Jammu, Jan 22: In connection with the celebrations of the 2nd Phase of Vande Mataram, the NCC (SW) unit of GGM Science College organised a short film/documentary screening depicting the evolution, historical significance, and enduring spirit of Vande Mataram.
The programme was held in the College Conference Hall under the able guidance of Prof. (Dr.) Romesh Kumar Gupta, Principal, GGM Science College, and was supervised by Dr. Shafia Saleem, ANO (NCC SW).
The documentary thoughtfully traced the journey of Vande Mataram from its literary origins to its role as a powerful symbol of India’s freedom struggle and national unity.
