Presidium, Indirapuram organised an expedition to Amritsar, Punjab. The students explored the religious landmarks and attained a profound understanding of the culture of Punjab. The students visited the Golden Temple”). The visit provided an insight into the Sikh religion. Presidians wearing "patka" and paying homage to the god was truly a pleasing sight.
The students also witnessed the breathtaking flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah border. The stupefying parade filled our future leaders with the feeling of patriotism and pride with shouts of ‘Jai Hind!’ being echoed from one and all.
The patriotic feeling embarked on a new level after they visited the Jallianwala Bagh. The tragedy dashed a sense of responsibility for the sacrifices of the martyrs. The young citizens placed their hand over their heart and feelings of allegiance and the little seeds of nationalism were sowed.
The trip instilled feelings of humanity and brotherhood among the children. This journey not only gave them the opportunity to visit religious places but also provided them with the fortuity to understand the significance of different cultures in our country.
