Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar), in collaboration with Think India, organised a Tiranga Yatra on campus to observe Balidan Diwas and pay solemn tribute to the supreme sacrifice of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from students across departments, who came together in large numbers to carry a 300-metre-long tri-colour through the campus premises. The procession moved with a spirit of unity, pride, and deep reverence, reflecting the strong sense of patriotism and national consciousness among the student community of IIT Ropar.
The Tiranga Yatra served as a reminder of the ideals and sacrifices that shaped modern India. Students marched with the tricolour held high, paying homage to the courage and conviction of the three revolutionaries who laid down their lives for the nation’s freedom at a young age. The atmosphere on campus was one of quiet reflection combined with collective pride, as participants observed a moment of respect before commencing the march.
IIT Ropar has consistently encouraged its students to engage with national values and social responsibilities alongside their academic pursuits. The observance of Balidan Diwas through the Tiranga Yatra is a testament to the institute’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only technically proficient but also deeply aware of their national heritage and civic duties.
