Porvorim, Goa | August, 2025
In a heartfelt and culturally rich celebration of Rakshabandhan, the Discipline of Marathi under the School of Languages and Literature (SGSLL) at Goa University, in collaboration with the 1 Goa Battalion of the NCC, hosted a special event titled:
🎗️ “रक्षाबंधन: भारतीय वीरांना काव्यात्म अभिवादन व नेतृत्वाचा सन्मान”
(Rakshabandhan: A Poetic Salute to Indian Warriors and Honour of Leadership)
Held on Independence Day, the event created a confluence of language, emotion, and patriotism, serving both as a celebration of sibling bonds and a tribute to those who protect the nation.
A Unique Tribute Through Words
This programme stood apart by blending Kavya (poetry) with Samman (honour). Eminent Marathi poets, students, and NCC cadets recited verses dedicated to the sacrifices and strength of India’s armed forces. It was a literary salute wrapped in emotion and pride.
Honouring Leadership & Bravery
Besides poetic performances, the event featured felicitations for leaders in the armed forces and within the university/NCC ecosystem who exemplify commitment, discipline, and service to the nation.
Bringing Together Campus & Corps
The collaboration between Goa University and the 1 Goa Battalion NCC is part of a broader vision to embed civic and cultural values in academic life. By involving students in such meaningful programmes, it fosters deeper understanding and respect for national service.
Moving Forward
Both institutions aim to make this celebration an annual tradition, where poetry becomes a medium to express gratitude, pride, and patriotism — and Rakshabandhan becomes more than a festival, but a day of national appreciation.
