KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS 2022 – 26 JULY 2022 – NATIONAL CADET CORPS (NCC)

On 26th July 2022, as per the instructions laid down by the Government of India and Directorate General, NCC, Kargil Vijay Diwas celebration was observed among the cadets of SFS College, Hebbagodi, coordinated by our ANO Lt. Sampath Kumar R.

Over 50 students from NCC Cadets, students from Rovers & Rangers and Karnataka Civil Defence attended the programme which included a tribute to the martyrs of the war.

Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed on 26th July every year to celebrate India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War and pay homage to the brave martyrs behind the success of 'Operation Vijay'. The Indian Army ousted Pakistani Forces from their occupied positions on the mountain tops of Northern Kargil, in Ladakh in 1999. 527 soldiers from the Indian Armed Forces were martyred during the war. This day is celebrated all over India and in national capital, New Delhi, where the Prime Minister of India pays homage to the soldiers at Amar Jawan Jyothi at the India Gate every year.

Our cadets also visited the Amar Jawan Jyothi at Anekal Taluk and offered their tribute to the Kargil Heroes which was followed by 2 minutes of silence for the soldiers who lost their lives in the war.
