Ranchi: IIM Ranchi celebrated Parakram Divas the occasion of Birth Anniversary of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose. He was Indian revolutionary prominent in the independence movement against British rule of India. He also led an Indian national force from abroad against the Western powers during World War II. Prof. Shailendra Singh, Director, IIM Ranchi addressed the faculty, students and staff who were present physically and connected through virtual mode.
Prof.Singh said, ”He grew up seeing the photos of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and many other eminent leaders and this has left strong imprints on his mind of the struggle done by national heroes to make the country free.” He further added that 125th Birth Anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose reminds us about the sacrifices made by him and to remember his contributions we should follow his footsteps and rise above the comfort zones and work passionately towards the country and countrymen.
Prof. Angshuman Hazarika also delivered a speech and said,” Netaji played a significant role in North East India during 1938.He came to Assam and stayed in Shillong in 1938. Assam was undergoing a tough situation where Muslim League would have formed a government under the leadership of Sadullah but Netaji got successful in maiking his government. Netaji was regarded as having a more sensitive, sympathetic and nuanced understanding of the problems of Assam than other national leaders like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Nehru. It should be noted that even then, over 70 years back, Assam faced the pressures of migration from East Bengal, an issue that continues to haunt it and its neighbouring states, including West Bengal, today”.
Sreeja Shambhavi, student of MBA-HR 2020-22 in her speech said, “In the history of India’s struggle for freedom, one man stands out in all distinctiveness and a class by himself. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is a great son and real icon of India, particularly to the younger generation, and his life is nothing but a story of service and sacrifice.”
Prasun Adak, student of MBA- 2020-22 in his speech said, “Netaji believed in a life of freedom and struggle. At a time when the chips were down he kept the morale alive with powerful words like “Give me blood and I will give you freedom” and “Dilli Chalo”. Keeping morale high when the shoulders drop is the trademark of a true leader, a Netaji as he is known “
The Program ended with National Anthem.
