Kargil Vijay Diwas
On 26TH JULY 2019
At Quadrangle Sage

On 26 July, 2019, India celebrates the 20th anniversary of the victory of the Indian Armed Forces over Pakistan in the conflict that took place in the mountains above Kargil on the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir named Kargil Vijay Diwas. On this date in 1999, India successfully took command of the high outposts which had been lost to Pakistan. The Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days, ended on 26 July and resulted in loss of life on both the sides. The war ended with India regaining control of all the previously held territory, hence re-establishing the status quo ante bellum. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated on 26 July every year in honour of the Kargil War's Heroes. This day is celebrated in the Kargil–Dras sector and the national capital New Delhi, where the Prime Minister of India pays homage to the soldiers at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate every year. Functions are also organized all over the country to commemorate the contributions of the armed forces.

Marathe college participated in the event .Our NCC cadets organized drill, poster, elocution competition and many more activities to show respect and gratitude to the brave servicemen of the armed forces who laid down their lives to re-capture all positions that had been seized by Pakistan Army.
