The occasion also marked the death anniversary of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, one of the prominent leaders of India’s freedom movement. Students were introduced to his remarkable contribution towards national awakening, education and the growth of public participation in the struggle for independence. His famous call for self-rule inspired generations to develop a strong sense of national pride and responsibility.
