-

 


        On August 15, 2019, India celebrated her 73rd Independence Day. It took hundreds of years for us to break free from the shackles of slavery. People of this great country celebrate this day, every year with great pomp and show. Our College, Government College of Teacher Education, Thycaud, also celebrated this national day with great enthusiasm and patriotic fervor.

        The I B.Ed. students were assigned various roles for the day by our Physical Education instructor, Dr. S.J. Shabu, well in advance. All the students were grouped according to the 4 houses of the college, named after the rivers of Kerala – Chandragiri, Nila, Pampa and Periyar.

    All the students assembled in the ground for march-past at 8.15am. Under the commanding officer’s command, each house marched forward, led by their respective leaders. The Principal, Dr. B.Suresh, hoisted the National flag as everyone saluted the tri-colour symbol with national pride and respect. Faculty and student representatives gave small messages for the occasion. The assembly dispersed with the National Anthem and moved towards the UGC Hall, where the cultural activities were held.     


Here are some snaps of the day:
