day but every day should be celebrated as Independence Day with the same spirit.”

The slogans- “Vande Mataram” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai” rendered loudly with great enthusiasm, by the “Prabhat Pheri” processions, resonated in the air and evoked the spirit of nationalism in all the students, staff and faculty of Amity. The event concluded with singing of melodious patriotic songs by the students of Amity who mesmerized the audience with their scintillating performance.
