During their visit to CIT Kokrajhar, the team was briefed on the struggles, sacrifices, governance, community life, and the rich cultural heritage of Bodoland - a region known for its resilience and unity in diversity. The visiting students expressed deep appreciation for the warmth, traditions, and hospitality of the people of Bodoland.
The event resonated with patriotic fervor as students and faculty members joined together to sing "Vande Mataram", symbolizing unity, pride, and shared national identity. Speakers highlighted how initiatives like SEIL not only build mutual respect and cultural understanding but also strengthen the fabric of national solidarity.
