Celebrating the 76th Republic Day with Pride and Purpose

Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and Industry Leaders,

On this historic occasion of India’s 76th Republic Day, I extend my warmest greetings to each one of you. This day is more than just a national celebration—it is a powerful reminder of our shared responsibilities, aspirations, and unwavering commitment to the ideals that shape our great nation.

Honoring the Legacy of Our Constitution:

Republic Day marks the adoption of the Indian Constitution on January 26, 1950, a moment that transformed India into a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. It was the vision of great leaders like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru that laid the foundation for a nation rooted in justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity. Their sacrifices and dedication continue to guide us towards progress, inclusivity, and social justice.

As proud citizens, it is our duty to uphold these values, ensuring that we contribute to the nation’s growth, not just in words but in action. At Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT), Nagpur, we instill these ideals in our academic environment, ensuring that every student understands the importance of integrity, innovation, and social responsibility.
