Independence is round the corner and the central government has launched a website- rashtragaan.in where students can upload their “individual rendering” of the National Anthem. All the videos shared by students will be compiled into a single video and will be played live on Independence Day, August 15.
In view of the initiative by the Center, University Grants Commission (UGC) has released a notice seeking active cooperation from various universities and colleges and they are required to inform the students about this programme.
This initiative is under the “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” that is to be celebrated on Independence day. Due to ongoing restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the Independence day celebrations will be conducted online and such initiatives are to ensure maximum participation of the students on this big day. Additionally, students will be awarded a certificate for their contribution to the online celebration of Independence day.

This may also be brought to the notice of colleges or institutions affiliated to your university.”
