A day to commemorate the 23rd year of India’s Kargil Victory was organised by the Courageous Cadet Club of MGD Girls’ School under the guidance of Chief Cadet Officer Mrs Anjali Sharma, on 25th July. The Chief Guest for the same was Col. Jitendra Kumar, *Shaurya* Chakra Director, NCC Rajasthan. The event consisted of patriotic performances by the cadets including group singing of a medley of nationalistic songs like ‘Yeh Desh hai Veer Jawano ka’ and ‘Ayy Vatan’, a recitation of Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s beloved peom, ‘Azadi ke Geet’, and a heart touching reenactment of a matyr’s military funeral.
