National Unity Day was celebrated at ICFAI University, on the eve of 142nd Birth Anniversary of Saradar Vallabh Bhai Patel, the Iron Man of India.
A quiz was conducted on his life and achievements and prizes were awarded to the winning students. The programme also included celebration of Vigilance Week as per the advice of Central Vigilance Commission and administering “pledge” on prevention of corruption by senior officials of bank of India to all the participants. Prof ORS Rao, Vice-Chancellor of ICFAI University said, “Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel had the conviction that Character is very essential for real success and one who has no character cannot succeed either in politics or in business.
At the same time, it is important to build awareness and be vigilant to prevent corruption, which has been spreading like wild fire after independence. Prevention and eradication of corruption can be the lasting tributes to Sardar Patel and his vision of Strong India”.
