*Naveen Jindal calls for India to mark 23 January as National Flag Day*
\nRaipur -October 15
\n“We should mark 23 January as National Flag Day as it is the day we earned the right to display our national flag freely with respect and dignity,” said the President of Flag Foundation of India (FFoI) and Chairman of Jindal Steel & Power (JSP) Shri Naveen Jindal during his address to students at Ravenshaw University on the occasion of hoisting a 108 ft. monumental national flag on its campus.
\n“Most countries in the world have a National Flag Day to celebrate the national flag and its values. It is time for India to have a National Flag Day too and 23 January is an apt day for this,” he added. Shri Jindal fought a decade-long legal struggle to grant every Indian the right to fly and display our National Flag with pride, dignity and honour. On 23rd January 2004, the Supreme Court of India ruled that all Indians have the fundamental right to display the Indian flag freely with respect and dignity.
\n“Installation of 108 ft. National Flag at this prestigious educational institution, with its rich history will instil a sense of nationalism among the teachers and students,” Shri Jindal said.
\nTaking a look at the University campus, Shri Jindal admired the British-era heritage academic buildings with gothic architecture and commended the government of Odisha and the University management for their commitment to preserve the monumental structures and creating an illustrious educational legacy of this renowned institute. He called for appropriate academic collaboration between OP Jindal Global University, the No.1 private University of India and the Ravenshaw University.
\nMany political & administrative dignitaries and Vice Chancellor of Ravenshaw University Dr. Sanjay Kumar Nayak and Registrar of Ravenshaw University Shri KC Malik, FFoI’s CEO Maj. Gen. (Retd.) Shri Ashim Kohli, JSP’s President and Group Head (CSR & Education), Shri Prashant Kumar Hota were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
