Principal Dr. Rashpal Singh Sandhu appreciated the sincere efforts of the volunteers, who walked 8 km barefoot on 26th January at Kartavya Path as a tribute to Hind Di Chadar, Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, and three Sikh martyrs—Bhai Sati Das, Bhai Mati Das Ji, and Bhai Dyala Ji. He added that the event was live telecast in over 100 countries and described it as the biggest platform for students to represent their state at the national level.
