Addressing the gathering, the speakers highlighted Patel’s extraordinary contribution to nation-building, particularly his historic role in integrating numerous princely states into the Indian Union after Independence, thereby laying a strong foundation for India’s unity and territorial integrity.
They emphasised that his patriotism, visionary leadership, determination and commitment to national integration continue to inspire generations. They called upon citizens, particularly the youth, to uphold the values of unity, integrity and brotherhood, rising above caste, religion, regional and other differences.
The dignitaries, students, NSS volunteers and youth collectively administered the national unity pledge, reaffirming their commitment to safeguarding the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the nation. Following the pledge, a national unity rally was organised across the college campus, spreading awareness about national integration, communal harmony, brotherhood and the importance of unity in building a strong and prosperous India.
