Prof. K. Ramji, Vice-Chancellor, Krishna University, attended the 79th Independence Day Celebrations as the Chief Guest of the programme held at the Krishna University campus, Rudravaram.
The programme commenced with the garlanding of the portraits of freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi and the designer of the National Flag, Sri Pingali Venkayya, followed by the singing of the national song Vande Mataram.

He expressed confidence that Krishna University would continue to contribute to building a stronger, more prosperous, and more knowledgeable India, enriched by its heritage and culture through Indian Knowledge Systems.
He strongly condemned the “cowardly and utterly inhuman” terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, and lauded the swift and decisive response of the armed forces in Operation Sindoor.
A pledge was taken on this Independence Day:
“India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters. I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to be worthy of it. I shall give respect to my parents, teachers, and all elders, and treat everyone with courtesy.”
