With peace in my mind, freedom in my soul and pride in my heart: The NSS Unit of Sahradaya College of Advanced Studies celebrated 73rd Republic Day.
The Ceremony was started with prayer song. The welcoming address was given by Mr. Anoop M.R (NCC programmer officer). Dr. Fr. Davis Chenginiyadan (Executive Director Sahrdaya College of Advanced Studies) hoisted the Indian flag and gave a thoughtful message for the auspicious day. The Presidential address was given by Dr. Mathew Paul Ukkan (Principal). Dr. Fr. Anto Vattoly has given the felicitation. The Vote of Thanks was given by NSS programmer officer Mr. Akhil Anto.
On this pandemic time, the NSS volunteers decided to distribute Covid prevention kit to the society. The NSS volunteers sanitized two Panchayats (KODAKARA And ALOOR) and distributed surgical masks to the society.
The first destination was Aloor panchayat, the volunteers gave sanitizer and the mask to the peoples who were in the bus stop, auto rickshaw stand, people who were passing by. The masks were distributed to those who didn’t have mask and those who were covering with a piece of cloth. The next destination was Kodakara panchayat, there the volunteers distributed sanitizer and masks to the auto rickshaw drivers, to the pedestrians, to the shop keepers and to the customers.
The world has never been in so much need of help as now. It has been over two years now and humankind is still battling with the corona virus. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, and the world economy has been reeling under the impact. The world has suffered from unprecedented misery, and surge after surge of new variants have been posing new crises. It has been an extraordinary challenge to humankind. A time of crisis has also made us appreciate how we all Indians are connected as one family.
The time of social distancing has brought us close to each other. We have realized how much we depend on each other. Doctors, nurses and paramedics have risen to the challenge, working long hours in difficult conditions even at the risk of their lives to attend to patients.
Others have kept the nation moving, managing supply chains and utilities. The leadership, policy-makers, administrators and others at the central and state levels have made timely interventions. Along with the celebration, the NSS volunteers gave the message to the society to use sanitizer and the masks, maintain social distance
