Republic Day 2014 Celebrations in Noida - A Flag for a Smile

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” 

A group of techies in NOIDA took a noble initiative and decided to express gratitude to the nation this Republic Day, by distributing sweets and flags to those who are alienated from the mainstream; trying to give a message that economics does not deter the fact that we are all brothers and sisters, and we must at all instances remember this. A flag for a smile, is after all an excellent trade! 

 

The event was organised by Abhishek Singh (Indian National Youth Movement) and attended by Satish Chandra, Rohan Kalia, Abdul Wadood, Aman Aditya, Ankur Mehra, Ankit Srivastava, Pratap Singh, Rahul Bhatnagar,Shivam Raghuvansi, Satish Chandra, Saroj Pradhan, Sachin Juneja and others.

We started from Meghdootam Park, F Block, Sector 50, Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Then we proceeded to Sector 62 Noida, covering all the major IT Parks/Companies. We covered major IT Parks like Stellar IT Park, Logix IT Park etc and then returned back to the starting point. During our journey we distributed flags and chocolates to the kids and the underprivileged.
