Delhi University organises Kavi Sammelan to celebrate 75th Independence Day

The event was organised as part of a series of programmes on the Centenary year celebrations of the university and the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'.

Delhi University organised a Kavi Sammelan to celebrate the 76th Independence Day. The Kavi Sammelan was titled Jara Yaad Kro Kurbani (remember the sacrifice) and was organised in the convention hall of the Vice Regal Lodge of the university. The event was organised as part of a series of programmes on the Centenary year celebrations of the university and the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'.

The Kavi Sammelan was organised on August 16, 2022. Jagdish Mittal, the national president of the Rashtriya Kavi Sangam, was the chief guest and the event was presided over by vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh. Earlier, the University Grants Commission (UGC) had directed all the Universities across the country to work towards spreading awareness amongst students, staff and other stakeholders about the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, and to make it a success.

The central government has launched the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign as per which people are being encouraged to hoist the tricolour at their houses to mark 75 years of India's independence.

"As you are aware, as part of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' AKAM, 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has been launched to encourage citizens to hoist the National Flag of lndia in their homes. The idea behind the campaign is to instill the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of people and reminisce the journey of lndia and those who have contributed towards creating this great nation," UGC secretary Rajnish Jain said in a letter to university vice-chancellors and college principals.

The Ministry of Culture has developed a website -- www.harghartiranga.com -- where citizens are encouraged to pin a flag and upload a selfie with the tricolor.
