Prof. Minu Mahajan, Principal GCW Udhampur was the chief guest on the occasion. Worthy Principal in her address told that tradition of Kite flying is an integral part of Indian culture during various festivals but the kite flying on Independence Day besides signifying the spirit of freedom, there is a whole lot of historical significance.

A large number of students and staff of the college have participated in this activity. The appearance of Tri-colour kites in the sky gave an expression of freedom, joy and patriotism. One of the students said that “in patango k jariye hum sabi ko pyar, bhai-chaara aur nafrato se aazaadi” ka sandesh paunchana chahye hei. She said these kites are for everyone irrespective of caste or community.
