Sainik School Korukonda cadets ignite patriotic zeal in villages with Har Ghar Tiranga rally
Visakhapatnam: In a vibrant display of patriotism and community outreach, the National Cadet Corps (NCC) of Sainik School Korukonda in Vizianagaram district spearheaded a dynamic campaign on Thursday as part of the nationwide Har Ghar Tiranga initiative. The event saw spirited participation from 40 NCC cadets, accompanied by dedicated army staff and associate NCC officers (ANOs). Marking a preamble to the upcoming 79th Independence Day celebrations , the cadets transformed into ambassadors of national pride. Carrying the Indian national flag (Tiranga) with utmost reverence, they embarked on a spirited rally through the streets of the neighbouring villages of Kumaram and Korukonda. The air resonated with the cadets' enthusiastic patriotic slogans, designed to awaken awareness and reverence for the national emblem. Moving beyond mere procession, the cadets actively engaged with villagers, fostering a direct connection between the symbol of the nation and its people. They eloquently explained the profound symbolism imbued within the Tiranga – the courage and sacrifice represented by saffron, the peace and truth embodied by white, and the fertility, growth, and auspiciousness signified by green. The significance of the Ashoka Chakra as a representation of righteousness, progress, and perpetual motion was also shared. "This outreach was truly heartwarming, witnessing the genuine connection forged between our cadets, the Tiranga, and the villagers was inspiring." stated Group Captain SS Shastri, schools' principal. "The cadets effectively translated the spirit of Har Ghar Tiranga into meaningful dialogue and shared fervour." The cadets explained, actively inspiring every household they met to participate in the national movement by hoisting the Indian Flag at their homes on Independence Day. They emphasized the importance of displaying the flag with the utmost respect and reverence, instilling a sense of collective responsibility towards this national duty. The Sainik School Korukonda NCC's initiative successfully fostered palpable pride and unity within the visited communities. It served as a powerful reminder of the Tiranga's unifying power and successfully amplified the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign's core message at the grassroots level, setting a resonant tone for the Independence Day celebrations ahead.
