One of the students from Sambalpur, Odisha, Priyansha Pradhan, shared her excitement about celebrating Raksha Bandhan with the President of India. The words of the President that the spirit of the festival of Raksha Bandhan is not to be celebrated only between brothers and sisters but also to be shared with soldiers, parents and friends, had inspired her to a great extent, she said. A teacher from Arunachal Pradesh said how the simplicity and warmth of the President has touched her heart.

Today more then 180 students from government schools of 16 states met the President. The students were further enriched by a guided tour of the Amrit Udyaan located inside Rashtrapati Bhawan, a garden that stands as a testament to India's rich architectural and horticultural legacy. This extraordinary opportunity to interact with the President was an unforgettable experience for the students, instilling in them a profound sense of pride and respect for the country’s cultural traditions.
