On this significant day, the 26th of January, we commemorate more than just the formation of our nation; we celebrate the spirit of dedication and honour. On this day in 1950, India officially adopted its Constitution, marking the birth of a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic. As we pay tribute to this historic moment, let us unite in a promise to uphold the sacrifices made by our brave freedom fighters. The team at Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre stands united on Republic Day, pledging to serve our country diligently. Our commitment extends from the heart of Kolkata to the project areas in the districts of South 24 Parganas, North 24 Parganas and Nadia in West Bengal, as well as the district of Nawada in Bihar. In the spirit of "Vande Mataram," we reaffirm our dedication to the betterment of our Nation, ensuring that the hard-fought battles for freedom are never forgotten. Together, let us work towards a brighter future, honouring the ideals that make our Republic strong and resilient. Happy Republic Day! The Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre team.
