She spoke on the significance of the Independence Day.  Unfurling the National Flag was led by the Cadets of NCC Army Wing, Air Wing, Navy Wing along with the students of NSS of the College.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Saraswathi Kumari Said that the aliens who came to India for business were viciously exploited us. They spread the scientific civilization in India and fascinated us. India became the home of the conflict and this conflict took place in every corner of the country. On August 15, 1947, India secured independence and became a democratic country. In today’s independent India, we can see various forms of evils like corruption, casteism and our economic system is systematically deteriorating.
