Awareness About Struggle Of Freedom Fighters & Building Respect For The Country By Adding Values.

Objectives of the Practice: 

1. To inculcate patriotism and moral values in the students.
2. To create feeling of oneness among the students.

Freedom fighters are personification of bravery and their lives personify lessons of supreme struggle and endurance, which can have an enormous impact on students. They are role models from whom one derives strength.  The students face their share of stress during their academic careers and the role model can help them to sustain through. They can learn about dedication, determination, hard work, positivity, perseverance and lot many things from these figures.

Similarly good moral values help students to distinguish between the right and the wrong and builds a positive character.

Desh Bhagat University adopted an ideology of Late S. Lal Singh Ji. (1917–21st June 1989) who was as remarkable activist, thinker and freedom fighter. He was greatly influenced by Netaji’s thoughts. He envisioned an educated and prosperous society. His dream was realized by his worthy son, Dr. Zora Singh, Chancellor Desh Bhagat University. He laid the foundation of Desh Bhagat University with the thoughts and inspiration of Sardar Lal Singh Ji. Although Sardar Lal Singh Ji passed away on June 21, 1989, Desh Bhagat University remains a living testament to his inspiration, ideas, and love for his nation
